Protein Complex Assembly02:41

Protein Complex Assembly

10.6K
Proteins can form homomeric complexes with another unit of the same protein or heteromeric complexes with different types.  Most protein complexes self-assemble spontaneously via ordered pathways, while some proteins need assembly factors that guide their proper assembly. Despite the crowded intracellular environment, proteins usually interact with their correct partners and form functional complexes.
Many viruses self-assemble into a fully functional unit using the infected host cell to...

Coat Assembly and GTPases01:33

Coat Assembly and GTPases

3.5K
Vesicles incorporate different coat protein subunits in different cell locations, which changes the properties of the coat, such as the shape and geometry of the transport vesicles. Thus, vesicle coat proteins also play a significant role in cargo selection.
Coat assembly depends on the local availability of phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs and GTP-binding proteins. Adaptor proteins, which link the coat proteins to the membrane, bind to these PIPs and play a crucial role in controlling...

Assembly of Complex Microtubule Structures

1.8K
Complex microtubule structures are present in resting cells and in dividing cells. In resting cells, they are responsible for maintaining the cellular architecture, tracks for intracellular transport, positioning of organelles, assembly of cilia and flagella. They mediate the bipolar spindle assembly for chromosomal segregation and positioning of the cell division plate in dividing cells. The formation of microtubule complex structures depends on the cell type, cell stage, and cell function.

ATP Synthase: Structure01:18

ATP Synthase: Structure

12.2K
ATP synthase or ATPase is among the most conserved proteins found in bacteria, mammals, and plants. This enzyme can catalyze a forward reaction in response to the electrochemical gradient, producing ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate. ATP synthase can also work in a reverse direction by hydrolyzing ATP and generating an electrochemical gradient. Different forms of ATP synthases have evolved special features to meet the specific demands of the cell. Based on their specific feature, ATP...

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts01:57

Protein Complexes with Interchangeable Parts

2.5K
Groups of proteins may form a complex where each protein in this complex has a different role in the overall execution of the complex’s function. Often some of the proteins in the complex can be replaced by a closely related variant to give a complex that contains many of the same components yet is functionally distinct.
The SCF ubiquitin ligase is a protein complex of five individual proteins. This complex attaches ubiquitin to other target proteins to mark them for degradation. In order...

The Proteasome Structure01:17

The Proteasome Structure

730
The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a well-known mechanism utilized by eukaryotic cells to remove cytoplasmic proteins that are misfolded, damaged, or no longer needed. In this pathway, the protein that needs to be eliminated undergoes a process called ubiquitination, where a chain of ubiquitin molecules is attached to the 48th lysine residue of the target protein. This ubiquitin modification helps the proteasome distinguish between a target protein and a healthy protein.
The proteasome is an...

Area of Science:

  • Cellular Biology
  • Molecular Interactions
  • Protein Biochemistry

Background:

  • The interaction between the Ro60 and Ro52 proteins within a subcellular complex has been debated.
  • Ro60 is known for preserving ncRNA quality, while Ro52 is involved in intracellular proteolysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the coexistence and interaction of Ro60 and Ro52 proteins within a subcellular complex.
  • To elucidate the structural basis and functional implications of the Ro60-Ro52 complex.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized molecular docking simulations.
  • Employed experimental techniques including Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D), Proximity Ligation Assay (PLA), and Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF).

Main Results:

  • Confirmed the association of Ro60 with Ro52 in the cytoplasm, forming a weak transient complex (Ka ≈ 3.7 x 106 M-1).
  • Characterized the interaction: the toroid-shaped Ro60 binds to Ro52's Fc receptor within the PRY-SPRY domains of the Ro52 homodimer.
  • Identified key residues (Ro52 chain A: K133, W177, L185) in Ro60 crucial for the complex stability and Ro60-YRNA interaction.

Conclusions:

  • The study reveals the formation of a functional Ro60-Ro52 complex in the cytoplasm.
  • This interaction bridges Ro60's role in YRNA management with Ro52's function in proteolysis.
  • Transient protein complexes may significantly influence cellular pathways.
