Engineering allostery.
Allosteric proteins have great potential in synthetic biology, but our limited understanding of the molecular underpinnings of allostery has hindered the development of designer molecules, including transcription factors with new DNA-binding or ligand-binding specificities that respond appropriately to inducers. Such allosteric proteins could function as novel switches in complex circuits, meta...
متن کاملReview: allostery in chaperonins.
Chaperonins mediate protein folding in an ATP-dependent manner. ATP binding and hydrolysis by chaperonins are subject to both homotropic and heterotropic allosteric regulation. In the case of GroEL and CCT, homotropic regulation by ATP is manifested in nested cooperativity, which involves positive intra-ring cooperativity and negative inter-ring cooperativity in ATP binding. Both types of coope...
متن کاملA footnote on allostery.
A manuscript on allostery signed by Francis Crick and Jeffries Wyman was sent by Crick to Jacques Monod in 1965. Monod transmitted a copy of the manuscript, upon which he had written several comments, to Jean-Pierre Changeux, then a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California Berkeley in the laboratory of Howard Schachman. Changeux provided a copy to Stuart Edelstein, a graduate studen...
متن کاملProtein Allostery and Conformational Dynamics.
The functions of many proteins are regulated through allostery, whereby effector binding at a distal site changes the functional activity (e.g., substrate binding affinity or catalytic efficiency) at the active site. Most allosteric studies have focused on thermodynamic properties, in particular, substrate binding affinity. Changes in substrate binding affinity by allosteric effectors have gene...
متن کاملProbing allostery through DNA.
Allostery is well documented for proteins but less recognized for DNA-protein interactions. Here, we report that specific binding of a protein on DNA is substantially stabilized or destabilized by another protein bound nearby. The ternary complex's free energy oscillates as a function of the separation between the two proteins with a periodicity of ~10 base pairs, the helical pitch of B-form DN...
