Structural features of PhoX, one of the phosphate-binding proteins from Pho regulon of Xanthomonas citri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 In Escherichia coli, the ATP-Binding Cassette transporter for phosphate is encoded by the pstSCAB operon. PstS is the periplasmic component responsible for affinity and specificity of the system and has also been related to a regulatory role and ...

The intracellular inositol (pyro)phosphate receptor AtSPX1 reciprocally binds to P1BS DNA [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsThe response of plants to phosphate starvation engages PHR (CC-MYB-PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE) transcription factors that bind to P1BS (GNATATNC) promoter elements of phosphate-starvation induced (PSI) genes. The encoded proteins include single-domain

Ancestral mutations as a tool for solubilizing proteins: The case of a hydrophobic phosphate-binding protein [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2014 Stable and soluble proteins are ideal candidates for functional and structural studies. Unfortunately, some proteins or enzymes can be difficult to isolate, being sometimes poorly expressed in heterologous systems, insoluble and/or unstable.

Structural divergence of paralogous S components from ECF-type ABC transporters [PDF]
, 2012 Energy coupling factor (ECF) proteins are ATP-binding cassette transporters involved in the import of micronutrients in prokaryotes. They consist of two nucleotide-binding subunits and the integral membrane subunit EcfT, which together form the ECF ...

Positively-charged semi-tunnel is a structural and surface characteristic of polyphosphate-binding proteins: an in-silico study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Phosphate is essential for all major life processes, especially energy metabolism and signal transduction. A linear phosphate polymer, polyphosphate (polyP), linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds, can interact with various proteins, playing ...

Phosphate binding sites prediction in phosphorylation-dependent protein–protein interactions
Bioinformatics, 2021 Abstract Motivation Phosphate binding plays an important role in modulating protein–protein interactions, which are ubiquitous in various biological processes. Accurate prediction of phosphate binding sites is an important but challenging task.

Phosphate‐binding sequences in nucleotide‐binding proteins [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1985 In the three‐dimensional model of adenylate kinase, the phosphate‐binding site for AMP and ATP has been identified [Pai, E.F. et al. (1977) J. Mol. Biol. 114, 37‐45]. In this region one can distinguish a sequence glycine XXXX glycinelysine. The same sequence is found in many other mononucleotide‐binding proteins including elongation factors and ...

Phosphate binding sites identification in protein structures [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2010 Nearly half of known protein structures interact with phosphate-containing ligands, such as nucleotides and other cofactors. Many methods have been developed for the identification of metal ions-binding sites and some for bigger ligands such as carbohydrates, but none is yet available for the prediction of phosphate-binding sites.

Elucidating the Phosphate Binding Mode of Phosphate-Binding Protein: The Critical Effect of Buffer Solution [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2018 Phosphate is an essential component of cell functions, and the specific transport of phosphorus into a cell is mediated by phosphate-binding protein (PBP). The mechanism of PBP-phosphate recognition remains controversial: on the basis of similar binding affinities at acidic and basic pHs, it is believed that the hydrogen network in the binding site is ...
