Solving coiled-coil protein structures
The successful approach to solving crystal structures of coiled-coil proteins with the program AMPLE is discussed.
متن کاملA seven-helix coiled coil.
Coiled-coil proteins contain a characteristic seven-residue sequence repeat whose positions are designated a to g. The interacting surface between alpha-helices in a classical coiled coil is formed by interspersing nonpolar side chains at the a and d positions with hydrophilic residues at the flanking e and g positions. To explore how the chemical nature of these core amino acids dictates the o...
متن کاملA periodic table of coiled-coil protein structures.
Coiled coils are protein structure domains with two or more alpha-helices packed together via interlacing of side chains known as knob-into-hole packing. We analysed and classified a large set of coiled-coil structures using a combination of automated and manual methods. This led to a systematic classification that we termed a "periodic table of coiled coils," which we have made available at ht...
متن کاملAn Undecided Coiled Coil
Leucine zippers are oligomerization domains used in a wide range of proteins. Their structure is based on a highly conserved heptad repeat sequence in which two key positions are occupied by leucines. The leucine zipper of the cell cycle-regulated Nek2 kinase is important for its dimerization and activation. However, the sequence of this leucine zipper is most unusual in that leucines occupy on...
متن کاملXenopus marginal coil (Xmc), a novel FGF inducible cytosolic coiled-coil protein regulating gastrulation movements
Gastrulation in vertebrates is a highly dynamic process driven by convergent extension movements of internal mesodermal cells, under the regulatory activity of the Spemann-Mangold or gastrula organizer. In a large-scale screen for genes expressed in the organizer, we have isolated a novel gene, termed Xmc, an acronym for Xenopus marginal coil. Xmc encodes a protein containing two widely spaced ...
