Abstract
Urokinase plasminogen activator receptor‐associated protein (uPARAP) is an endocytic receptor that internalizes collagen for lysosomal degradation and plays an important role in matrix remodelling. Previous recombinant protein production of uPARAP in Pichia pastoris generated protein with highly heterogeneous glycans that was prone to proteolytic degradation, resulting in highly twinned crystals. In this study, the uPARAP ligand‐binding region was expressed in stably transfected Drosophila S2 insect cells. The recombinant protein was homogeneous after purification by metal‐affinity and anion‐exchange chromatography. Crystals were obtained at two different pH values (5.3 and 7.4) and diffracted to 2.44 and 3.13 Å resolution, respectively. A model of the ligand‐binding region of uPARAP was obtained by molecular replacement combined with autobuilding. As the first multidomain crystal structure of the mannose receptor family, structural characterization of the uPARAP ligand‐binding region will provide insight into the pH‐induced conformational rearrangements of the mannose receptor family.
