Abstract

In contrast to Ca2+4-bound calmodulin (CaM), which has evolved to bind to many target sequences and thus regulate the function of a variety of enzymes, troponin C (TnC) is a bistable switch which controls contraction in striated muscles. The specific target of TnC is troponin I (TnI), the inhibitory subunit of the troponin complex on the thin filaments of muscle. To date, only the crystal structure of Ca2+2-bound TnC (i.e. in the 'off' state) had been determined, which together with the structure of Ca2+4-bound CaM formed the basis for the so-called 'HMJ' model of the conformational changes in TnC upon Ca2+ binding. NMR spectroscopic studies of Ca2+4-bound TnC (i.e. in the 'on' state) have recently been carried out, but the detailed conformational changes that take place upon switching from the off to the on state have not yet been described. We have determined the crystal structures of two forms of expressed rabbit Ca2+4-bound TnC to 2.0 A resolution. The structures show that the conformation of the N-terminal lobe (N lobe) is similar to that predicted by the HMJ model. Our results also reveal, in detail, the residues involved in binding of Ca2+ in the regulatory N lobe of the molecule. We show that the central helix, which li...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.
