Nature. 392:1998;97-101. The regulator of chromosome condensation is important in the control of nucleocytoplasmic transport and the cell cycle. The regions of the protein that are involved in guanine nucleotide exchange and chromosome binding are located at opposite ends of the central tunnel of the propeller structure.

This paper reveals the structure of prolyl oligopeptidase, the prototype of a new class of serine peptidase. The catalytic triad of the α/β hydrolase fold domain is covered by a seven-bladed propeller domain that lacks molecular 'Velcro' closing and therefore can regulate access to the active site via its first and last blades. The enzyme is involved in the maturation and degradation of neuropeptides and peptide hormones.

J Mol Biol. 283:1998;837-862. This paper analyses the various proteins identified as containing the YWTD-repeat motif. A number of techniques, including fold recognition, were used to determine the likelihood that these proteins fold into a β-propeller structure. In particular, the paper describes a good protocol for structure prediction that might well be applied to other protein structure prediction problems.

The 1.7 Å crystal structure of the apo form of the soluble quinoprotein glucose dehydrogenase from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus reveals a novel internal conserved sequence repeat. J Mol Biol. 289:1999;319-333. The structure of the six-bladed propeller glucose dehydrogenase shows that this family of enzymes has two distinct hydrogen-bonding motifs, which are likely to contribute to the stability of the β propeller. The protein has been applied as a biosensor to monitor glucose concentrations in the blood samples of diabetes patients.
