Abstract
The treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is characterized by artificial supplementation of pancreatic β-cell ability to regulate sugar levels in the blood. Even though various insulin analogs are crucial for reasonable glycemic control, understanding the dynamic mechanism of the insulin analogs may help to improve the best-protracted insulin analog to assist people with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to live comfortably while maintaining tight glycemic control. Here we present the high-resolution crystal structure of NN304, known as insulin detemir, to 1.7 A resolution at cryogenic temperature. We computationally further investigated our crystal structure's monomeric-dimeric conformation and dynamic profile by comparing it with a previously available detemir structure (PDB ID: 1XDA). Our structure (PDB ID: 8HGZ) obtained at elevated pH provides a distinct alternative dimeric conformation compared to the previous structure, suggesting it might induce an intermediate state in the dissociation pathway of the insulin detemir’s hexamer:dihexamer equilibrium. Combined with orientational cross-correlation analysis by Gaussian Network Model (GNM), this alternate oligomeric conformation offers the distinct cooperative motions of a protracted insulin analog that has not been previously observed.
