Conformational change of single-stranded RNAs induced by liposome binding
The interaction between single-stranded RNAs and liposomes was studied using UV, Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Circular Dichroism spectroscopy (CD). The effect of the surface characteristics of liposomes, which were composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) and modified with cholesterol (Ch) or 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium propane (DOTAP), on t...
متن کاملQCM-D Monitoring of Binding-Induced Conformational Change of Calmodulin
Understanding conformational changes are important when studying a protein such as calmodulin (CaM), which activates various target enzymes and regulates numerous physiological functions. CaM is a highly flexible protein that can transitorily adopt various conformations. A quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) sensor was used to study binding-induced conformational changes of sur...
متن کاملCd2+-induced conformational change of a synthetic metallopeptide: slow metal binding followed by a slower conformational change.
A two-stranded alpha-helical coiled coil was prepared having a Cys 4 metal-binding site within its hydrophobic interior. The addition of Cd2+ results in the incorporation of 2 equiv of metal ion, which is accompanied by a conformational change of the peptide, as observed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) shows that the addition of Cd2+ is accompanie...
متن کاملSequence-specific and Selective Recognition of Double-stranded RNAs over Single-stranded RNAs by Chemically Modified Peptide Nucleic Acids
RNAs are emerging as important biomarkers and therapeutic targets. Thus, there is great potential in developing chemical probes and therapeutic ligands for the recognition of RNA sequence and structure. Chemically modified Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) oligomers have been recently developed that can recognize RNA duplexes in a sequence-specific manner. PNAs are chemically stable with a neutral pep...
متن کاملRegulation of single-stranded DNA binding by the C termini of Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) protein.
The homotetrameric Escherichia coli single-stranded DNA-binding (SSB) protein plays a central role in DNA replication, repair, and recombination. In addition to its essential activity of binding to transiently formed single-stranded (ss) DNA, SSB also binds an array of partner proteins and recruits them to their sites of action using its four intrinsically disordered C-terminal tails. Here we s...
