Mutations in the PKM2 exon-10 region are associated with reduced allostery and increased nuclear translocation. [PDF]
PKM2 is a key metabolic enzyme central to glucose metabolism and energy expenditure. Multiple stimuli regulate PKM2's activity through allosteric modulation and post-translational modifications.

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

Binding leverage as a molecular basis for allosteric regulation.
Allosteric regulation involves conformational transitions or fluctuations between a few closely related states, caused by the binding of effector molecules.

Molecular determinants of pH regulation in the cardiac Na+-Ca2+ exchanger. [PDF]
The cardiac Na+-Ca2+ exchanger (NCX) plays a critical role in the heart by extruding Ca2+ after each contraction and thus regulates cardiac contractility.

Hairpin and allosteric regulation in ADAMTS13 [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , Muia et al 1 and Zhu et al, 2 using complementary approaches, provide important insights into the structure and function of ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin-1 repeats, member 13), identifying critical structural features and interactions that allosterically regulate its proteolytic activity ...

Chimeric glutamate receptor subunits reveal the transmembrane domain is sufficient for NMDA receptor pore properties but some positive allosteric modulators require additional domains [PDF]
NMDA receptors are ligand-gated ion channels that underlie transmission at excitatory synapses and play an important role in regulating synaptic strength and stability.

The structural basis of allosteric regulation in proteins [PDF]
Allosteric regulation of protein function occurs when the regulatory trigger, such as the binding of a small‐molecule effector or inhibitor, takes place some distance from the protein's, or protein complex's, active site. This distance can be a few Å, or tens of Å.

Discovery of intramolecular signal transduction network based on a new protein dynamics model of energy dissipation. [PDF]
A novel approach to reveal intramolecular signal transduction network is proposed in this work. To this end, a new algorithm of network construction is developed, which is based on a new protein dynamics model of energy dissipation. A key feature of this
