Structural Data: the Basis for Molecular Modeling
Theoretical Introduction Proteins can properly and correctly work only when they fold into their native structures. The possibility of observing the three-dimensional structure of a protein, through X-ray diffraction or NMR techniques, is essential to understand how a protein works and to rationally design potential ligands, capable of inhibiting or activating a biological target. We can, in fa...
متن کاملStructural Basis and Selectivity of Tankyrase Inhibition by a Wnt Signaling Inhibitor WIKI4
Recently a novel inhibitor of Wnt signaling was discovered. The compound, WIKI4, was found to act through tankyrase inhibition and regulate β-catenin levels in many cancer cell lines and human embryonic stem cells. Here we confirm that WIKI4 is a high potency tankyrase inhibitor and that it selectively inhibits tankyrases over other ARTD enzymes tested. The binding mode of the compound to tanky...
متن کاملStructural basis for epibatidine selectivity at desensitized nicotinic receptors.
The agonist binding sites of the fetal muscle nicotinic acetylcholine receptor are formed at the interfaces of alpha-subunits and neighboring gamma- and delta-subunits. When the receptor is in the nonconducting desensitized state, the alpha-gamma site binds the agonist epibatidine 200-fold more tightly than does the alpha-delta site. To determine the structural basis for this selectivity, we co...
متن کاملAn Ingenious Filter: the Structural Basis for Ion Channel Selectivity
channel from Streptomyces lividans, was readily overex-pressed in bacteria (Schrempf et al., 1995). Its primary sequence is related to the class of ion-selective channels called inwardly rectifying channels, as evidenced by the presence of two putative transmembrane helices with the ion selectivity–determining P region residing Neurobiology has taken a giant step forward: we know, between them ...
متن کاملStructural Basis for Substrate Selectivity of the E3 Ligase COP1.
COP1 proteins are E3 ubiquitin ligases that regulate phototropism in plants and target transcription factors for degradation in mammals. The substrate-binding region of COP1 resides within a WD40-repeat domain that also binds to Trib proteins, which are adaptors for C/EBPα degradation. Here we report structures of the human COP1 WD40 domain in isolation, and complexes of the human and Arabidops...
