Membrane potential, adenylate levels and Mg2+ are interconnected via adenylate kinase equilibrium in plant cells.
Concentrations of adenylate species and free magnesium (Mg(2+)) within cells are mediated by the equilibrium governed by adenylate kinase (AK), the enzyme abundant in plants in chloroplast stroma and intermembrane spaces of chloroplasts and mitochondria. Ratios of free and Mg-bound adenylates (linked to the values of [Mg(2+)] established under AK equilibrium) can be rationalized in terms of the...
متن کاملOptimization of ATP synthase function in mitochondria and chloroplasts via the adenylate kinase equilibrium
The bulk of ATP synthesis in plants is performed by ATP synthase, the main bioenergetics engine of cells, operating both in mitochondria and in chloroplasts. The reaction mechanism of ATP synthase has been studied in detail for over half a century; however, its optimal performance depends also on the steady delivery of ATP synthase substrates and the removal of its products. For mitochondrial A...
متن کاملConformational Transitions in Adenylate Kinase
Large conformational changes in the LID and NMP domains of adenylate kinase (AKE) are known to be key to ligand binding and catalysis, yet the order of binding events anddomainmotion is not well understood. Combining the multiple available structures for AKEwith the energy landscape theory for protein folding, a theoretical model was developed for allostery, order of binding events, and efficie...
متن کاملLinkage between Fitness of Yeast Cells and Adenylate Kinase Catalysis
Enzymes have evolved with highly specific values of their catalytic parameters kcat and KM. This poses fundamental biological questions about the selection pressures responsible for evolutionary tuning of these parameters. Here we are address these questions for the enzyme adenylate kinase (Adk) in eukaryotic yeast cells. A plasmid shuffling system was developed to allow quantification of relat...
متن کاملThe crystal structure of human adenylate kinase 6: An adenylate kinase localized to the cell nucleus.
Adenylate kinases (AKs) play important roles in nucleotide metabolism in all organisms and in cellular energetics by means of phosphotransfer networks in eukaryotes. The crystal structure of a human AK named AK6 was determined by in-house sulfur single-wavelength anomalous dispersion phasing methods and refined to 2.0-A resolution with a free R factor of 21.8%. Sequence analyses revealed that h...
