Topography for independent binding of alpha-helical and PPII-helical ligands to a peroxisomal SH3 domain.
While the function of most small signaling domains is confined to binary ligand interactions, the peroxisomal Pex13p SH3 domain has the unique capacity of binding to two different ligands, Pex5p and Pex14p. We have used this domain as a model to decipher its structurally independent ligand binding sites. By the combined use of X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and circular dichroism, we ...
متن کاملSparsely populated folding intermediates of the Fyn SH3 domain: matching native-centric essential dynamics and experiment.
A complete description of how a protein folds requires the characterization of intermediate conformations traversed during the folding transition. We have calculated dynamics trajectories of a simplified model of the Fyn SH3 domain with a native-centric potential energy function. Analysis of the resulting site-resolved energy trajectory identifies an ensemble of intermediate conformations for f...
متن کاملInsights into Protein Aggregation by NMR Characterization of Insoluble SH3 Mutants Solubilized in Salt-Free Water
Protein aggregation in vivo has been extensively associated with a large spectrum of human diseases. On the other hand, mechanistic insights into protein aggregation in vitro were incomplete due to the inability in solubilizing insoluble proteins for high-resolution biophysical investigations. However, a new avenue may be opened up by our recent discovery that previously-thought insoluble prote...

متن کاملSlow dynamics in folded and unfolded states of an SH3 domain.
(15)N relaxation dispersion experiments were applied to the isolated N-terminal SH3 domain of the Drosophila protein drk (drkN SH3) to study microsecond to second time scale exchange processes. The drkN SH3 domain exists in equilibrium between folded (F(exch)) and unfolded (U(exch)) states under nondenaturing conditions in a ratio of 2:1 at 20 degrees C, with an average exchange rate constant, ...
