Conformational changes of colicin Ia channel-forming domain upon membrane binding: a solid-state NMR study.
Channel-forming colicins are bactericidal proteins that spontaneously insert into hydrophobic lipid bilayers. We have used magic-angle spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to examine the conformational differences between the water-soluble and the membrane-bound states of colicin Ia channel domain, and to study the effect of bound colicin on lipid bilayer structure and d...
متن کاملBcL-xL Conformational Changes upon Fragment Binding Revealed by NMR
Protein-protein interactions represent difficult but increasingly important targets for the design of therapeutic compounds able to interfere with biological processes. Recently, fragment-based strategies have been proposed as attractive approaches for the elaboration of protein-protein surface inhibitors from fragment-like molecules. One major challenge in targeting protein-protein interaction...
متن کاملKinetics of conformational changes in Nereis sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein upon binding of divalent ions.
The sarcoplasmic calcium-binding protein (SCP) of the sandworm Nereis possesses three Ca2(+)-Mg2+ sites but no Ca2(+)-specific site. Binding of Mg2+, but not of Ca2+, displays a marked positive cooperativity. The apparent cooperativity of Ca2+ binding in the presence of Mg2+ results from the allostery in Mg2+ dissociation. Binding of the first Ca2+ or Mg2+ induces all the conformational change,...
متن کاملConformational changes in pediocin AcH upon vesicle binding and approximation of the membrane-bound structure in detergent micelles.
Pediocin AcH is a 44-residue antimicrobial peptide with bactericidal potency against Gram-positive bacteria such as Listeria. It belongs to a family of bacteriocins that, when membrane-associated, is predicted to contain beta-sheet and alpha-helical regions. All bacteriocins in this family have a conserved N-terminal disulfide bond. An additional C-terminal disulfide bond in pediocin AcH is tho...
متن کاملConformational changes in BID, a pro-apoptotic BCL-2 family member, upon membrane binding. A site-directed spin labeling study.
The BCL-2 family proteins constitute a critical control point in apoptosis. BCL-2 family proteins display structural homology to channel-forming bacterial toxins, such as colicins, transmembrane domain of diphtheria toxin, and the N-terminal domain of delta-endotoxin. By analogy, it has been hypothesized the BCL-2 family proteins would unfold and insert into the lipid bilayer upon membrane asso...
