Large oligomeric enzymes control a myriad of cellular processes, from protein synthesis and degradation to metabolism. The 0.5 MDa large TET2 aminopeptidase, a prototypical protease important for cellular homeostasis, degrades peptides within a ca. 60 Ĺ wide tetrahedral chamber with four lateral openings. The mechanisms of substrate trafficking and processing remain debated. Here, we integrate magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, mutagenesis, co-evolution analysis and molecular dynamics simulations...

Just a Flexible Linker? The Structural and Dynamic Properties of CBP-ID4 Revealed by NMR Spectroscopy.
Biophys J. 2016 Jan 19;110(2):372-381
Authors: Piai A, Calçada EO, Tarenzi T, Grande AD, Varadi M, Tompa P, Felli IC, Pierattelli R
Abstract
Here, we present a structural and dynamic description of CBP-ID4 at atomic resolution. ID4 is the fourth intrinsically disordered linker of CREB-binding protein (CBP). In spite of the...

Functional dynamics of proteins revealed by solution NMR
Functional dynamics of proteins revealed by solution NMR
October 2012
Publication year: 2012
Source:Current Opinion in Structural Biology, Volume 22, Issue 5</br>
</br>
Solution NMR spectroscopy can analyze the dynamics of proteins on a wide range of timescales, from picoseconds to even days, in a site-specific manner, and thus its results are complementary to the detailed but largely static structural information obtained by X-ray crystallography. We review recent progresses in a variety of NMR techniques, including relaxation dispersion and paramagnetic relaxation...
