Correlated Inter-Domain Motions in Adenylate Kinase
Correlated inter-domain motions in proteins can mediate fundamental biochemical processes such as signal transduction and allostery. Here we characterize at structural level the inter-domain coupling in a multidomain enzyme, Adenylate Kinase (AK), using computational methods that exploit the shape information encoded in residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) measured under steric alignment by nuclea...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of adenylate kinase from the human filarial parasite Onchocerca volvulus
Adenylate kinases (ADK) are ubiquitous enzymes that contribute to the homeostasis of adeninenucleotides in living cells. In this study, the cloning of a cDNA encoding an adenylate kinase from the filariaOnchocerca volvulus has been described. Using PCR technique, a 281 bp cDNA fragment encoding part ofan adenylate kinase was isolated from an O. volvulus cDNA library. Use of this fragment as a p...
متن کاملConformational Transitions in Adenylate Kinase
Large conformational changes in the LID and NMP domains of adenylate kinase (AKE) are known to be key to ligand binding and catalysis, yet the order of binding events anddomainmotion is not well understood. Combining the multiple available structures for AKEwith the energy landscape theory for protein folding, a theoretical model was developed for allostery, order of binding events, and efficie...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of human adenylate kinase 6: An adenylate kinase localized to the cell nucleus.
Adenylate kinases (AKs) play important roles in nucleotide metabolism in all organisms and in cellular energetics by means of phosphotransfer networks in eukaryotes. The crystal structure of a human AK named AK6 was determined by in-house sulfur single-wavelength anomalous dispersion phasing methods and refined to 2.0-A resolution with a free R factor of 21.8%. Sequence analyses revealed that h...
متن کاملMapping the Dynamics Landscape of Conformational Transitions in Enzyme: The Adenylate Kinase Case.
Conformational transition describes the essential dynamics and mechanism of enzymes in pursuing their various functions. The fundamental and practical challenge to researchers is to quantitatively describe the roles of large-scale dynamic transitions for regulating the catalytic processes. In this study, we tackled this challenge by exploring the pathways and free energy landscape of conformati...
