Calmodulin conformational changes in the activation of protein kinases.
The conformation of Ca2+/calmodulin changes from extended when free in solution to compact when bound in peptide complexes. The extent and kinetics of calmodulin compaction in association with Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinases (CaMKs), as well as target peptides, were investigated by fluorescence, resonance energy transfer and stopped-flow kinetics. Compaction of Ca2+/calmodulin labelle...
متن کاملActivation of antibody Fc function by antigen-induced conformational changes.
IgM antibody directed against the pheny-beta-lactoside hapten was examined for its capacity to fix complement in the presence of the hapten, monohapten-substituted antigen, and multihapten-substituted antigen. Hapten was found to have no effect; monovalent antigen induced an excellent response which could be inhibited by hapten; and multivalent antigen also induced an excellent response which w...
متن کاملConformational changes underlying calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II activation.
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) interprets information conveyed by the amplitude and frequency of calcium transients by a controlled transition from an autoinhibited basal intermediate to an autonomously active phosphorylated intermediate (De Koninck and Schulman, 1998). We used spin labelling and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy to elucidate the structural a...
متن کاملHemocyanin conformational changes associated with SDS-induced phenol oxidase activation.
The enzymatic activity of phenoloxidase is assayed routinely in the presence of SDS. Similar assay conditions elicit phenoloxidase activity in another type 3 copper protein, namely hemocyanin, which normally functions as an oxygen carrier. The nature of the conformational changes induced in type 3 copper proteins by the denaturant SDS is unknown. This comparative study demonstrates that arthrop...
متن کاملBiphasic roles for soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) in platelet activation.
Nitric oxide (NO) stimulates cGMP synthesis by activating its intracellular receptor, soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC). It is a currently prevailing concept that No and cGMP inhibits platelet function. However, the data supporting the inhibitory role of NO/sGC/cGMP in platelets have been obtained either in vitro or using whole body gene deletion that affects vessel wall function. Here we have gen...
