Coevolution-based prediction of key allosteric residues for protein function regulation
eLife, 2023 Allostery is fundamental to many biological processes. Due to the distant regulation nature, how allosteric mutations, modifications, and effector binding impact protein function is difficult to forecast.

Prediction and confirmation of a switch-like region within the N-terminal domain of hSIRT1
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2022 Many proteins display conformational changes resulting from allosteric regulation. Often only a few residues are crucial in conveying these structural and functional allosteric changes.

The Allosteric Regulation of Pyruvate Kinase [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2000 Pyruvate kinase (PK) is critical for the regulation of the glycolytic pathway. The regulatory properties of Escherichia coli were investigated by mutating six charged residues involved in interdomain salt bridges (Arg(271), Arg(292), Asp(297), and Lys(413)) and in the binding of the allosteric activator (Lys(382) and Arg(431)).

The allosteric regulation of pyruvate kinase [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1996 Crystallographic and mutagenesis studies have unravelled the general features of the allosteric transition mechanism in pyruvate kinase. The enzyme displays a dramatic conformational change in going from the T‐ to the R‐state. All three domains forming each subunit of the tetrameric enzyme undergo simultaneous and concerted rotations, in such a way ...

Quaternary structure is an essential component that contributes to the sophisticated allosteric regulation mechanism in a key enzyme from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase (DAH7PS), adopts a range of distinct allosteric regulation mechanisms in different organisms, related to different quaternary assemblies.

Design of an allosterically regulated retroaldolase [PDF]
Protein Science, 2015 AbstractWe employed a minimalist approach for design of an allosterically controlled retroaldolase. Introduction of a single lysine residue into the nonenzymatic protein calmodulin led to a 15,000‐fold increase in the second order rate constant for retroaldol reaction with methodol as a substrate.

Molecular Structure Underlying the Allosteric Mechanism of Caffeine Detection in Taste Sensor
Chemosensors, 2023 The use of taste sensors with lipid/polymer membranes is one of the methods to evaluate taste. As previously reported, taste sensors can detect non-charged substances such as caffeine by modifying the lipid/polymer membranes with hydroxybenzoic acids ...

Computational Analysis of Residue Interaction Networks and Coevolutionary Relationships in the Hsp70 Chaperones: A Community-Hopping Model of Allosteric Regulation and Communication. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2017 Allosteric interactions in the Hsp70 proteins are linked with their regulatory mechanisms and cellular functions. Despite significant progress in structural and functional characterization of the Hsp70 proteins fundamental questions concerning modularity
