Ligand-induced conformational changes in ribonuclease.
The rate of formation of ribonuclease-S from ribonuclease A by the action of subtilisin was measured at pH 5.5 in the presence and absence of the strongly bound ribonuclease inhibitor, 2’-cytidylate. Presence of the inhibitor in the active center significantly reduced the rate of formation of ribonuclease-S. Since bond 20-21 (and, to a lesser extent, 21-22), the cleavage of which is responsible...
متن کاملLigand-induced conformational changes observed in single RNA molecules.
We present the first demonstration that fluorescence resonance energy transfer can be used to track the motion of a single molecule undergoing conformational changes. As a model system, the conformational changes of individual three-helix junction RNA molecules induced by the binding of ribosomal protein S15 or Mg(2+) ions were studied by changes in single-molecule fluorescence. The transition ...
متن کاملLigand-induced conformational changes within a hexameric Acyl-CoA thioesterase.
Acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) thioesterases play a crucial role in the metabolism of activated fatty acids, coenzyme A, and other metabolic precursor molecules including arachidonic acid and palmitic acid. These enzymes hydrolyze coenzyme A from acyl-CoA esters to mediate a range of cellular functions including β-oxidation, lipid biosynthesis, and signal transduction. Here, we present the crystal ...
متن کاملLigand-induced conformational changes in the Bacillus subtilis chemoreceptor McpB determined by disulfide crosslinking in vivo.
Previously, we characterized the organization of the transmembrane (TM) domain of the Bacillus subtilis chemoreceptor McpB using disulfide crosslinking. Cysteine residues were engineered into serial positions along the two helices through the membrane, TM1 and TM2, as well as double mutants in TM1 and TM2, and the extent of crosslinking determined to characterize the organization of the TM doma...
متن کاملLigand-induced changes in the conformational dynamics of a bacterial cytotoxic endonuclease.
Knowledge about the conformational dynamics of a protein is key to understanding its biochemical and biophysical properties. In the present work we investigated the dynamic properties of the enzymatic domain of DNase colicins via time-resolved fluorescence and anisotropy decay analysis in combination with steady-state acrylamide quenching experiments. The dynamic properties of the apoenzyme wer...
