Conformational dynamics of a ligand-free adenylate kinase. [PDF]
Adenylate kinase (AdK) is a phosphoryl-transfer enzyme with important physiological functions. Based on a ligand-free open structure and a ligand-bound closed structure solved by crystallography, here we use molecular dynamics simulations to examine the ...

Coupled ATPase-adenylate kinase activity in ABC transporters
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters hydrolyse ATP to transport molecules across the cell membrane. Here Vogelet al. show that the ABC exporter MsBA can couple ATP hydrolyse to an adenylate kinase activity that seems to be predominant at low ATP ...

Targeting the specific metabolic phenotypes of colorectal cancer stem cells (CRCSCs) is a potential therapeutic strategy for colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, the authors show that adenylate kinase hCINAP is overexpressed in CRC, binds to the C-terminal ...

RNA mimicry by the fap7 adenylate kinase in ribosome biogenesis.
During biogenesis of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits, the pre-40S particles are exported to the cytoplasm prior to final cleavage of the 20S pre-rRNA to mature 18S rRNA. Amongst the factors involved in this maturation step, Fap7 is unusual, as it both

Minimum free energy path of ligand-induced transition in adenylate kinase. [PDF]
Large-scale conformational changes in proteins involve barrier-crossing transitions on the complex free energy surfaces of high-dimensional space. Such rare events cannot be efficiently captured by conventional molecular dynamics simulations.

BackgroundEnergetic and metabolic circuits that orchestrate cell differentiation are largely unknown. Adenylate kinase (AK) and associated AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) constitute a major metabolic signaling axis, yet the role of this system in ...

Molecular and functional characterization of a Trypanosoma cruzi nuclear adenylate kinase isoform. [PDF]
Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiological agent of Chagas' disease, is an early divergent eukaryote in which control of gene expression relies mainly in post-transcriptional mechanisms.

Role of Repeated Conformational Transitions in Substrate Binding of Adenylate Kinase. [PDF]
The catalytic cycle of the enzyme adenylate kinase involves large conformational motions between open and closed states. A previous single-molecule experiment showed that substrate binding tends to accelerate both the opening and the closing rates and ...
