Solution structure and dynamics of C-terminal regulatory domain of Vibrio vulnificus extracellular metalloprotease

► We have determined solution structures of vEP C-terminal regulatory domain. ► vEP C-ter100 has a compact β-barrel structure with eight anti-parallel β-strands. ► Solution structure of vEP C-ter100 shares its molecular topology with that of the collagen-binding domain of collagenase. ► Residues in the β3 region of vEP C-ter100 might be important in putative ligand/receptor binding. ► vEP C-ter100 interacts strongly with iron ion.
