Tetrahydrobiopterin regulates monoamine neurotransmitter sulfonation.
Monoamine neurotransmitters are among the hundreds of signaling small molecules whose target interactions are switched "on" and "off" via transfer of the sulfuryl-moiety (-SO3) from PAPS (3'-phosphoadenosine 5'-phosphosulfate) to the hydroxyls and amines of their scaffolds. These transfer reactions are catalyzed by a small family of broad-specificity enzymes-the human cytosolic sulfotransferase...
متن کاملSmall molecule control of chromatin remodeling.
Control of cellular transcriptional programs is based on reversible changes in chromatin conformation that affect access of the transcriptional machinery to specific gene promoters. Chromatin conformation is in turn controlled by the concerted effects of reversible, covalent modification of the DNA and histone components of chromatin, along with topographical changes in DNA-histone interactions...
متن کاملCalcium control of neurotransmitter release.
Upon entering a presynaptic terminal, an action potential opens Ca(2+) channels, and transiently increases the local Ca(2+) concentration at the presynaptic active zone. Ca(2+) then triggers neurotransmitter release within a few hundred microseconds by activating synaptotagmins Ca(2+). Synaptotagmins bind Ca(2+) via two C2-domains, and transduce the Ca(2+) signal into a nanomechanical activatio...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Control of Virulence Gene Expression in Francisella tularensis
In Francisella tularensis, the SspA protein family members MglA and SspA form a complex that associates with RNA polymerase (RNAP) to positively control the expression of virulence genes critical for the intramacrophage growth and survival of the organism. Although the association of the MglA-SspA complex with RNAP is evidently central to its role in controlling gene expression, the molecular d...
متن کاملSmall Molecule Control of Protein Function through Staudinger Reduction
Using small molecules to control the function of proteins in live cells with complete specificity is highly desirable, but challenging. Here we report a small-molecule switch that can be used to control protein activity. The approach uses a phosphine-mediated Staudinger reduction to activate protein function. Genetic encoding of an ortho-azidobenzyloxycarbonyl amino acid using a pyrrolysyl tran...
