Four-helix bundle: a ubiquitous sensory module in prokaryotic signal transduction

MOTIVATION Transmembrane chemoreceptors in Escherichia coli utilize ligand-binding domains for detecting various external signals. The structure of this domain in the E.coli aspartate receptor, Tar, is known and its signal transduction mechanism is under investigation. Current domain models for this important sensory module are inaccurate and, therefore, cannot reveal the distribution of this d...

Permeation of particle through a four-helix-bundle model channel.

By using molecular dynamics simulation, the dynamic behaviors of particle permeation through a four-helix-bundle model channel are studied. The interior cavity of the four-helix-bundle provides the "routes" for particle permeation. The main structural properties of the model channel are similar to those that appear in natural four-helix-bundle proteins. It is found that the interior structure o...

The design of a four-helix bundle protein.

The design of proteins with predetermined structural properties is a necessary first step in the de novo design of novel enzymes and receptors. A major problem associated with the design of proteins is the high flexibility inherent in polypeptide chains. It has been estimated that a protein of 100 residues can adopt up to 101~176 different conformations, a number that is as large as the number ...

Redesigning the hydrophobic core of a four-helix-bundle protein.

Rationally redesigned variants of the 4-helix-bundle protein Rop are described. The novel proteins have simplified, repacked, hydrophobic cores and yet reproduce the structure and native-like physical properties of the wild-type protein. The repacked proteins have been characterized thermodynamically and their equilibrium and kinetic thermal and chemical unfolding properties are compared with t...

Novel domains of the prokaryotic two-component signal transduction systems.

The archetypal two-component signal transduction systems include a sensor histidine kinase and a response regulator, which consists of a receiver CheY-like domain and a DNA-binding domain. Sequence analysis of the sensor kinases and response regulators encoded in complete bacterial and archaeal genomes revealed complex domain architectures for many of them and allowed the identification of seve...
