Ligand binding dynamics to the heme domain of the oxygen sensor Dos from Escherichia coli

Abstract

In the heme-based oxygen sensor Dos from Escherichia coli, one of the axial ligands (Met 95) of a six-coordinate heme can be replaced by external ligands such as O(2), NO, and CO, which causes a switch in phosphodiesterase activity. To gain insight into the bidirectional switching mechanism, we have studied the interaction of ligands with the sensor domain DosH by flash photolysis experiments with femtosecond time resolution. The internal ligand can be photodissociated from the ferrous heme and recombines with time constants of 7 and 35 ps. This is somewhat slower than recombination of the external ligands NO, with which picosecond rebinding occurs with unprecedented efficiency (>99%) with a predominant phase of approximately 5 ps, and O(2) (97% in 5 ps, Liebl, U., Bouzhir-Sima, L., Négrerie, M., Martin, J.-L., and Vos, M. H. (2002) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 99, 12771-12776). Dissociated CO displays geminate rebinding in 1.5 ns with a very high yield (60%). Together these results indicate that the heme environment provides a very tight pocket for external ligands, presumably preventing frequent switching events. Additional CO dissociation and rebinding experiments on a longer time scale reveal that (a) Met 95 binding, in 10...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
