Dynamics of the Acetylcholinesterase Tetramer
Acetylcholinesterase rapidly hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in cholinergic synapses, including the neuromuscular junction. The tetramer is the most important functional form of the enzyme. Two low-resolution crystal structures have been solved. One is compact with two of its four peripheral anionic sites (PAS) sterically blocked by complementary subunits. The other is a loose tet...
متن کاملTetramer opening in LacI-mediated DNA looping.
Lactose repressor protein (LacI) controls transcription of the genes involved in lactose metabolism in bacteria. Essential to optimal LacI-mediated regulation is its ability to bind simultaneously to two operators, forming a loop on the intervening DNA. Recently, several lines of evidence (both theoretical and experimental) have suggested various possible loop structures associated with differe...
متن کاملCharacterization of the Ca-binding Sites of Annexin II Tetramer*
Annexin II heterotetramer (AIIt) is a multifunctional Ca-binding protein composed of two 11-kDa subunits and two annexin II subunits. The annexin II subunit contains three type II and two type III Ca-binding sites which are thought to regulate the interaction of AIIt with anionic phospholipid, F-actin, and heparin. In the present study we utilized site-directed mutagenesis to create AIIt mutant...
متن کاملOligonucleotide binding specificities of the hnRNP C protein tetramer.
Through the use of various non-equilibrium RNA binding techniques, the C protein tetramer of mammalian40S hnRNP particles has been characterized previously as a poly(U) binding protein with specificity for the pyrimidine-rich sequences that often precede 3' intron-exon junctions. C protein has also been characterized as a sequence-independent RNA chaperonin that is distributed along nascent tra...
متن کاملThe synaptic acetylcholinesterase tetramer assembles around a polyproline II helix.
Functional localization of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in vertebrate muscle and brain depends on interaction of the tryptophan amphiphilic tetramerization (WAT) sequence, at the C-terminus of its major splice variant (T), with a proline-rich attachment domain (PRAD), of the anchoring proteins, collagenous (ColQ) and proline-rich membrane anchor. The crystal structure of the WAT/PRAD complex rev...
