Function-Related Conformational Dynamics of GPCRs Revealed by Solution NMR
نویسندگان
چکیده
NMR methods provide information about conformational dynamics of GPCRs over a wide range frequencies in aqueous media at near-physiological temperature, with minimal modification the wild-type GPCR covalent structures. Here we review our solution studies functionrelated GPCRs, including β2 adrenergic receptor, μ opioid and adenosine A2A receptor.

Profound conformational changes of PED/PEA-15 in ERK2 complex revealed by NMR backbone dynamics.
PED/PEA-15 is a small, non-catalytic, DED containing protein that is widely expressed in different tissues and highly conserved among mammals. PED/PEA-15 has been found to interact with several protein targets in various pathways, including FADD and procaspase-8 (apoptosis), ERK1/2 (cell cycle entry), and PLD1/2 (diabetes). In this research, we have studied the PED/PEA-15 in a complex with ERK2...
متن کاملBcL-xL Conformational Changes upon Fragment Binding Revealed by NMR
Protein-protein interactions represent difficult but increasingly important targets for the design of therapeutic compounds able to interfere with biological processes. Recently, fragment-based strategies have been proposed as attractive approaches for the elaboration of protein-protein surface inhibitors from fragment-like molecules. One major challenge in targeting protein-protein interaction...
متن کاملConformational Dynamics of Escherichia coli Flavodoxins in Apo- and Holo-States by Solution NMR Spectroscopy
Flavodoxins are a family of small FMN-binding proteins that commonly exist in prokaryotes. They utilize a non-covalently bound FMN molecule to act as the redox center during the electron transfer processes in various important biological pathways. Although extensive investigations were performed, detailed molecular mechanisms of cofactor binding and electron transfer remain elusive. Herein we r...
متن کاملMechanisms of amyloid formation revealed by solution NMR
Amyloid fibrils are proteinaceous elongated aggregates involved in more than fifty human diseases. Recent advances in electron microscopy and solid state NMR have allowed the characterization of fibril structures to different extents of refinement. However, structural details about the mechanism of fibril formation remain relatively poorly defined. This is mainly due to the complex, heterogeneo...
متن کاملDifferential dynamics in the G protein-coupled receptor rhodopsin revealed by solution NMR.
G protein-coupled receptors are cell-surface seven-helical membrane proteins that undergo conformational changes on activation. The mammalian photoreceptor, rhodopsin, is the best-studied member of this superfamily. Here, we provide the first evidence that activation in rhodopsin may involve differential dynamic properties of side-chain versus backbone atoms. High-resolution NMR studies of alph...
