Conformational Switching in Ezrin Regulates
B cell chemotaxis occurs in response to specific chemokine gradients and is critical for homeostasis and immune response. The molecular regulation of B cell membrane–actin interactions during migration is poorly understood. In this study, we report a role for ezrin, a member of the membrane-cytoskeleton cross-linking ezrin-radixin-moesin proteins, in the regulation of the earliest steps of B ce...
متن کاملConformational switching of the molecular chaperone Hsp90 via regulated phosphorylation.
Hsp90 is an essential molecular chaperone in the eukaryotic cytosol. Its function is modulated by cochaperones and posttranslational modifications. Importantly, the phosphatase Ppt1 is a dedicated regulator of the Hsp90 chaperone system. Little is known about Ppt1-dependent phosphorylation sites and how these affect Hsp90 activity. Here, we identified the major phosphorylation sites of yeast Hs...
متن کاملSwitching roles for a helicase
www.landesbioscience.com Cell Cycle 3125 Helicases are widespread enzymes that share a core RecA fold and characteristic amino acid motifs which together form an ATP binding/hydrolysis site. For the classical helicases (i.e., those which conform to the family name), ATP-binding provides energy to drive the separation of polynucleotide duplexes into single strands. There are also many enzymes wh...
متن کاملMolecular mechanism of multispecific recognition of Calmodulin through conformational changes.
Calmodulin (CaM) is found to have the capability to bind multiple targets. Investigations on the association mechanism of CaM to its targets are crucial for understanding protein-protein binding and recognition. Here, we developed a structure-based model to explore the binding process between CaM and skMLCK binding peptide. We found the cooperation between nonnative electrostatic interaction an...
متن کاملRas Conformational Switching: Simulating Nucleotide-Dependent Conformational Transitions with Accelerated Molecular Dynamics
Ras mediates signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation and development by cycling between GTP- and GDP-bound active and inactive conformational states. Understanding the complete reaction path of this conformational change and its intermediary structures is critical to understanding Ras signaling. We characterize nucleotide-dependent conformational transition using multiple-barrier-cros...
