Coupled protein domain motion in Taq polymerase revealed by neutron spin-echo spectroscopy.
Long-range conformational changes in proteins are ubiquitous in biology for the transmission and amplification of signals; such conformational changes can be triggered by small-amplitude, nanosecond protein domain motion. Understanding how conformational changes are initiated requires the characterization of protein domain motion on these timescales and on length scales comparable to protein di...
متن کاملStructure-specific DNA-induced conformational changes in Taq polymerase revealed by small angle neutron scattering.
The DNA polymerase I from Thermus aquaticus (Taq polymerase) performs lagging-strand DNA synthesis and DNA repair. Taq polymerase contains a polymerase domain for synthesizing a new DNA strand and a 5'-nuclease domain for cleaving RNA primers or damaged DNA strands. The extended crystal structure of Taq polymerase poses a puzzle on how this enzyme coordinates its polymerase and the nuclease act...
متن کاملNanoscale protein dynamics: a new frontier for neutron spin echo spectroscopy.
Recent studies show that neutron spin echo spectroscopy (NSE) can reveal long-range protein domain motions on nanometer lengthscales and on nanosecond to microsecond timescales. This unique capability of NSE provides new opportunities to understand protein dynamics and functions, such as how binding signals are propagated in a protein to distal sites. Here we review our applications of NSE to t...
متن کاملMomentum-resolved electron-phonon interaction in lead determined by neutron resonance spin-echo spectroscopy.
Neutron resonance spin-echo spectroscopy was used to monitor the temperature evolution of the linewidths of transverse acoustic phonons in lead across the superconducting transition temperature over an extended range of the Brillouin zone. For phonons with energies below the superconducting energy gap, a linewidth reduction of maximum amplitude was observed below . The electron-phonon contribut...
