Luminescence resonance energy transfer measurements in myosin.
Myosin is thought to generate force by a rotation between the relative orientations of two domains. Direct measurements of distances between the domains could potentially confirm and quantify these conformational changes, but efforts have been hampered by the large distances involved. Here we show that luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET), which uses a luminescent lanthanide as the ene...
متن کاملLuminescence resonance energy transfer-based intramolecular distance measurements in leucine transporter from Aquifex aeolicus
Background Solute carrier 6 (SLC6) membrane proteins are integral membrane proteins and of particular pharmacological interest because they are targets of many clinically important drugs. These SLC6 proteins play crucial roles ranging from nutrient uptake to neurotransmitter clearance. A leucine transporter LeuTAa from Aquifex aeolicus has been recognized as a bacterial orthologue of mammalian ...
متن کاملLuminescence and energy transfer in
Lu3Al5O12 (LuAG) doped with Ce 3+ is a promising scintillator material with a high density and a fast response time. The light output under x-ray or γ-ray excitation is however well below the theoretical limit. In this paper the influence of co-doping with Tb is investigated with the aim to increase the light output. For singly doped LuAG (with Ce or Tb) high resolution spectra are reported giv...
متن کاملLuminescence resonance energy transfer to study conformational changes in membrane proteins expressed in mammalian cells.
Luminescence Resonance Energy Transfer, or LRET, is a powerful technique used to measure distances between two sites in proteins within the distance range of 10-100 Å. By measuring the distances under various ligated conditions, conformational changes of the protein can be easily assessed. With LRET, a lanthanide, most often chelated terbium, is used as the donor fluorophore, affording advantag...
متن کاملClose proximity of myosin loop 3 to troponin determined by triangulation of resonance energy transfer distance measurements.
Cooperative activation of the thin filament is known to be influenced by the tight binding of myosin to actin, but the molecular mechanism underlying this contribution of myosin is not well understood. To better understand the structural relationship of myosin with the regulatory troponin complex, resonance energy transfer measurements were used to map the location of troponin relative to a nei...
