Model of maltose-binding protein/chemoreceptor complex supports intrasubunit signaling mechanism [PDF]
The Tar protein of Escherichia coli is unique among known bacterial chemoreceptors in that it generates additive responses to two very disparate ligands, aspartate and maltose. Aspartate binds directly to the periplasmic (extracytoplasmic) domain of Tar. Maltose first binds to maltose-binding protein (MBP). MBP then

Structural basis of TFIIH activation for nucleotide excision repair. [PDF]
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is the major DNA repair pathway that removes UV-induced and bulky DNA lesions. There is currently no structure of NER intermediates, which form around the large multisubunit transcription factor IIH (TFIIH).

Stimulation of the Maltose Transporter ATPase by Unliganded Maltose Binding Protein [PDF]
ATP hydrolysis by the maltose transporter (MalFGK(2)) is regulated by maltose binding protein (MBP). Binding of maltose to MBP brings about a conformational change from open to closed that leads to a strong stimulation of the MalFGK(2) ATPase. In this study, we address the long-standing but enigmatic observation that unliganded MBP is also able to ...

Several Affinity Tags Commonly Used in Chromatographic Purification
Affinity tags have become powerful tools from basic biological research to structural and functional proteomics. They were widely used to facilitate the purification and detection of proteins of interest, as well as the separation of protein complexes ...

Do anionic phospholipids serve as cofactors or second messengers for the regulation of activity of cloned ATP-sensitive K+ channels? [PDF]
The regulation of ion channels by anionic phospholipids is currently very topical. An outstanding issue is whether phosphatidylinositol 4,5-diphosphate and related species act as true second messengers in signaling or behave in a manner analogous to an ...

Conformational dynamics of the Hop1 HORMA domain reveal a common mechanism with the spindle checkpoint protein Mad2. [PDF]
The HORMA domain is a highly conserved protein-protein interaction module found in eukaryotic signaling proteins including the spindle assembly checkpoint protein Mad2 and the meiotic HORMAD proteins.
