Protein Translocation: SecA–SecY Conformational Crosstalk Opens Channel
A new study of the bacterial Sec translocase complex reports that ADP/ATP binding to SecA triggers multiple conformational changes in the SecYEG channel that may allow the passive directional movement of the polypeptide chain.
متن کاملConformational Changes Underlying Desensitization of the Pentameric Ligand-Gated Ion Channel ELIC.
Structural rearrangements underlying functional transitions of pentameric ligand-gated ion channels (pLGICs) are not fully understood. Using (19)F nuclear magnetic resonance and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, we found that ELIC, a pLGIC from Erwinia chrysanthemi, expanded the extracellular end and contracted the intracellular end of its pore during transition from the resting to an appar...
متن کاملContinuum Molecular Simulation of Large Conformational Changes during Ion–Channel Gating
A modeling framework was developed to simulate large and gradual conformational changes within a macromolecule (protein) when its low amplitude high frequency vibrations are not concerned. Governing equations were derived as alternative to Langevin and Smoluchowski equations and used to simulate gating conformational changes of the Kv7.1 ion-channel over the time scale of its gating process (te...
متن کاملConformational changes of an ion channel detected through water-protein interactions using solid-state NMR spectroscopy.
The influenza A virus M2 protein is a pH-gated and amantadine-inhibited proton channel important for the virus life cycle. Proton conduction by M2 is known to involve water; however direct experimental evidence of M2-water interaction is scarce. Using (1)H spin diffusion solid-state NMR, we have now determined the water accessibility of the M2 transmembrane domain (M2-TM) in virus-envelope-mime...
متن کاملCrystallographic studies of the conformational changes that drive directional transmembrane ion movement in bacteriorhodopsin.
Recent advances in the determination of the X-ray crystallographic structures of bacteriorhodopsin, and some of its photointermediates, reveal the nature of the linkage between the relaxation of electrostatic and steric conflicts at the retinal and events elsewhere in the protein. The transport cycle can be now understood in terms of specific and well-described displacements of hydrogen-bonded ...
