Structural Basis for Variant-Specific Neuroligin-Binding by α-Neurexin
Neurexins (Nrxs) are presynaptic membrane proteins with a single membrane-spanning domain that mediate asymmetric trans-synaptic cell adhesion by binding to their postsynaptic receptor neuroligins. α-Nrx has a large extracellular region comprised of multiple copies of laminin, neurexin, sex-hormone-binding globulin (LNS) domains and epidermal growth factor (EGF) modules, while that of β-Nrx has...
متن کاملStructural basis for the species-specific activity of TFIIS.
Many proteins involved in eukaryotic transcription are similar in function and in sequence between organisms. Despite the sequence similarities, there are many factors that do not function across species. For example, transcript elongation factor TFIIS is highly conserved among eukaryotes, and yet the TFIIS protein from Saccharomyces cerevisiae cannot function with mammalian RNA polymerase II a...
متن کاملMutant ATP-binding RNA aptamers reveal the structural basis for ligand binding.
The solution structure of the ATP-binding RNA aptamer has recently been determined by NMR spectroscopy. The three-dimensional fold of the molecule is determined to a large extent by stacking and hydrogen bond interactions. In the course of the structure determination it was discovered that several highly conserved nucleotides in the binding pocket can be substituted while retaining binding unde...
متن کاملLigand binding by TPR domains.
Tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) domains bind specific peptide ligands and are thought to mediate protein-protein interactions in a variety of biological systems. Here we compare peptide ligand-binding by several different TPR domains. We present specific examples that demonstrate that TPR domains typically undergo little or no structural rearrangement upon ligand binding. Our data suggest that, ...
متن کاملStructural Basis of Rnd1 Binding to Plexin Rho GTPase Binding Domains (RBDs)*
Plexin receptors regulate cell adhesion, migration, and guidance. The Rho GTPase binding domain (RBD) of plexin-A1 and -B1 can bind GTPases, including Rnd1. By contrast, plexin-C1 and -D1 reportedly bind Rnd2 but associate with Rnd1 only weakly. The structural basis of this differential Rnd1 GTPase binding to plexin RBDs remains unclear. Here, we solved the structure of the plexin-A2 RBD in com...
