HAMP Domain Rotation and Tilting Movements Associated with Signal Transduction in the PhoQ Sensor Kinase
UNLABELLED HAMP domains are α-helical coiled coils that often transduce signals from extracytoplasmic sensing domains to cytoplasmic domains. Limited structural information has resulted in hypotheses that specific HAMP helix movement changes downstream enzymatic activity. These hypotheses were tested by mutagenesis and cysteine cross-linking analysis of the PhoQ histidine kinase, essential for ...
متن کاملThe HAMP Domain Structure Implies Helix Rotation in Transmembrane Signaling
HAMP domains connect extracellular sensory with intracellular signaling domains in over 7500 proteins, including histidine kinases, adenylyl cyclases, chemotaxis receptors, and phosphatases. The solution structure of an archaeal HAMP domain shows a homodimeric, four-helical, parallel coiled coil with unusual interhelical packing, related to the canonical packing by rotation of the helices. This...
متن کاملAssembly of the Transmembrane Domain of E. coli PhoQ Histidine Kinase: Implications for Signal Transduction from Molecular Simulations
The PhoQP two-component system is a signaling complex essential for bacterial virulence and cationic antimicrobial peptide resistance. PhoQ is the histidine kinase chemoreceptor of this tandem machine and assembles in a homodimer conformation spanning the bacterial inner membrane. Currently, a full understanding of the PhoQ signal transduction is hindered by the lack of a complete atomistic str...
متن کاملElucidating the Energetics of Bacterial Signal Transduction: Insights From Phoq
Bacteria transduce signals across the membrane using two-component systems, consisting of a membranespanning sensor histidine kinase and a cytoplasmic response regulator. The histidine kinase, PhoQ, serves as a master regulator of virulence response in S. typhimurium and E. coli. It also is inhibited by divalent cations, particularly Mg2+. While the periplasmic sensor domain of this protein has...
متن کاملAML-associated Flt3 kinase domain mutations show signal transduction differences compared with Flt3 ITD mutations.
Activating mutations of Flt3 are found in approximately one third of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and are an attractive drug target. Two classes of Flt3 mutations occur: internal tandem duplications (ITDs) in the juxtamembrane and point mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain (TKD). We and others have shown that Flt3-ITD induced aberrant signaling including strong activation of si...
