Mitochondrial carriers in the cytoplasmic state have a common substrate binding site.
Mitochondrial carriers link biochemical pathways in the cytosol and mitochondrial matrix by transporting substrates across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Substrate recognition is specific for each carrier, but sequence similarities suggest the carriers have similar structures and mechanisms of substrate translocation. By considering conservation of amino acids, distance and chemical constrai...
متن کاملElectrostatic funneling of substrate in mitochondrial inner membrane carriers.
Exchange of ATP and ADP across mitochondrial membrane replenishes the cytoplasm with newly synthesized ATP and provides the mitochondria with the substrate ADP for oxidative phosphorylation. The sole means of this exchange is the mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC), a membrane protein that is suggested to cycle between two conformationally distinct states, cytosolic-open (c-state) and matrix-op...
متن کاملThe substrate binding site of pepsin.
In earlier reports from this laboratory, a series of new synthetic substrates for pepsin was described.'-' These compounds are of the general type Z-His-X-YOAI\e4 where X and Y are the residues of amino acids such as L-phenylalanine, p-nitro-L-phenylalanine, L-tyrosine, L-tryptophan, and L-leucine; the enzymic action is limited to the cleavage of the X-Y bond. One of the substrate analogues pre...
متن کاملInterferon induction site: poly IC on solid substrate carriers.
The complex of polyinosinate with polycytidylate (poly IC) has been attached to solid carriers which can be suspended in the medium over the cell monolayer; it has also been attached to surfaces which may be overgrown by the cell monolayer. Interferon production and antivirus protection achieved by these inducer systems were measured and it was found that such anchored poly IC conveyed antiviru...
متن کاملFunctional Plasticity in the Substrate Binding Site of -Secretase
The aspartic protease -secretase (BACE) cleaves the amyloid precursor protein into a 42 residue -peptide, which is the principal biochemical marker of Alzheimer’s disease. Multiple explicit-water molecular dynamics simulations of the apo and inhibitor bound structures of BACE indicate that both openand closed-flap conformations are accessible at room temperature and should be taken into account...
