Melatonin biosynthesis: the structure of serotonin N-acetyltransferase at 2.5 A resolution suggests a catalytic mechanism. (1/55031)

Conversion of serotonin to N-acetylserotonin, the precursor of the circadian neurohormone melatonin, is catalyzed by serotonin N-acetyltransferase (AANAT) in a reaction requiring acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA). AANAT is a globular protein consisting of an eight-stranded beta sheet flanked by five alpha helices; a conserved motif in the center of the beta sheet forms the cofactor binding site. Three polypeptide loops converge above the AcCoA binding site, creating a hydrophobic funnel leading toward the cofactor and serotonin binding sites in the protein interior. Two conserved histidines not found in other NATs are located at the bottom of the funnel in the active site, suggesting a catalytic mechanism for acetylation involving imidazole groups acting as general acid/base catalysts.  (+info)

Structural basis of Rab effector specificity: crystal structure of the small G protein Rab3A complexed with the effector domain of rabphilin-3A. (2/55031)

The small G protein Rab3A plays an important role in the regulation of neurotransmitter release. The crystal structure of activated Rab3A/GTP/Mg2+ bound to the effector domain of rabphilin-3A was solved to 2.6 A resolution. Rabphilin-3A contacts Rab3A in two distinct areas. The first interface involves the Rab3A switch I and switch II regions, which are sensitive to the nucleotide-binding state of Rab3A. The second interface consists of a deep pocket in Rab3A that interacts with a SGAWFF structural element of rabphilin-3A. Sequence and structure analysis, and biochemical data suggest that this pocket, or Rab complementarity-determining region (RabCDR), establishes a specific interaction between each Rab protein and its effectors. RabCDRs could be major determinants of effector specificity during vesicle trafficking and fusion.  (+info)

Crystal structures of two Sm protein complexes and their implications for the assembly of the spliceosomal snRNPs. (3/55031)

The U1, U2, U4/U6, and U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) involved in pre-mRNA splicing contain seven Sm proteins (B/B', D1, D2, D3, E, F, and G) in common, which assemble around the Sm site present in four of the major spliceosomal small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). These proteins share a common sequence motif in two segments, Sm1 and Sm2, separated by a short variable linker. Crystal structures of two Sm protein complexes, D3B and D1D2, show that these proteins have a common fold containing an N-terminal helix followed by a strongly bent five-stranded antiparallel beta sheet, and the D1D2 and D3B dimers superpose closely in their core regions, including the dimer interfaces. The crystal structures suggest that the seven Sm proteins could form a closed ring and the snRNAs may be bound in the positively charged central hole.  (+info)

A viral mechanism for inhibition of p300 and PCAF acetyltransferase activity. (4/55031)

Nucleosomal histone modification is believed to be a critical step in the activation of RNA polymerase II-dependent transcription. p300/CBP and PCAF histone acetyltransferases (HATs) are coactivators for several transcription factors, including nuclear hormone receptors, p53, and Stat1alpha, and participate in transcription by forming an activation complex and by promoting histone acetylation. The adenoviral E1A oncoprotein represses transcriptional signaling by binding to p300/CBP and displacing PCAF and p/CIP proteins from the complex. Here, we show that E1A directly represses the HAT activity of both p300/CBP and PCAF in vitro and p300-dependent transcription in vivo. Additionally, E1A inhibits nucleosomal histone modifications by the PCAF complex and blocks p53 acetylation. These results demonstrate the modulation of HAT activity as a novel mechanism of transcriptional regulation.  (+info)

Crystal structure of the cytoplasmic domain of the type I TGF beta receptor in complex with FKBP12. (5/55031)

Activation of the type I TGFbeta receptor (TbetaR-I) requires phosphorylation of a regulatory segment known as the GS region, located upstream of the serine/threonine kinase domain in the cytoplasmic portion of the receptor. The crystal structure of a fragment of unphosphorylated TbetaR-I, containing both the GS region and the catalytic domain, has been determined in complex with the FK506-binding protein FKBP12. TbetaR-I adopts an inactive conformation that is maintained by the unphosphorylated GS region. FKBP12 binds to the GS region of the receptor, capping the TbetaR-II phosphorylation sites and further stabilizing the inactive conformation of TbetaR-I. Certain structural features at the catalytic center of TbetaR-I are characteristic of tyrosine kinases rather than Ser/Thr kinases.  (+info)

Crystal structure of wild-type human procathepsin K. (6/55031)

Cathepsin K is a lysosomal cysteine protease belonging to the papain superfamily. It has been implicated as a major mediator of osteoclastic bone resorption. Wild-type human procathepsin K has been crystallized in a glycosylated and a deglycosylated form. The latter crystals diffract better, to 3.2 A resolution, and contain four molecules in the asymmetric unit. The structure was solved by molecular replacement and refined to an R-factor of 0.194. The N-terminal fragment of the proregion forms a globular domain while the C-terminal segment is extended and shows substantial flexibility. The proregion interacts with the enzyme along the substrate binding groove and along the proregion binding loop (residues Ser138-Asn156). It binds to the active site in the opposite direction to that of natural substrates. The overall binding mode of the proregion to cathepsin K is similar to that observed in cathepsin L, caricain, and cathepsin B, but there are local differences that likely contribute to the specificity of these proregions for their cognate enzymes. The main observed difference is in the position of the short helix alpha3p (67p-75p), which occupies the S' subsites. As in the other proenzymes, the proregion utilizes the S2 subsite for anchoring by placing a leucine side chain there, according to the specificity of cathepsin K toward its substrate.  (+info)

Tolerance of a protein to multiple polar-to-hydrophobic surface substitutions. (7/55031)

Hydrophobic substitutions at solvent-exposed positions in two alpha-helical regions of the bacteriophage P22 Arc repressor were introduced by combinatorial mutagenesis. In helix A, hydrophobic residues were tolerated individually at each of the five positions examined, but multiple substitutions were poorly tolerated as shown by the finding that mutants with more than two additional hydrophobic residues were biologically inactive. Several inactive helix A variants were purified and found to have reduced thermal stability relative to wild-type Arc, with a rough correlation between the number of polar-to-hydrophobic substitutions and the magnitude of the stability defect. Quite different results were obtained in helix B, where variants with as many as five polar-to-hydrophobic substitutions were found to be biologically active and one variant with three hydrophobic substitutions had a t(m) 6 degrees C higher than wild-type. By contrast, a helix A mutant with three similar polar-to-hydrophobic substitutions was 23 degrees C less stable than wild-type. Also, one set of three polar-to-hydrophobic substitutions in helix B was tolerated when introduced into the wild-type background but not when introduced into an equally active mutant having a nearly identical structure. Context effects occur both when comparing different regions of the same protein and when comparing the same region in two different homologues.  (+info)

Sequence specificity, statistical potentials, and three-dimensional structure prediction with self-correcting distance geometry calculations of beta-sheet formation in proteins. (8/55031)

A statistical analysis of a representative data set of 169 known protein structures was used to analyze the specificity of residue interactions between spatial neighboring strands in beta-sheets. Pairwise potentials were derived from the frequency of residue pairs in nearest contact, second nearest and third nearest contacts across neighboring beta-strands compared to the expected frequency of residue pairs in a random model. A pseudo-energy function based on these statistical pairwise potentials recognized native beta-sheets among possible alternative pairings. The native pairing was found within the three lowest energies in 73% of the cases in the training data set and in 63% of beta-sheets in a test data set of 67 proteins, which were not part of the training set. The energy function was also used to detect tripeptides, which occur frequently in beta-sheets of native proteins. The majority of native partners of tripeptides were distributed in a low energy range. Self-correcting distance geometry (SECODG) calculations using distance constraints sets derived from possible low energy pairing of beta-strands uniquely identified the native pairing of the beta-sheet in pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI). These results will be useful for predicting the structure of proteins from their amino acid sequence as well as for the design of proteins containing beta-sheets.  (+info)

Protein domains are compact regions of a proteins structure that often convey some distinct function. Domain architecture, or order of domains in a protein, is frequently considered as a fundamental level of protein functional complexity [1]. The majority of the protein repertoire is composed of multidomain proteins; two-thirds of the proteins in prokaryotes and about four-fifths eukaryotic ones have two or more domains [2]. Moreover, an organisms complexity relates much better to the number of distinct domain architectures [3] and expansion in particular domain families [4] than to the number of genes in the organism. The prevalence of proteins with more than two domains and the recurrent appearance of the same domain in non-homologues proteins show that functional domains are reused when creating new proteins. Because of this, domains have been likened to Lego bricks that can be recombined in various ways to build proteins with completely new functions [5]. Hence, one way to study evolution ...
The sterile alpha motif (SAM) is a protein interaction domain of around 70 amino acids present predominantly in the N- and C-termini of more than 60 diverse proteins that participate in signal transduction and transcriptional repression. SAM domains have been shown to homo- and hetero-oligomerize and to mediate specific protein-protein interactions. A highly conserved subclass of SAM domains is present at the intracellular C-terminus of more than 40 Eph receptor tyrosine kinases that are involved in the control of axonal pathfinding upon ephrin-induced oligomerization and activation in the event of cell-cell contacts. These SAM domains appear to participate in downstream signaling events via interactions with cytosolic proteins. We determined the solution structure of the EphB2 receptor SAM domain and studied its association behavior. The structure consists of five helices forming a compact structure without binding pockets or exposed conserved aromatic residues. Concentration-dependent chemical ...

Homer protein homolog 1 or Homer1 is a neuronal protein that in humans is encoded by the HOMER1 gene. Other names are Vesl and PSD-Zip45. Homer1 protein has an N-terminal EVH1 domain, involved in protein interaction, and a C-terminal coiled-coil domain involved in self association. It consists of two major splice variants, short-form (Homer1a) and long-form (Homer1b and c). Homer1a has only EVH1 domain and is monomeric while Homer1b and 1c have both EVH1 and coiled-coil domains and are tetrameric. The coiled-coil can be further separated into N-terminal half and C-terminal half. The N-terminal half of the coiled-coil domain is predicted to be a parallel dimer while the C-terminus half is a hybrid of dimeric and anti-parallel tetrameric coiled-coil. As a whole, long Homer is predicted to have a dumbbell-like structure where two pairs of EVH1 domains are located on two sides of long (~50 nm) coiled-coil domain. Mammals have Homer2 and Homer3, in addition to Homer1, which have similar domain ...

In the accompanying paper (Nagy, Szláma, Szarka, Trexler, Bányai, Patthy, Reassessing Domain Architecture Evolution of Metazoan Proteins: Major Impact of Gene Prediction Errors) we showed that in the case of UniProtKB/TrEMBL, RefSeq, EnsEMBL and NCBIs GNOMON predicted protein sequences of Metazoan species the contribution of erroneous (incomplete, abnormal, mispredicted) sequences to domain architecture (DA) differences of orthologous proteins might be greater than those of true gene rearrangements. Based on these findings, we suggest that earlier genome-scale studies based on comparison of predicted (frequently mispredicted) protein sequences may have led to some erroneous conclusions about the evolution of novel domain architectures of multidomain proteins. In this manuscript we examine the impact of confusing paralogous and epaktologous multidomain proteins (i.e., those that are related only through the independent acquisition of the same domain types) on conclusions drawn about DA evolution of
Monotopic proteins represent a specialized group of membrane proteins in that they are engaged in biochemical events taking place at the membrane interface. In particular, the monotopic lipid-synthesizing enzymes are able to synthesize amphiphilic lipid products by catalyzing two biochemically distinct molecules (substrates) at the membrane interface. Thus, from an evolutionary point of view, anchoring into the membrane interface enables monotopic enzymes to confer sensitivity to a changing environment by regulating their activities in the lipid biosynthetic pathways in order to maintain a certain membrane homeostasis. We are focused on a plant lipid-synthesizing enzyme DGD2 involved in phosphate shortage stress, and analyzed the potentially important lipid anchoring segments of it, by a set of biochemical and biophysical approaches. A mechanism was proposed to explain how DGD2 adjusts its activity to maintain a proper membrane. In addition, a multivariate-based bioinformatics approach was used ...
Ras is a small GTPase, controlling signal transduction pathways and promoting cell proliferation and survival. KRAS is frequently mutated in cancer. Ras consists of highly homologous catalytic domains and flexible C-terminal hypervariable regions (HVRs) that differ significantly across Ras isoforms. Recent NMR and MD simulations discovered that the HVR of K-Ras4B-GDP extensively interacts with the catalytic domain. However, it weakly interacts with the catalytic domain in the GTP-bound state. Here, using MD simulations we modeled K-Ras4B membrane interaction and dimerization. On the membrane, the catalytic domain takes on multiple orientations, including perpendicular and parallel alignments of the allosteric helices with respect to the membrane normal. In the autoinhibited state, the HVR is sandwiched between the effector lobe and the membrane; in the active state, with the farnesyl anchored into the membrane and the HVR unrestrained, the catalytic domain fluctuates reinlessly, exposing its ...

Alpha-helical transmembrane proteins constitute about 20% of all proteins encoded by most genomes (Krogh et al. 2001) and are responsible for several vital processes in the cell. In addition, the medical importance of membrane bound receptors, channels, and pumps as targets for drugs is well established. Still, for the large majority of membrane proteins, the structure or even the topology, i.e., the positions and in/out-orientations of all transmembrane helices, is not known experimentally. The continuously growing amount of sequence data, in combination with the limited amount of structural data available, highlight the need for better and more accurate theoretical structure prediction methods, particularly for the annotation of membrane proteins. ,br,,br, Protein domains are modular, independently evolving, and structurally similar amino acid segments, which may exist alone in single-domain proteins, or may combine to form multi-domain proteins.

Many putative downstream effectors of the small GTPases Cdc42 and Rac contain a GTPase binding domain (GBD), also called p21 binding domain (PBD), which has been shown to specifically bind the GTP bound form of Cdc42 or Rac, with a preference for Cdc42 [1,2]. The most conserved region of GBD/PBD domains is the N-terminal Cdc42/Rac interactive binding motif (CRIB), which consists of about 16 amino acids with the consensus sequence I-S-x-P-x(2,4)-F-x-H-x(2)-H-V-G [3]. Although the CRIB motif is necessary for the binding to Cdc42 and Rac, it is not sufficient to give high-affinity binding [4,5]. A less well conserved inhibitory switch (IS) domain responsible for maintaining the proteins in a basal (autoinhibited) state is located C-terminaly of the CRIB-motif [6,7,8]. GBD domains can adopt related but distinct folds depending on context. Although GBD domains are largely unstructured in the free state, the IS domain forms an N-terminal β hairpin that immediately follows the conserved CRIB motif and ...

Inflammation, regardless of whether it is provoked by infection or by tissue damage, starts with the activation of macrophages which initiate a cascade of inflammatory responses by producing the cytokines interleukin-1 (IL-1) and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (ref. 1). Three naturally occurring ligands for the IL-1 receptor (IL1R) exist: the agonists IL-1alpha and IL-1beta and the IL-1-receptor antagonist IL1RA (ref. 2). IL-1 is the only cytokine for which a naturally occurring antagonist is known. Here we describe the crystal structure at 2.7 A resolution of the soluble extracellular part of type-I IL1R complexed with IL1RA. The receptor consists of three immunoglobulin-like domains. Domains 1 and 2 are tightly linked, but domain three is completely separate and connected by a flexible linker.

AU - Boehning, Darren. PY - 2012/8/28. Y1 - 2012/8/28. N2 - Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is a type I transmembrane protein associated with the pathogenesis of Alzheimers disease (AD). APP is characterized by a large extracellular domain and a short cytosolic domain termed the APP intracellular domain (AICD). During maturation through the secretory pathway, APP can be cleaved by proteases termed α, β, and γ-secretases1. Sequential proteolytic cleavage of APP with β and γ-secretases leads to the production of a small proteolytic peptide, termed Aβ, which is amyloidogenic and the core constituent of senile plaques. The AICD is also liberated from the membrane after secretase processing, and through interactions with Fe65 and Tip60, can translocate to the nucleus to participate in transcription ...

How many ways protein protein interactions are regulated? - posted in Biochemistry: I wonder how many ways protein-protein interactions are regulated. I know a lot of protein protein interactions are modified by phosphorylaton or other modification. Is there other ways that mediate the protein protein interaction? Thanks!
AICD, the C-terminal tail generated from the proteolytic cleavage of the Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP), has been generating interest for its transcriptional modulatory roles. AICD has been hypothesized to have such a function as it is generated by a gamma-secretase-mediated regulated intramembrane proteolysis step, analogous to the generation of Notch intracellular domain (NICD), a well-known transcriptional regulator, from Notch. The AICD/Fe65/Tip60 ternary complex has been proposed as the working transcriptional regulatory complex and some of its target genes have been reported. However, our knowledge of the functions of AICD is still limited due to difficulties in detecting and manipulating the rapidly degraded peptide. Looking at AICD transcription modulation targets from a genome-wide perspective will aid our understanding of the role of AICD tremendously.

The BAR (Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs) domain is the most conserved feature in amphiphysins from yeast to human and is also found in endophilins and nadrins. We solved the structure of the Drosophila amphiphysin BAR domain. It is a crescent-shaped dimer that binds preferentially to highly curved negatively charged membranes. With its N-terminal amphipathic helix and BAR domain (N-BAR), amphiphysin can drive membrane curvature in vitro and in vivo. The structure is similar to that of arfaptin2, which we find also binds and tubulates membranes. From this, we predict that BAR domains are in many protein families, including sorting nexins, centaurins, and oligophrenins. The universal and minimal BAR domain is a dimerization, membrane-binding, and curvature-sensing module.
The antigen-binding site of antibodies forms at the interface of their two variable domains, VH and VL, making VH-VL domain orientation a factor that codetermines antibody specificity and affinity. Preserving VH-VL domain orientation in the process of antibody engineering is important in order to re …
Eukaryotic cells have evolved an intricate system to resolve DNA damage to prevent its transmission to daughter cells. This system, collectively known as the DNA damage response (DDR) network, includes many proteins that detect DNA damage, promote repair, and coordinate progression through the cell cycle. Because defects in this network can lead to cancer, this network constitutes a barrier against tumorigenesis. The modular BRCA1 carboxyl-terminal (BRCT) domain is frequently present in proteins involved in the DDR, can exist either as an individual domain or as tandem domains (tBRCT), and can bind phosphorylated peptides. We performed a systematic analysis of protein-protein interactions involving tBRCT in the DDR by combining literature curation, yeast two-hybrid screens, and tandem affinity purification coupled to mass spectrometry. We identified 23 proteins containing conserved BRCT domains and generated a human protein-protein interaction network for seven proteins with tBRCT. This study ...
Interplay between cellular membranes and their peripheral proteins drives many processes in eukaryotic cells. Proteins of the Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain family, in particular, play a role in cellular morphogenesis, for example curving planar membranes into tubular membranes. However, it is still unclear how F-BAR domain proteins act on membranes. Electron microscopy revealed that, …
A recent study showed that the globular tail of Myo4p is not required for the localization of GFP-MS2-tethered particles to the bud and for the inheritance of ER (Bookwalter et al., 2009). This observation suggested that the globular tail might be dispensable for the localization of endogenous ASH1 mRNA and thus also for inhibition of mating type switching in the daughter cell. It further raised the question of whether the globular tail of Myo4p has any function. Here, we used an experimentally refined, globular tail-lacking Myo4p to confirm the previous findings from Bookwalter et al. (2009) (Fig. S1, A-F).. However, when analyzing mother cell-specific expression of the HO endonuclease in cells expressing a globular tail-lacking Myo4p fragment, we found that this process is impaired (Fig. 2, A and B). The subsequent analysis of ASH1 mRNA localization by in situ hybridization and of Myo4p localization by immunofluorescence staining consistently showed that the globular tail is required for full ...
Protein domain superfamilies in CATH-Gene3D have been subclassified into functional families (or FunFams), which are groups of protein sequences and structures with a high probability of sharing the same function(s). Therefore, the functionally important residues in a family are also expected to be highly conserved.. Information on conserved positions in CATH-Gene3D FunFam alignments is shown through the Alignment tab of the FunFam webpages. Conservation scores have been calculated using Scorecons and columns in the alignment are coloured using a rainbow colour scheme, where the highly conserved residues are shown in red through to positions that are not conserved at all, shown in blue. The conservation scores are also mapped onto a representative protein domain structure.. To investigate putative conserved sites for your protein sequence, run a sequence search against the FunFams and click on the FunFam match Alignment page.. ...
Figure 1. Schematic Representations of the Structure of a CESA Protein and a CSC.. (A) Domain structure of a CESA. The intracellular N-terminal domain contains a Zn binding domain and a variable region and is followed by two transmembrane domains. The large cytoplasmic central catalytic domain is divided into the conserved region, which flanks the plant-specific region on both sides, the variable region(s), which includes the class-specific region, and the conserved region(s). The six subsequent transmembrane domains are followed by the cytoplasmic C-terminal domain. CESA1 phosphorylations on various Ser and Thr residues are indicated (source: PhosPhAt 4.0, Zulawski et al., 2013; and references in the text). Several cysteines in the cytoplasmic loop and within the C-terminal domain that are s-acylated in CESA7 (Kumar 2016b) are depicted in pink.

The process by which fibronectin (FN), a soluble multidomain protein found in tissue fluids, forms insoluble fibrillar networks in the extracellular matrix is poorly understood. Cryptic sites found in FN type III domains have been hypothesized to function as nucleation points, thereby initiating fibrillogenesis. Exposure of these sites could occur upon tension-mediated mechanical rearrangement of type III domains. Here, we present the solution structures of the second type III domain of human FN ((2)FNIII), and that of an interaction complex between the first two type III domains ((1-2)FNIII). The two domains are connected through a long linker, flexible in solution. A weak but specific interdomain interaction maintains (1-2)FNIII in a closed conformation that associates weakly with the FN N-terminal 30 kDa fragment (FN30 kDa). Disruption of the interdomain interaction by amino-acid substitutions dramatically enhances association with FN30 kDa. Truncation analysis of (1-2)FNIII reveals that the
Cancer arises when genetic mutations in a cell cause abnormal growth that leads to a tumour.. Some cancer drugs exploit this to attack tumour cells by targeting proteins that are mutated from their usual form because of mutations in the genes that encode them.. However, only a fraction of all the mutations that contribute significantly to cancer have been identified.. Thomas Peterson, at the University of Maryland, and colleagues developed a new statistical analysis approach that uses genetic data from cancer patients to find cancer-causing mutations.. Unlike previous studies that focused on mutations in individual genes, the new approach addresses similar mutations shared by families of related proteins.. Specifically, the new method focuses on mutations in sub-components of proteins known as protein domains.. Even though different genes encode them, different proteins can share common protein domains.. The new strategy draws on existing knowledge of protein domain structure and function to ...
The M2 protein of the influenza A virus is a homotetrameric transmembrane proton channel implicated in several stages of the viral replication process. Each of its 97-residue monomers is known to include a transmembrane α-helix. but the structures of the N- and C-terminal domains have not yet been solved. A significant barrier to an atomic level understanding of the M2 protein is the difficulty associated with expression and purification of the full-length protein, which has primarily been studied in the form of truncated constructs covering the amphipathic helix and a short C-terminal segment. This C-terminal segment, which includes residues 46-62, has been shown for a truncated version of the protein to consist of an amphipathic helix lying on the membrane surface. Here, we present SDSL-EPR structural studies using full-length M2 constructs to examine sites 50-54 in the proposed amphipathic helix region of M2. Using power saturation data for the protein reconstituted into vesicles and CW ...
p,Domains are fundamental subunits of proteins, and while they play major roles in facilitating protein-DNA, protein-RNA and other protein-ligand interactions, a systematic assessment of their various interaction modes is still lacking. A comprehensive resource identifying positions within domains that tend to interact with nucleic acids, small molecules and other ligands would expand our knowledge of domain functionality as well as aid in detecting ligand-binding sites within structurally uncharacterized proteins. Here, we introduce an approach to identify per-domain-position interaction frequencies by aggregating protein co-complex structures by domain and ascertaining how often residues mapping to each domain position interact with ligands. We perform this domain-based analysis on ∼91000 co-complex structures, and infer positions involved in binding DNA, RNA, peptides, ions or small molecules across 4128 domains, which we refer to collectively as the InteracDome. Cross-validation testing ...

Autotransporter of N-terminal protease passenger domain that cleaves surface-localized virulence factors. The 3-d structure is known (Oomen et al., 2004). The crystal structure of the NalP translocator domain revealed a 12 β-stranded transmembrane beta-barrel containing a central alpha-helix. The transmembrane beta-barrel is stable even in the absence of the alpha-helix. Removal of the helix results in an influx of water into the pore region, suggesting the helix acts as a plug (Khalid and Sansom 2006). The dimensions of the pore fluctuate, but the NalP monomer is sufficient for the transport of the passenger domain in an unfolded or extended conformation (Khalid and Sansom 2006). NalP is subject to phase variation (Oldfield et al. 2013). ...
