Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

9.4K
Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Directing Proteins to the Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

18.3K
The organelle-specific signaling sequences direct proteins synthesized in the cytosol to their final destination like ER, mitochondria, peroxisomes, etc. Some of the proteins directed to ER are then trafficked via vesicles to other organelles within the cell or the extracellular environment through the Golgi complex. For example, the rough ER synthesizes soluble proteins for transportation to the lysosomes or secretion out of the cell. It can also synthesize transmembrane proteins that can...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

9.9K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Summary

Chicken c-CrkII uses Pro238 isomerization to regulate SH3N domain activity, unlike human c-CrkII. Sequence differences at positions 239 and 272 explain this functional divergence in signal adapter proteins.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular biology
  • Protein structure and function
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • The signal adapter protein c-CrkII plays a role in cellular signaling pathways.
  • Human and chicken c-CrkII exhibit different regulatory mechanisms involving the SH3C and SH3N domains.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the molecular mechanism by which Pro238 isomerization in the SH3C domain regulates SH3N domain activity in chicken c-CrkII.
  • To identify the key sequence differences responsible for the distinct behaviors of human and chicken c-CrkII.

Main Methods:

  • Kinetic analysis of substrate binding to the SH3N domain.
  • Assay development to link Pro238 isomerization in SH3C with SH3N activity.
  • Analysis of protein sequence differences at positions 239 and 272.

Main Results:

  • Pro238 isomerization and Phe239 relocation in chicken c-CrkII reconfigure the N-Src loop energetics, optimizing SH3N interactions.
  • Met272 backbone strain occurs concomitantly with Pro238 isomerization.
  • Human c-CrkII's Ile239 and Val272 residues likely restrict backbone mobility, destabilizing the cis Pro238 conformation.

Conclusions:

  • Two specific sequence variations dictate the functional differences between human and chicken c-CrkII.
  • Pro238 isomerization in the SH3C domain is a critical regulatory step modulated by specific amino acid residues.
