Structural bases for function in cytochromes c. An interpretation of comparative x-ray and biochemical data.
The tertiary structures of the photosynthetic cytochrome cz of Rhodospirillum rubrum and eucaryotic mitochondrial cytochrome c are compared, together with data on their physiochemical properties and activities in physiological oxidoreduction systems. The comparison gives rise to the following observations and proposals. 1. R. rubrum cytochrome cz does not undergo the extensive oxidoreduction-li...
متن کاملStructural bases for CRMP function in plexin-dependent semaphorin3A signaling.
Collapsin response mediator proteins (CRMPs) are cytosolic phosphoproteins involved in neuronal differentiation and axonal guidance. CRMP2 was previously shown to mediate the repulsive effect of Sema3A on axons and to participate in axonal specification. The X-ray crystal structure of murine CRMP1 was determined at 2.1 A resolution and demonstrates that CRMP1 is a bilobed 'lung-shaped' protein ...
متن کاملStructural bases for stability-function tradeoffs in antibiotic resistance.
Preorganization of enzyme active sites for substrate recognition typically comes at a cost to the stability of the folded form of the protein; consequently, enzymes can be dramatically stabilized by substitutions that attenuate the size and preorganization "strain" of the active site. How this stability-activity tradeoff constrains enzyme evolution has remained less certain, and it is unclear w...
متن کاملStructural bases of stability-function tradeoffs in enzymes.
The structures of enzymes reflect two tendencies that appear opposed. On one hand, they fold into compact, stable structures; on the other hand, they bind a ligand and catalyze a reaction. To be stable, enzymes fold to maximize favorable interactions, forming a tightly packed hydrophobic core, exposing hydrophilic groups, and optimizing intramolecular hydrogen-bonding. To be functional, enzymes...
متن کاملCytochromes c of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The chemolithoautotrophic Gram-negative bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is versatile and can grow on a number of electron donors and acceptors. In the A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 genome, computer analysis identified 11 genes encoding putative cytochromes c. At least eight putative cytochromes c were differentiated on gels in ATCC 33020 cells grown on ferrous iron or sulfur. All these cy...
