- W2079413192 abstract "The steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein plays a crucial role in steroidogenesis, as it accelerates the transport of cholesterol to the inner mitochondrial membrane where the cytochrome P450scc enzyme is located. Mutations in the StAR gene can lead to lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (LCAH), a disease that is fatal if not treated with hormone replacement therapy. Solving the structure of StAR is an important aspect of understanding LCAH. Point mutations or truncations in the StAR gene produce a partial to non-functional protein that hinders the StAR-induced delivery of cholesterol to the mitochondria during an acute hormonal stimulation of steroidogenic cells. So far, homology modeling, structure-based thermodynamics and biophysical studies have allowed us to propose the existence of an open state of StAR where the C-terminal α-helix 4 undergoes partial unfolding. This may act as a gating mechanism to the cholesterol binding site. Once bound, cholesterol leads to the stabilization and the refolding of α-helix 4, and eventually to the interaction with an import complex at the surface of the mitochondria. Though the current homology models have proven useful in understanding StAR function, only the full determination of the 3D structure of the apo- and holo-states will further validate this two-state model. In this context, we have used solution-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and obtained high-resolution 1 H– 15 N-HSQC spectra of StAR in its apo- and holo-states at physiological pH. Both spectra displayed well-dispersed resonances. However, key differences are observed on the spectra which indicate that both states have stable but slightly different tertiary structures. In conjunction with the binding/activity assays and biophysical methods, this original NMR data constitutes another structural step into the validation of the two-state model and the three-dimensional structure of StAR." @default.
