Mapping the 1 GABAC Receptor Agonist Binding Pocket
-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian brain. The GABA receptor type C (GABAC) is a ligand-gated ion channel with pharmacological properties distinct from the GABAA receptor. To date, only three binding domains in the recombinant 1 GABAC receptor have been recognized among six potential regions. In this report, using the substituted cysteine accessib...
متن کاملVaried DNA polymerase-substrate interactions in the nucleotide binding pocket.
Faithful transfer of genetic information from one generation to its offspring is crucial for the survival of any living species, Genomic integrity relies greatly upon the ability of DNA polymerases to efficiently catalyze selective DNA synthesis in a template-directed manner,11J Despite enormous efforts in structural and functional studies, the complex mechanisms by which DNA polymerases ensure...
متن کاملMapping allosteric connections from the receptor to the nucleotide-binding pocket of heterotrimeric G proteins.
Heterotrimeric G proteins function as molecular relays that mediate signal transduction from heptahelical receptors in the cell membrane to intracellular effector proteins. Crystallographic studies have demonstrated that guanine nucleotide exchange on the Galpha subunit causes specific conformational changes in three key "switch" regions of the protein, which regulate binding to Gbetagamma subu...
متن کاملLong-range cooperative binding effects in a T cell receptor variable domain.
Although cellular processes depend on protein-protein interactions, our understanding of molecular recognition between proteins remains far from comprehensive. Protein-protein interfaces are structural and energetic mosaics in which a subset of interfacial residues, called hot spots, contributes disproportionately to the affinity of the complex. These hot-spot residues can be further clustered ...
متن کاملSulfamethoxazole Induces a Switch Mechanism in T Cell Receptors Containing TCRVβ20-1, Altering pHLA Recognition
T cell receptors (TCR) containing Vβ20-1 have been implicated in a wide range of T cell mediated disease and allergic reactions, making it a target for understanding these. Mechanics of T cell receptors are largely unexplained by static structures available from x-ray crystallographic studies. A small number of molecular dynamic simulations have been conducted on TCR, however are currently lack...
