Redundant mitochondrial targeting signals in yeast adenylate kinase.
Yeast adenylate kinase (Aky2p, Adk1p) occurs simultaneously in cytoplasm and mitochondrial intermembrane space. It has no cleavable mitochondrial targeting sequence, and the signal for mitochondrial import and submitochondrial sorting is largely unknown. The extreme N terminus of Aky2p is able to direct cytoplasmic passengers to mitochondria. However, an Aky2 mutant lacking this sequence is imp...
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 کاملInfluence of N-terminal sequence variation on the sorting of major adenylate kinase to the mitochondrial intermembrane space in yeast.
Major adenylate kinase (Aky2p) from yeast has no cleavable presequence and occurs in identical form in the mitochondrial intermembrane space (6-8%) and in the cytoplasm (approx. 90%). To identify the signal(s) on Aky2p that might be required for mitochondrial import, the N-terminal region was examined. The N-terminus of Aky2p can guide at least two cytoplasmic passengers, dihydrofolate reductas...
متن کاملStructure and expression of human mitochondrial adenylate kinase targeted to the mitochondrial matrix.
The previously isolated cDNA encoding human adenylate kinase (AK) isozyme 3 was recently renamed AK4. Consequently, human AK3 cDNA remains to be identified and we have little information about the functional relationship between human AK3 and AK4. In pursuit of the physiological roles of both the AK3 and AK4 proteins, we first isolated an authentic human AK3 cDNA and compared their expression. ...
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...
