概括

全长Factor Xa (FXa) 在溶液中表现出一个曲线形状,由单分子Förster共振能量转移证实. 这一发现验证了冷电子显微镜结构,并突出了FXaXa.

科学领域:

生物化学生物化学
结构生物学结构生物学
分子生物物理学分子生物物理学

背景情况:

现有的X射线结构的Xa因子 (FXa) 缺乏γ-carboxyglutamate (Gla) 域,防止可视化完整的蛋白质构造.
唯一现有的全长FXa结构,来自前热酶复合体的冷电子显微镜 (cryo-EM),表明了特定的Gla域定位.

研究的目的:

要确定冷EM中观察到的FXa的曲线形状是否也存在于溶液中.
描述全长FXa的溶液形状.

主要方法:

单分子弗斯特共振能量转移 (smFRET) 用于研究溶液中的FXa构成.
对自由的FXa和与生理基质结合的FXa进行了形态分析.

主要成果:

全长FXa的溶液形状第一次得到解决,揭示了一个曲的结构.
溶液中的FXa构型对离子 (Ca2+) 非常敏感.
溶液构成与其生菌体形式和其构成相似,其构成在前热血酶复合体内,无论是自由的还是与前热血或梅佐热血结合的.

结论:

单分子Förster共振能量转移证实FXa在溶液中具有曲线形状,无论是自由的还是与连接体结合的,验证了冷EM的发现.
缺少Ca2+的显著形状变化表明,维生素K对抗剂通过影响Gla域与双价的相互作用,改变FXa的结构结构.

¹H NMR of Conformationally Flexible Molecules: Temporal Resolution

At room temperature, the chair conformer of cyclohexane undergoes rapid ring flipping between two equivalent chair conformers at a rate of approximately 105 times per second. These two chair conformers are in equilibrium. The rapid ring flipping results in the interconversion of the axial proton to an equatorial proton and an equatorial to the axial proton. Such interconversions are too rapid and cannot be detected on the NMR timescale. Hence, the NMR spectrometer cannot distinguish between the...
