Conformational Dynamics of a Ligand-Free Adenylate Kinase
Adenylate kinase (AdK) is a phosphoryl-transfer enzyme with important physiological functions. Based on a ligand-free open structure and a ligand-bound closed structure solved by crystallography, here we use molecular dynamics simulations to examine the stability and dynamics of AdK conformations in the absence of ligands. We first perform multiple simulations starting from the open or the clos...
متن کاملConformational Transitions in Adenylate Kinase
Large conformational changes in the LID and NMP domains of adenylate kinase (AKE) are known to be key to ligand binding and catalysis, yet the order of binding events anddomainmotion is not well understood. Combining the multiple available structures for AKEwith the energy landscape theory for protein folding, a theoretical model was developed for allostery, order of binding events, and efficie...
متن کاملMolecular dynamics of apo-adenylate kinase: a distance replica exchange method for the free energy of conformational fluctuations.
A large domain motion in adenylate kinase from E. coli (AKE) is studied with molecular dynamics. AKE undergoes a large-scale rearrangement of its lid and AMP-binding domains when the open form closes over its substrates, AMP, and Mg2+-ATP, whereby the AMP-binding and lid domains come closer to the core. The third domain, the core, is relatively stable during this motion. A reaction coordinate t...
متن کاملThe atomistic mechanism of conformational transition in adenylate kinase: a TEE-REX molecular dynamics study.
We report on an atomistic molecular dynamics simulation of the complete conformational transition of Escherichia coli adenylate kinase (ADK) using the recently developed TEE-REX algorithm. Two phases characterize the transition pathway of ADK, which folds into the domains CORE and LID and the AMP binding domain AMPbd. Starting from the closed conformation, half-opening of the AMPbd precedes a p...
متن کاملMolecular Dynamics Studies on the Conformational Transitions of Adenylate Kinase: A Computational Evidence for the Conformational Selection Mechanism
Escherichia coli adenylate kinase (ADK) is a monomeric phosphotransferase enzyme that catalyzes reversible transfer of phosphoryl group from ATP to AMP with a large-scale domain motion. The detailed mechanism for this conformational transition remains unknown. In the current study, we performed long time-scale molecular dynamics simulations on both open and closed states of ADK. Based on the st...
