Structural insights into sGC
The membrane and soluble guanylyl cyclases (sGCs) are key families of enzymes that produce the second messenger cGMP. Although both families recognize different ligands and have therefore different N-terminal input domains, they do have similar C-terminal output domains containing a coiled-coil domain and a guanylyl cyclase catalytic domain. We present here our latest structure-function studies...
متن کاملATP Binding Turns Plant Cryptochrome Into an Efficient Natural Photoswitch
Cryptochromes are flavoproteins that drive diverse developmental light-responses in plants and participate in the circadian clock in animals. Plant cryptochromes have found application as photoswitches in optogenetics. We have studied effects of pH and ATP on the functionally relevant photoreduction of the oxidized FAD cofactor to the semi-reduced FADH(·) radical in isolated Arabidopsis cryptoc...
متن کاملStructural insights into the effects of charge-reversal substitutions at the surface of horseradish peroxidase
Horseradish peroxidase (HRP), has gained significant interests in biotechnology, especially in biosensor field and diagnostic test kits. Hence, its solvent-exposed lysine residues 174, 232, and 241 have been frequently modified with the aim of improving its stability and catalytic efficiency. In this computational study, we investigated the effects of Lys-to-Glu substitutions on HRP structure t...
متن کاملStructural insights into RNA duplexes with multiple 2΄-5΄-linkages
2΄-5΄-linked RNAs play important roles in many biological systems. In addition, the mixture of 2΄-5΄ and 3΄-5΄ phosphodiester bonds have emerged as a plausible structural element in prebiotic RNAs. Toward our mechanistic studies of RNA folding and structures with heterogeneous backbones, we recently reported two crystal structures of a decamer RNA duplex containing two and six 2΄-5΄-linkages, s...
متن کاملStructural insights into translational fidelity.
The underlying basis for the accuracy of protein synthesis has been the subject of over four decades of investigation. Recent biochemical and structural data make it possible to understand at least in outline the structural basis for tRNA selection, in which codon recognition by cognate tRNA results in the hydrolysis of GTP by EF-Tu over 75 A away. The ribosome recognizes the geometry of codon-...
