Noncovalent Attractions in Biomolecules

65.7K
Noncovalent attractions are associations within and between molecules that influence the shape and structural stability of complexes. These interactions differ from covalent bonding in that they do not involve sharing of electrons.
Four types of noncovalent interactions are hydrogen bonds, van der Waals forces, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.
Hydrogen bonding results from the electrostatic attraction of a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a strong-electronegative atom like oxygen,...

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

9.1K
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...

Valence Bond Theory

11.4K
Coordination compounds and complexes exhibit different colors, geometries, and magnetic behavior, depending on the metal atom/ion and ligands from which they are composed. In an attempt to explain the bonding and structure of coordination complexes, Linus Pauling proposed the valence bond theory, or VBT, using the concepts of hybridization and the overlapping of the atomic orbitals. According to VBT, the central metal atom or ion (Lewis acid) hybridizes to provide empty orbitals of suitable...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) involves amyloid precursor protein (APP) and its adaptor Fe65.
  • Fe65 has WW and phosphotyrosine-binding (PTB) domains, with PTB2 binding APP intracellular domain (AICD).
  • AICD binding alters Fe65 structure and activity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate Fe65-PTB2 dimerization in the absence of AICD.
  • Determine the structural basis of Fe65-PTB2 homodimerization.
  • Explore the role of Fe65 dimerization in APP signaling.

Main Methods:

  • Crystal structure determination of Fe65-PTB2 at 2.6 Å resolution.
  • Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
  • Cell-based assays.

Main Results:

  • Fe65-PTB2 forms a homodimer in solution without AICD.
  • Dimerization involves unwinding of a C-terminal α-helix, mimicking AICD binding.
  • Fe65-PTB2 and WW domain are essential and sufficient for dimerization.
  • NMR and cell-based studies validate Fe65 dimerization.

Conclusions:

  • Fe65 dimerizes via its APP-binding site, suggesting intermolecular interactions are crucial.
  • Fe65 dimerization offers a novel regulatory mechanism for APP signaling in AD.
  • Understanding Fe65 dimerization may lead to new therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's disease.
