Structure and allosteric regulation of human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase

open access: yesCell Discovery, 2020
Human NAD-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase or HsIDH3 catalyzes the decarboxylation of isocitrate into α-ketoglutarate in the TCA cycle. HsIDH3 exists and functions as a heterooctamer composed of the αβ and αγ heterodimers, and is regulated ...

A non-equilibrium dynamic mechanism for the allosteric effect [PDF]

open access: yesPhys. Rev. Lett. 99, 168103 (2007), 2007
Allosteric regulation is often viewed as thermodynamic in nature. However protein internal motions during an enzymatic reaction cycle can be slow hopping processes over numerous potential barriers. We propose that regulating molecules may function by modifying the nonequilibrium protein dynamics.

Probing the enzyme kinetics, allosteric modulation and activation of α1- and α2-subunit-containing AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) heterotrimeric complexes by pharmacological and physiological activators

open access: yesBiochemical Journal, 2015
We have studied enzyme kinetics, nucleotide binding and allosteric modulation of six recombinant AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) isoforms by known allosteric activators.

Allostery and Kinetic Proofreading [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Phys. Chem. B 2019, 123, 51, 10990-11002, 2020
Kinetic proofreading is an error correction mechanism present in the processes of the central dogma and beyond, and typically requires the free energy of nucleotide hydrolysis for its operation. Though the molecular players of many biological proofreading schemes are known, our understanding of how energy consumption is managed to promote fidelity ...

Allosteric pyruvate kinase-based “logic gate” synergistically senses energy and sugar levels in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Pyruvate kinase (PYK) controls glycolytic flux. Here, the authors combine biochemical, structural and computational modelling studies to characterize the allosteric mechanisms regulating Mycobacterium tuberculosis PYK activity and show that AMP and ...

Turning up the heat mimics allosteric signaling in imidazole-glycerol phosphate synthase

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Allosteric drugs have the potential to revolutionize biomedicine due to their enhanced selectivity and protection against overdosage. However, we need to better understand allosteric mechanisms in order to fully harness their potential in drug discovery.

Globally correlated conformational entropy underlies positive and negative cooperativity in a kinase’s enzymatic cycle

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Allosteric interactions are an important contributor to the catalytic properties of enzyme. Here the authors demonstrate—using the prototypical protein kinase PKA—that the allosteric cooperativity underscoring substrate recognition and product release ...

Mapping the Intramolecular Communications among Different Glutamate Dehydrogenase States Using Molecular Dynamics

open access: yesBiomolecules, 2021
Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) is a ubiquitous enzyme that catalyzes the reversible oxidative deamination of glutamate to α-ketoglutarate. It acts as an important branch-point enzyme between carbon and nitrogen metabolisms.

Allostery and cooperativity in multimeric proteins: bond-to-bond propensities in ATCase [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, volume 8, Article number: 11079 (2018), 2019
Aspartate carbamoyltransferase (ATCase) is a large dodecameric enzyme with six active sites that exhibits allostery: its catalytic rate is modulated by the binding of various substrates at distal points from the active sites. A recently developed method, bond-to-bond propensity analysis, has proven capable of predicting allosteric sites in a wide range
