For many proteins phosphorylation regulates their interaction with other biomolecules. Here, we describe an unexpected phenomenon whereby within a binding interface phosphate groups transfer non-enzymatically from one interaction partner to the other upon activation in the gas-phase. Providing that a high affinity exists between the donor and acceptor sites, this phosphate transfer is very efficient and the phosphate groups only ligate to sites in proximity to the binding region. Consequently, such phosphate transfer reactions may define with high precision the binding site between a phosphoprotein and its binding partner, and in addition reveal that the binding site in this system is retained in the phase transfer from solution to the gas-phase.

Evidence from NMR interaction studies challenges the hypothesis of direct lipid transfer from L-FABP to malaria sporozoite protein UIS3
Evidence from NMR interaction studies challenges the hypothesis of direct lipid transfer from L-FABP to malaria sporozoite protein UIS3
Abstract
UIS3 is a malaria parasite protein essential for liver stage development of Plasmodium species, presumably localized to the membrane of the parasitophorous vacuole formed in infected cells. It has been recently proposed that the soluble domain of UIS3 interacts with the host liver fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP), providing the parasite with a pathway for importing exogenous lipids required for its rapid growth. This finding may suggest...
