The solution NMR structure of Antheraea polyphemus PBP provides new insight into pheromone recognition by pheromone-binding proteins.
Pheromone-binding proteins (PBPs) located in the antennae of male moth species play an important role in olfaction. They are carrier proteins, believed to transport volatile hydrophobic pheromone molecules across the aqueous sensillar lymph to the membrane-bound G protein-coupled olfactory receptor proteins. The roles of PBPs in molecular recognition and the mechanisms of pheromone binding and ...
متن کاملNMR structure of the pheromone Er-22 from Euplotes raikovi.
Cellular recognition and signal transduction processes mediated by polypeptides or small proteins, e.g., growth factors and hormones, are an important feature of intercellular communication in higher eukaryotes (e.g., Bradshaw, 1996). The pheromone regulatory system in Euplotes raikovi (E. raikovi) represents a similar, simpler system in a unicellular eukaryote, which may represent an evolution...
متن کاملNMR structure of human restriction factor APOBEC3A reveals substrate binding and enzyme specificity
Human APOBEC3A is a single-stranded DNA cytidine deaminase that restricts viral pathogens and endogenous retrotransposons, and has a role in the innate immune response. Furthermore, its potential to act as a genomic DNA mutator has implications for a role in carcinogenesis. A deeper understanding of APOBEC3A's deaminase and nucleic acid-binding properties, which is central to its biological act...
متن کاملStructure of ERK2 bound to PEA-15 reveals a mechanism for rapid release of activated MAPK
ERK1/2 kinases are the principal effectors of a central signalling cascade that converts extracellular stimuli into cell proliferation and migration responses and, when deregulated, can promote cell oncogenic transformation. The scaffolding protein PEA-15 is a death effector domain protein that directly interacts with ERK1/2 and affects ERK1/2 subcellular localization and phosphorylation. Here,...
متن کاملResolution of structure of PIP5K1A reveals molecular mechanism for its regulation by dimerization and dishevelled
Type I phosphatidylinositol phosphate kinase (PIP5K1) phosphorylates the head group of phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P) to generate PtdIns4,5P2, which plays important roles in a wide range of cellular functions including Wnt signalling. However, the lack of its structural information has hindered the understanding of its regulation. Here we report the crystal structure of the catalyt...
