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 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 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 of the Human Serotonin Transporter Revealed by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
The competitive inhibitor cocaine and the non-competitive inhibitor ibogaine induce different conformational states of the human serotonin transporter. It has been shown from accessibility experiments that cocaine mainly induces an outward-facing conformation, while the non-competitive inhibitor ibogaine, and its active metabolite noribogaine, have been proposed to induce an inward-facing confo...
متن کاملGlycosylation at Asn-289 facilitates the ligand-induced conformational changes of human Glu-plasminogen.
Glu-plasminogen exists in two major glycoforms (I and II). Glycoform I contains carbohydrate chains linked to Asn-289 and Thr-346, whereas glycoform II is glycosylated only at Thr-346. Disparities in carbohydrate content lead to differences in the important functional properties of the zymogen, e.g. the kinetics of activation. The kinetics of the large ligand-induced conformational changes of e...
