Known allosteric proteins have central roles in genetic disease.
Allostery is a form of protein regulation, where ligands that bind sites located apart from the active site can modify the activity of the protein. The molecular mechanisms of allostery have been extensively studied, because allosteric sites are less ...

Structural insights into the role of the Smoothened cysteine-rich domain in Hedgehog signalling. [PDF]
Smoothened (Smo) is a member of the Frizzled (FzD) class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), and functions as the key transducer in the Hedgehog (Hh) signalling pathway.

Allosteric Regulation of Mammalian Pantothenate Kinase [PDF]
Pantothenate kinase is the master regulator of CoA biosynthesis and is feedback-inhibited by acetyl-CoA. Comparison of the human PANK3·acetyl-CoA complex to the structures of PANK3 in four catalytically relevant complexes, 5'-adenylyl-β,γ-imidodiphosphate (AMPPNP)·Mg2+, AMPPNP·Mg2+·pantothenate, ADP·Mg2+·phosphopantothenate, and AMP phosphoramidate ...

Heteroreceptor complexes and their allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in the central nervous system. Focus on examples from Dopamine D2 and Serotonin 5-HT1a receptors [PDF]
GPCR interacting proteins (specially β- arrestin) and their receptor-protein interactions are also covered but their interactions with the allosteric receptor-receptor interactions in heteroreceptor complexes remain to be elucidated.

Elasticity sampling links thermodynamics to metabolic control
Metabolic networks can be turned into kinetic models in a predefined steady state by sampling the reaction elasticities in this state. Elasticities for many reversible rate laws can be computed from the reaction Gibbs free energies, which are determined ...

Interplay between RNA‐protein interactions and RNA structures in gene regulation
Methodological advances in mapping transcriptome‐wide RNA‐protein interactions and RNA structures have started to uncover the potential of RNP conformations in gene regulation. Competing RNA–RNA, RNA‐protein and protein–protein interactions shape the compaction and function of RNPs throughout their lifetime and may provide novel therapeutic targets in ...

Allo-network drugs: Extension of the allosteric drug concept to protein-protein interaction and signaling networks [PDF]
Allosteric drugs are usually more specific and have fewer side effects than orthosteric drugs targeting the same protein. Here, we overview the current knowledge on allosteric signal transmission from the network point of view, and show that most ...

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 ...
