Allosteric activation of coagulation factor
Coagulation factor VIIa (FVIIa) is present at subnanomolar concentration and represents a small percentage of the total amount of FVII in the circulation. FVIIa is poised to initiate blood clotting when it encounters its pivotal cofactor tissue factor (TF) which becomes exposed to blood upon vascular rupture. The requirement for complex formation with TF in order for FVIIa to express procoagula...
متن کاملCritical Molecular Determinants of α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Allosteric Activation: SEPARATION OF DIRECT ALLOSTERIC ACTIVATION AND POSITIVE ALLOSTERIC MODULATION.
The α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are uniquely sensitive to selective positive allosteric modulators (PAMs), which increase the efficiency of channel activation to a level greater than that of other nAChRs. Although PAMs must work in concert with "orthosteric" agonists, compounds such as GAT107 ((3aR,4S,9bS)-4-(4-bromophenyl)-3a,4,5,9b-tetrahydro-3H-cyclopenta[c]quinoline-8-sulf...
متن کاملPathways of allosteric regulation in Hsp70 chaperones
Central to the protein folding activity of Hsp70 chaperones is their ability to interact with protein substrates in an ATP-controlled manner, which relies on allosteric regulation between their nucleotide-binding (NBD) and substrate-binding domains (SBD). Here we dissect this mechanism by analysing mutant variants of the Escherichia coli Hsp70 DnaK blocked at distinct steps of allosteric commun...
متن کاملHybrid tetramers of porcine liver fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase reveal multiple pathways of allosteric inhibition.
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase is a square planar tetramer of identical subunits, which exhibits cooperative allosteric inhibition of catalysis by AMP. Protocols for in vitro subunit exchange provide three of five possible hybrid tetramers of fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase in high purity. The two hybrid types with different subunits in the top and bottom halves of the tetramer co-purify. Hybrid tetra...
متن کاملAllosteric pathways in imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase.
Protein allosteric pathways are investigated in the imidazole glycerol phosphate synthase heterodimer in an effort to elucidate how the effector (PRFAR, N'-[(5'-phosphoribulosyl)formimino]-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide) activates glutaminase catalysis at a distance of 25 Å from the glutamine-binding site. We apply solution NMR techniques and community analysis of dynamical netwo...
