Lipid-mediated Protein-protein Interactions Modulate Respiration-driven ATP Synthesis
Energy conversion in biological systems is underpinned by membrane-bound proton transporters that generate and maintain a proton electrochemical gradient across the membrane which used, e.g. for generation of ATP by the ATP synthase. Here, we have co-reconstituted the proton pump cytochrome bo3 (ubiquinol oxidase) together with ATP synthase in liposomes and studied the effect of changing the li...
متن کاملWhy does RecA protein hydrolyse ATP?
RecA is a DNA-dependent ATPase involved in DNA-strand repair. Most of the ATP hydrolysis that occurs in a RecA nucleoprotein filament is implicitly considered to be irrelevant in many current models for RecA-mediated DNA-strand exchange. However, preventing RecA from hydrolysing ATP alters its behavior, suggesting that ATP hydrolysis by RecA is more than incidental. This review explores recent ...
متن کاملTailoring protein nanomechanics with chemical reactivity
The nanomechanical properties of elastomeric proteins determine the elasticity of a variety of tissues. A widespread natural tactic to regulate protein extensibility lies in the presence of covalent disulfide bonds, which significantly enhance protein stiffness. The prevalent in vivo strategy to form disulfide bonds requires the presence of dedicated enzymes. Here we propose an alternative chem...
متن کاملSynaptic Vesicle Protein 2 ( SV 2 ) does not hydrolyze ATP
Synaptic vesicle protein 2 (SV2) is a transporter-like protein specifically expressed in endocrine cells and neurons, where it is localized to vesicles that undergo regulated secretion and plays an essential role in regulating neurotransmitter release. SV2 binds adenine nucleotides including ATP. Analysis of ATP transport revealed that SV2 is not an ATP transporter, nor does it affect ATP trans...
متن کاملCruentaren A Binds F1F0 ATP Synthase To Modulate the Hsp90 Protein Folding Machinery
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 requires the assistance of immunophilins, co-chaperones, and partner proteins for the conformational maturation of client proteins. Hsp90 inhibition represents a promising anticancer strategy due to the dependence of numerous oncogenic signaling pathways upon Hsp90 function. Historically, small molecules have been designed to inhibit ATPase activity at the Hsp90 N-...
