New structural insights into the gating movements of CFTR
365 C o m m e n t a r y In Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, there is an exhibit highlighting the evolutionary relationships between carnivorans. Glass cases lining two of the four walls of this room display specimens of feliforms, cats and their relatives. The other two walls are devoted to the caniforms, the dogs. In some future Museum of the Natural History of the Macromolecule, one...
متن کاملStructural insights into the mechanisms of Mg2+ uptake, transport, and gating by CorA.
Despite the importance of Mg(2+) for numerous cellular activities, the mechanisms underlying its import and homeostasis are poorly understood. The CorA family is ubiquitous and is primarily responsible for Mg(2+) transport. However, the key questions-such as, the ion selectivity, the transport pathway, and the gating mechanism-have remained unanswered for this protein family. We present a 3.2 Å...
متن کاملThermosensitive TRPV Channel Subunits Coassemble into Heteromeric Channels with Intermediate Conductance and Gating Properties
Heat-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels (TRPV1-4) form the major cellular sensors for detecting temperature increases. Homomeric channels formed by thermosensitive TRPV subunits exhibit distinct temperature thresholds. While these subunits do share significant sequence similarity, whether they can coassemble into heteromeric channels has been controversial. In the present stu...
متن کاملNew insights into the structural mechanisms of the COPII coat.
In eukaryotes, coat protein complex II (COPII) proteins are involved in transporting cargo proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus. The COPII proteins, Sar1, Sec23/24, and Sec13/31 polymerize into a coat that gathers cargo proteins into a coated vesicle. Structures have been recently solved of individual COPII proteins, COPII proteins in complex with cargo, and highe...
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...
