چکیده
SCaMC is an ATP-Mg/Pi carrier protein located at the mitochondrial inner membrane. SCaMC has an unusual N-terminal Ca(2+)-binding domain (NTD) in addition to its characteristic six-helix transmembrane bundle. The NTD of human SCaMC1 (residues 1-193) was expressed and purified in order to study its role in Ca(2+)-regulated ATP-Mg/Pi transport mediated by its transmembrane domain. While Ca(2+)-bound NTD could be crystallized, the apo state resisted extensive crystallization trials. Selenomethionine-labeled Ca(2+)-bound NTD crystals, which belonged to space group P6(2)22 with one molecule per asymmetric unit, diffracted X-rays to 2.9 Å resolution.

Purification, crystallization and preliminary X-ray diffraction analysis of the kinase domain of human tousled-like kinase 2
Tousled-like kinases (TLKs) are an evolutionarily conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases involved in chromatin dynamics, including DNA replication and repair, transcription and chromosome segregation. The two members of the family reported in humans, namely TLK1 and TLK2, localize to the cell nucleus and are capable of forming homo- or hetero-oligomers by themselves. To characteri...
متن کاملCalcium-induced conformational changes in the regulatory domain of the human mitochondrial ATP-Mg/Pi carrier
The mitochondrial ATP-Mg/Pi carrier imports adenine nucleotides from the cytosol into the mitochondrial matrix and exports phosphate. The carrier is regulated by the concentration of cytosolic calcium, altering the size of the adenine nucleotide pool in the mitochondrial matrix in response to energetic demands. The protein consists of three domains; (i) the N-terminal regulatory domain, which i...

The mitochondrial carriers play essential roles in energy metabolism. The short Ca²⁺-binding mitochondrial carrier (SCaMC) transports ATP-Mg in exchange for Pi and is important for activities that depend on adenine nucleotides. SCaMC adopts, in addition to the transmembrane domain (TMD) that transports solutes, an extramembrane N-terminal domain (NTD) that regulates solute transport in a Ca²⁺-d...

DDX3 is a human RNA helicase that is involved in RNA processing and important human diseases. This enzyme belongs to the DEAD-box protein family, the members of which are characterized by the presence of nine conserved motifs including the Asp-Glu-Ala-Asp motif that defines the family. DDX3 has two distinct domains: an ATP-binding domain in the central region of the protein and a helicase domai...

Mitochondrial ATP-Mg/Pi carriers import adenine nucleotides into the mitochondrial matrix and export phosphate to the cytosol. They are calcium-regulated to control the size of the matrix adenine nucleotide pool in response to cellular energetic demands. They consist of three domains: an N-terminal regulatory domain containing four calcium-binding EF-hands, a linker loop domain with an amphipat...
