Allosteric Communication in the KIX Domain Proceeds through Dynamic Repacking of the Hydrophobic Core
The KIX domain of the transcriptional coactivator CREB binding protein (CBP) co-operatively mediates interactions between transcription factors. Binding of the transcription factor mixed-lineage leukemia (MLL) induces the formation of a low-populated conformer of KIX that resembles the conformation of the KIX domain in the presence of a second transcription factor molecule. NMR spin relaxation ...
متن کاملHydrophobic core repacking and aromatic - aromatic interaction in the thermostable mutant of T 4 lysozyme
The T4 lysozyme mutant Ser 117 "t Phe was isolated fortuitously and found to be more thermostable than wildtype by 1 .l-1.4 kcal/mol. In the wild-type structure, the side chain of Ser 117 is in a sterically restricted region near the protein surface and forms a short hydrogen bond with Asn 132. The crystal structure of the S117F mutant shows that the introduced Phe side chain rotates by about 1...
متن کاملDramatic structural and thermodynamic consequences of repacking a protein's hydrophobic core.
BACKGROUND Rop is an RNA binding, dimeric, four-helix bundle protein with a well-defined, regular hydrophobic core ideally suited for redesign studies. A family of Rop variants in which the hydrophobic core was systematically redesigned has previously been created and characterized. RESULTS We present a structural and thermodynamic analysis of Ala2Ile2-6, a variant of Rop with an extensively ...
متن کاملDetermining protein similarity by comparing hydrophobic core structure
Formal assessment of structural similarity is - next to protein structure prediction - arguably the most important unsolved problem in proteomics. In this paper we propose a similarity criterion based on commonalities between the proteins' hydrophobic cores. The hydrophobic core emerges as a result of conformational changes through which each residue reaches its intended position in the protein...
متن کاملReengineering the Core Grid Ontology
Ontology engineering is a relatively new and immature science. With new possible applications and often non-normative standard proposals emerging rapidly it is hard to find one universal formalization of ontology engineering rules. This causes many authors to fall into a trap of focusing on the application of an ontology and not giving enough attention to the ontology itself. Such approach resu...
