چکیده

The research by my collaborators and myself since 1945 has been carried out entirely at the Pasteur Institute. This work has received decisive assistance from numerous institutions, in particular the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, the Rockefeller Foundation of New York, the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health of the United States, the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund, the Commissariat á l'Energie Atomique, and the Depsilonlepsilongation Gepsilonnepsilonrale alpha la Recherche Scientifique et Technique. A donation by MIesdames Edouard de Rothschild and Bethsabee de Rothschild permitted, in large part, the establishment in 1954 of the Department of Cellular Biochemistry at the Pasteur Institute

Negative allosteric regulation of Enterococcus faecalis small alarmone synthetase RelQ by single-stranded RNA.

The alarmone nucleotides guanosine pentaphosphate (pppGpp) and tetraphosphate (ppGpp), collectively referred to as (p)ppGpp, are key regulators of bacterial growth, stress adaptation, pathogenicity, and antibiotic tolerance. We show that the tetrameric small alarmone synthetase (SAS) RelQ from the Gram-positive pathogen Enterococcus faecalis is a sequence-specific RNA-binding protein. RelQ's en...

Kinetic Mechanism of Allosteric Regulation of Muscle Glycogen Phosphorylaseb by Adenosine

The steady-state kinetics of the reaction catalyzed by glycogen phosphorylase b from rabbit skeletal muscles has been studied in a wide range of the concentrations of adenosine 5 ′ -monophosphate in the direction of glycogen synthesis under the conditions of saturation of the enzyme by glycogen. The kinetic model has been proposed to describe the bell-shaped dependence of the initial rate of th...

Phi value analysis of heterogeneity in pathways of allosteric transitions: Evidence for parallel pathways of ATP-induced conformational changes in a GroEL ring.

What are the mechanisms of ligand-induced allosteric transitions in proteins? A powerful method to characterize pathways and transition states of reactions is phi value analysis. A phi value is the ratio between the changes on a perturbation (e.g., mutation) in the activation and equilibrium free energies of a reaction. Here, phi value analysis is used to characterize the ATP-induced allosteric...

Signaling Networks and Dynamics of Allosteric Transitions in Bacterial Chaperonin GroEL: Implications for Iterative Annealing of Misfolded Proteins

Signal transmission at the molecular level in many biological complexes occurs through allosteric transitions. They describe the response a complex to binding of ligands at sites that are spatially well separated from the binding region. We describe the Structural Perturbation Method (SPM), based on phonon propagation in solids, that can be used to determine the signal transmitting allostery wi...

Allosteric transitions of Torpedo acetylcholine receptor in lipids, detergent and amphipols: molecular interactions vs. physical constraints.

The binding of a fluorescent agonist to the acetycholine receptor from Torpedo electric organ has been studied by time-resolved spectroscopy in three different environments: in native membrane fragments, in the detergent CHAPS, and after complexation by amphipathic polymers ('amphipols'). Binding kinetics was similar in the membrane and in amphipols, demonstrating that the receptor can display ...
