Detergents stabilize the conformation of phosphodiesterase 6.
Membrane-bound phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6) plays an important role in visual signal transduction by regulating cGMP levels in rod photoreceptor cells. Our understanding of PDE6 catalysis and structure suffers from inadequate characterization of the α and β subunit catalytic core, interactions of the core with two intrinsically disordered, proteolysis-prone inhibitory PDEγ (Pγ) subunits, and bind...
متن کاملDivalent cations stabilize the conformation of plasma cell membrane glycoprotein PC-1 (alkaline phosphodiesterase I).
The plasma cell-membrane glycoprotein PC-1 is an ectoenzyme with alkaline phosphodiesterase I/5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.1) and nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) activities. It contains sequence motifs which closely match the consensus EF-hand (helix-loop-helix) Ca(2+)-binding regions of parvalbumin, troponin-C and calmodulin, and its enzymic activity is increased in the pr...
متن کاملSelf-Assembling Peptide Detergents Stabilize Isolated Photosystem Ion a Dry Surface for an Extended Time
We used a class of designed peptide detergents to stabilize photosystem I (PS-I) upon extended drying under N2 on a gold-coated-Ni-NTA glass surface. PS-I is a chlorophyll-containing membrane protein complex that is the primary reducer of ferredoxin and the electron acceptor of plastocyanin. We isolated the complex from the thylakoids of spinach chloroplasts using a chemical detergent. The chlo...
متن کاملConformation-Sensing Antibodies Stabilize the Oxidized Form of PTP1B and Inhibit Its Phosphatase Activity
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) plays important roles in downregulation of insulin and leptin signaling and is an established therapeutic target for diabetes and obesity. PTP1B is regulated by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced in response to various stimuli, including insulin. The reversibly oxidized form of the enzyme (PTP1B-OX) is inactive and undergoes profound conformational ch...
متن کاملMyosin and Tropomyosin Stabilize the Conformation of Formin-nucleated Actin Filaments*
The conformational elasticity of the actin cytoskeleton is essential for its versatile biological functions. Increasing evidence supports that the interplay between the structural and functional properties of actin filaments is finely regulated by actin-binding proteins; however, the underlying mechanisms and biological consequences are not completely understood. Previous studies showed that th...
