Low Affinity and Slow Na+ Binding Precedes High Affinity Aspartate Binding in the Secondary-active Transporter GltPh.
GltPh from Pyrococcus horikoshii is a homotrimeric Na(+)-coupled aspartate transporter. It belongs to the widespread family of glutamate transporters, which also includes the mammalian excitatory amino acid transporters that take up the neurotransmitter glutamate. Each protomer in GltPh consists of a trimerization domain involved in subunit interactions and a transport domain containing the sub...
متن کاملHigh-affinity folate binding in human prostate.
Binding of 3H-folate in Triton X-100 solubilized human prostate homogenate was of a high-affinity type and displayed apparent positive cooperativity typical of specific folate binding. Radioligand dissociation was slow at pH 7.4, but rapid at pH 3.5. Gel chromatography revealed two major folate binding proteins (M(r) approximately 100 and 25 kDa), but only one single band (M(r) approximately 65...
متن کاملCooperation of the Conserved Aspartate 439 and Bound Amino Acid Substrate Is Important for High-Affinity Na+ Binding to the Glutamate Transporter EAAC1
The neuronal glutamate transporter EAAC1 contains several conserved acidic amino acids in its transmembrane domain, which are possibly important in catalyzing transport and/or binding of co/countertransported cations. Here, we have studied the effects of neutralization by site-directed mutagenesis of three of these amino acid side chains, glutamate 373, aspartate 439, and aspartate 454, on the ...
متن کاملMechanical conversion of low-affinity Integration Host Factor binding sites into high-affinity sites
Although DNA is often bent in vivo, it is unclear how DNA-bending forces modulate DNAprotein binding affinity. Here, we report how a range of DNA-bending forces modulates the binding of the Integration Host Factor (IHF) protein to various DNAs. Using solution fluorimetry and electrophoretic mobility shift assays, we measured the affinity of IHF for DNAs with different bending forces and sequenc...
متن کاملY95 and E444 interaction required for high-affinity S-citalopram binding in the human serotonin transporter.
The human serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) transporter (hSERT) is responsible for the reuptake of 5-HT following synaptic release, as well as for import of the biogenic amine into several non-5-HT synthesizing cells including platelets. The antidepressant citalopram blocks SERT and thereby inhibits the transport of 5-HT. To identify key residues establishing high-affinity citalopram bindin...
