The conserved Lipoprotein-17 domain of membrane-associated protein Q9PRA0_UREPA from Ureaplasma parvum was selected for structure determination by the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium, as part of the Protein Structure Initiative's program on structure-function analysis of protein domains from large domain sequence families lacking structural representatives. The 100-residue Lipoprotein-17 domain is a "domain of unknown function" (DUF) that is a member of Pfam protein family PF04200, a large domain family for which no members have characterized biochemical functions. The three-dimensional structure of the Lipoprotein-17 domain of protein Q9PRA0_UREPA was determined by both solution NMR and by X-ray crystallography at 2.5*Å. The two structures are in good agreement with each other. The domain structure features three ?-helices, ?1 through ?3, and five ?-strands. Strands ?1/?2, ?3/?4, ?4/?5 are anti-parallel to each other. Strands ?1and ?2 are orthogonal to strands ?3, ?4, ?5, while helix ?3 is formed between the strands ?3 and ?4. One-turn helix ?2 is formed between the strands ?1 and ?2, while helix ?1 occurs in the N-terminal polypeptide segment. Searches of the Protein Data Bank do not identify any other protein with significant structural similarity to Lipoprotein-17 domain of Q9PRA0_UREPA, indicating that it is a novel protein fold.

Membrane proteins mediate so much of the information flow between cells and their surroundings. Understanding their molecular structure will inevitably give scientists insights into function and form as well as providing targets for novel pharmaceuticals when these proteins go awry.
