Allosteric determinants in guanine nucleotide-binding proteins.
Members of the G protein superfamily contain nucleotide-dependent switches that dictate the specificity of their interactions with binding partners. Using a sequence-based method termed statistical coupling analysis (SCA), we have attempted to identify the allosteric core of these proteins, the network of amino acid residues that couples the domains responsible for nucleotide binding and protei...
متن کاملThe histidine triad superfamily of nucleotide-binding proteins.
Histidine triad (HIT) proteins were until recently a superfamily of proteins that shared only sequence motifs. Crystal structures of nucleotide-bound forms of histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein (Hint) demonstrated that the conserved residues in HIT proteins are responsible for their distinctive, dimeric, 10-stranded half-barrel structures that form two identical purine nucleotide-bindin...
متن کاملOntogeny of guanine-nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins in rabbit liver.
Ontogeny of trimeric GTP-binding regulatory proteins (G-proteins) and their subunits in rabbit liver during neonatal development was studied, by using bacterial-toxin-catalysed ADP-ribosylation of membrane proteins, immunoblot analysis to quantify the alpha-subunit (alpha s and alpha i) of stimulatory (Gs) and inhibitory (Gi) G-protein and the beta-subunit, and reconstitution assay with cyc- me...
متن کاملMyristoylated alpha subunits of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins.
Antisera directed against specific subunits of guanine nucleotide-binding regulatory proteins (G proteins) were used to immunoprecipitate these polypeptides from metabolically labeled cells. This technique detects, in extracts of a human astrocytoma cell line, the alpha subunits of Gs (stimulatory) (alpha 45 and alpha 52), a 41-kDa subunit of Gi (inhibitory) (alpha 41), a 40-kDa protein (alpha ...
متن کاملCyclic nucleotide-binding domains in proteins having diverse functions.
Since the discovery of cAMP in the 1950s and the subsequent identification of cGMP, the role of these second messengers in mediating cellular function has been a major theme of research in biology. An important aspect of this research has been the identification and characterization of cyclic nucleotide receptors. For more than two decades, the bacterial CAMP-regulated catabolite gene activator...
