abstract = {Guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are essential
interferon-γ-activated largeGTPases that play a crucial
role in host defense against intracellular bacteriaand
parasites. While their protective functions rely on protein
polymerization,our understanding of the structural
intricacies of these multimerized statesremains limited. To
bridge this knowledge gap, we present dimer models forhuman
GBP1 (hGBP1) and murine GBP2 and 7 (mGBP2 and mGBP7) usingan
integrative approach, incorporating the crystal structure of
hGBP1's GTPasedomain dimer, crosslinking mass spectrometry,
small-angle X-ray scattering,protein–protein docking, and
molecular dynamics simulations. Our investiga-tion begins by
comparing the protein dynamics of hGBP1, mGBP2, andmGBP7. We
observe that the M/E domain in all three proteins exhibits
signifi-cant mobility and hinge motion, with mGBP7
displaying a slightly less pro-nounced motion but greater
flexibility in its GTPase domain. These dynamicdistinctions
can be attributed to variations in the sequences of mGBP7
andhGBP1/mGBP2, resulting in different dimerization modes.
Unlike hGBP1 andits close ortholog mGBP2, which exclusively
dimerize through their GTPasedomains, we find that mGBP7
exhibits three equally probable alternativedimer structures.
The GTPase domain of mGBP7 is only partially involved inits
dimerization, primarily due to an accumulation of negative
charge, allowingmGBP7 to dimerize independently of GTP.
Instead, mGBP7 exhibits a strong tendency to dimerize in an
antiparallel arrangement across its stalks. Theresults of
this work go beyond the sequence–structure–function
relationship,as the sequence differences in mGBP7 and
mGBP2/hGBP1 do not lead to dif-ferent structures, but to
different protein dynamics and dimerization. The dis-tinct
GBP dimer structures are expected to encode specific
functions crucial fordisrupting pathogen membranes.},
