Induction of flexibility through protein-protein interactions.

چکیده
The dimerization/docking (D/D) domain of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) holoenzyme mediates important protein-protein interactions that direct the subcellular localization of the enzyme. A kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) provide the molecular scaffold for the localization of PKA. The recent solution structures of two D/D AKAP complexes revealed that the AKAP binds to a surface-exposed, hydrophobic groove on the D/D. In the present study, we present an analysis of the changes in hydrogen/deuterium exchange protection and internal motions of the backbone of the D/D when free and bound to the prototype anchoring protein, Ht31(pep). We observe that formation of the complex results in significant, but small, increases in H/D exchange protection factors as well as increases in backbone flexibility, throughout the D/D, and in particular, in the hydrophobic binding groove. This unusual observation of increased backbone flexibility and marginal H/D exchange protection, despite high affinity protein-ligand interactions, may be a general effect observed for the stabilization of hydrophobic ligand/hydrophobic pocket interactions.

متن کاملDiscovering Domains Mediating Protein Interactions
Background: Protein-protein interactions do not provide any direct information regarding the domains within the proteins that mediate the interactions. The majority of proteins are multi domain proteins and the interaction between them is often defined by the pairs of their domains. Most of the former studies focus only on interacting domain pairs. However they do not consider the in...
