Bacterial periplasmic binding protein tertiary structures.
The periplasmic space of Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Salmone~la typh~murium contains a large variety of proteins with a wide range of functions. These proteins are associated with nutrient metabolism, transport, chemotaxis, antibiotic resistance, and energy utilization. There are about a dozen or so periplasmic proteins that participate in transport of small polar substr...
متن کاملBacterial Periplasmic Binding Proteins
The cell envelope of gram-negative bacteria includes inner and outer membranes with the periplasmic space in between. The transport systems for many nutrients in these organisms include components in both the periplasm and the inner membrane. In some cases, e.g., maltose, transport components in the outer membrane are also involved. The scope of this review will be limited to a progress report ...
متن کاملA periplasmic arsenite-binding protein involved in regulating arsenite oxidation.
Arsenic (As) is the most common toxic element in the environment, ranking first on the Superfund List of Hazardous Substances. Microbial redox transformations are the principal drivers of As chemical speciation, which in turn dictates As mobility and toxicity. Consequently, in order to manage or remediate environmental As, land managers need to understand how and why microorganisms react to As....
متن کاملBacterial periplasmic sialic acid-binding proteins exhibit a conserved binding site
Sialic acids are a family of related nine-carbon sugar acids that play important roles in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. These sialic acids are incorporated/decorated onto lipooligosaccharides as terminal sugars in multiple bacteria to evade the host immune system. Many pathogenic bacteria scavenge sialic acids from their host and use them for molecular mimicry. The first step of this process...
متن کاملCollective dynamics of periplasmic glutamine binding protein upon domain closure.
The glutamine binding protein is a vital component of the associated ATP binding cassette transport systems responsible for the uptake of glutamine into the cell. We have investigated the global movements of this protein by molecular dynamics simulations and principal component analysis (PCA). We confirm that the most dominant mode corresponds to the biological function of the protein, i.e., a ...
