A mechanism of covalent substrate binding in the x-ray structure of subunit K of the Escherichia coli dihydroxyacetone kinase.
Dihydroxyacetone (Dha) kinases are homologous proteins that use different phosphoryl donors, a multiphosphoryl protein of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate:phosphotransferase system in bacteria, ATP in animals, plants, and some bacteria. The Dha kinase of Escherichia coli consists of three subunits, DhaK and DhaL, which are colinear to the ATP-dependent Dha kinases of eukaryotes, a...
متن کاملNew Sequential Model for Human Hemoglobin: Alpha Subunit as Cooperativity Inducer
Hemoglobin is a tetrameric oxygen transport protein in animal bodies. However, there is a paucity of information regarding differences between alpha and beta subunits of hemoglobin in terms of oxygen affinity. The sequential model of Koshland, Nemthy and Filmer (KNF model) has attributed similar affinities to both alpha and beta subunits. The main purpose of the present study is to construct a ...
متن کاملExpression of Brucella abortus Omp25 Protein in Lactococcus lactis Probiotic Bacteria
Background and purpose: The sequence of Omp25 is conserved in all Brucella species. The high antigenicity of the product of this gene stimulates the host’s immune system. Using engineered probiotic bacteria is an appropriate method for vaccine transport. The aim of this study was to express the Omp25 of the Brucella abortus pathogenic bacterium in Lactococcus lactis probiotic bacterium. Materi...
متن کاملFrom 4'-Hydroxy-2,2':6',2''-Terpyridine Complex of Chromium(III) towards Cr2O3 Nanoparticles: Effects of the Calcination Temperature on the Particle Size and Morphology
A new chromium(III) complex containing 4ʹ-hydroxy-2,2ʹ:6ʹ,2ʺ-terpyridine (tpyOH) has been prepared by the reaction of CrCl3. 6H2O with tpyOH in the presence of metallic zinc to afford the new complex [CrCl3(tpyOH)] (1). The complex 1 was used as a suitable precursor for the preparation of Cr2O3 nanoparticles by the simple calcination method at three different annealed temperatures of 400, 600, ...
متن کاملSolution scattering reveals large differences in the global structures of type II protein kinase A isoforms.
Isoform diversity within the protein kinase A (PKA) family is achieved by catalytic (C) subunits binding to different isoforms of regulatory subunit homodimers (R2). In a previous small-angle X-ray scattering study, we showed that the type Ialpha R2 homodimer has a distinctive Y-shaped structure, while the IIalpha and IIbeta homodimers are highly flexible and extended in solution. Here we prese...
