Engineering Pak1 Allosteric Switches.
P21-activated kinases (PAKs) are important regulators of cell motility and morphology. It has been challenging to interrogate their functions because cells adapt to genetic manipulation of PAK, and because inhibitors act on multiple PAK isoforms. Here we describe genetically encoded PAK1 analogues that can be selectively activated by the membrane-permeable small molecule rapamycin. An engineere...
متن کاملApoptosis: from Signalling Pathways to Therapeutic Tools
Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a gene regulated phenomenon which is important in both physiological and pathological conditions. It is characterized by distinct morphological features including chromatin condensation, cell and nuclear shrinkage, membrane blebbing and oligonucleosomal DNA fragmentation. Although, two major apoptotic pathways including 1) the death receptor (extrinsic) and...
متن کاملThe modular logic of signaling proteins: building allosteric switches from simple binding domains.
Many eukaryotic signal transduction proteins have component-based architectures: they are built from combinations of protein interaction domains and catalytic domains. Intact, these proteins display the sophisticated allosteric behavior required for cellular regulation; the protein's output activity is tightly repressed under basal conditions, but can be robustly activated by a specific set of ...
متن کاملEngineering allosteric protein switches by domain insertion.
Domain insertion is proving to be an effective way to construct hybrid proteins exhibiting switch-like behavior. In this strategy, two existing domains, the first exhibiting a signal recognition function and the second containing the function to be modulated, are fused such that the recognition of the signal by the first domain is transmitted to the second domain, thereby modulating its activit...
