Developments in solution NMR spectroscopy have significantly impacted the biological questions that can now be addressed by this methodology. By means of illustration, we present here a perspective focusing on studies of a number of molecular machines that are critical for cellular homeostasis. The role of NMR in elucidating the...

Human High temperature requirement A2 (HtrA2) is a mitochondrial protease chaperone that plays an important role in cellular proteostasis and in regulating cell-signaling events, with aberrant HtrA2 function leading to neurodegeneration and parkinsonian phenotypes. Structural studies of the enzyme have established a trimeric architecture, comprising three identical protomers in which... Read More

Transmembrane allosteric coupling is a feature of many critical biological signaling events. Here we test whether transmembrane allosteric coupling controls the potassium binding affinity of the prototypical potassium channel KcsA in the context of C-type inactivation. Activation of KcsA is initiated by proton binding to the pH gate upon an... Read More

The 300-kDa ClpP1P2 protease from Mycobacterium tuberculosis collaborates with the AAA+ (ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities) unfoldases, ClpC1 and ClpX, to degrade substrate proteins. Unlike in other bacteria, all of the components of the Clp system are essential for...

The 20S proteasome core particle (20S CP) plays an integral role in cellular homeostasis by degrading proteins no longer required for function. The process is, in part, controlled via gating residues localized to the ends of the heptameric barrel-like CP structure that occlude substrate entry pores, preventing unregulated degradation of...

The conversion of immature noninfectious HIV-1 particles to infectious virions is dependent upon the sequential cleavage of the precursor group-specific antigen (Gag) polyprotein by HIV-1 protease. The precise mechanism whereby protease recognizes distinct Gag cleavage sites, located in the intrinsically disordered linkers connecting the globular domains of Gag, remains...

One of the broadest definitions of allostery is in terms of long-range couplings between remote sites within a molecular system (1–4). Allosteric couplings are critical to understand the molecular basis of physiological regulatory mechanisms as well as of pathological deregulation (1–4). Allostery is also opening new opportunities in drug design... Read More

Successful treatment of chronic myelogenous leukemia is based on inhibitors binding to the ATP site of the deregulated breakpoint cluster region (Bcr)–Abelson tyrosine kinase (Abl) fusion protein. Recently, a new type of allosteric inhibitors targeting the Abl myristoyl pocket was shown in preclinical studies to overcome ATP-site inhibitor resistance arising... Read More
