| - | <scene name='90/904311/ | + | ==Function== |
| - | + | NF1 is a GTPase-activation protein that binds to RAS to increase the hydrolysis of GTP to GDP. This inactivates the cell signaling of Ras until another GTP can replace the GDP from the cytosol. NF1 and Ras binding is possible in only the <scene name='90/904311/Open_conformation/1'>open conformation</scene> of NF1. The mechanism is shown in figure 1 and displays the slow hydrolysis of GTP bound to Ras and the fast hydrolysis of GTP when bound to NF1. | |
| - | <scene name='90/904311/ | + | ==Structure== |
| - | + | NF1 is a protein dimer that exists in a <scene name='90/904311/Closed_conformation/1'>closed</scene> and <scene name='90/904311/Open_conformation/1'>open</scene> conformation. Each protomer contains a GRD, Sec14-PH, and a Gpex domain located on a HEAT N-C arm. Ras binds to the GRD site with Arg1276 being the critical residue for binding. | |
| - | <scene name='90/904311/ | + | ===Closed conformation=== |
| - | + | In the <scene name='90/904311/Closed_conformation/1'>closed conformation</scene>, one protomer has its domains shifted due to a 130 degree rotation. That rotation places <scene name='90/904312/Closed_arg/1'>Arg1276 in closed conformation</scene> in an orientation that <scene name='90/904312/Closed_zoom/1'>sterical hinders the binding between Ras and Arg1276</scene> in the GRD site (Figure 3). Making <scene name='90/904312/Closed_with_ras/1'>Ras binding in closed conformation</scene> sterically impossible in the <scene name='90/904311/Closed_conformation/1'>closed conformation</scene> | |
| - | <scene name='90/904312/ | + | . The <scene name='90/904311/Closed_conformation/1'>closed conformation</scene> can exist naturally without any form of stabilization but will also fall back to the <scene name='90/904311/Open_conformation/1'>open conformation</scene>. |
| - | <scene name='90/904312/ | + | ====Zinc Stabilized==== |
| - | + | The <scene name='90/904311/Closed_conformation/1'>closed conformation</scene> of NF1 can be stabilized by a zinc ion to prevent the shift back to an <scene name='90/904311/Open_conformation/1'>open conformation</scene>. This binding is done between C1032, H1558, and H1576 within the N-HEAT domain, GRD-Sec14-PH linker L2 and is shown in figure 2. When zinc stabilizes, NF1 will stay in the <scene name='90/904311/Closed_conformation/1'>closed conformation</scene> and continue to inhibit the binding of RAS. | |
| - | <scene name='90/904312/Closed_with_ras/1'> | + | ===Open conformation=== |
| - | + | In the <scene name='90/904311/Open_conformation/1'>open conformation</scene> one protomer is shifted due to a 90 rotation. This rotation allows for binding between RAS and the <scene name='90/904312/Arg_1276_open/10'>Arg1276</scene> | |
| - | <scene name='90/ | + | in the GRD site while in the <scene name='90/904311/Open_conformation/1'>open conformation</scene>. This means that the <scene name='90/904312/Arg_1276_open/11'>Arg1276 interaction with Ras in the open conformation</scene> can occur without any steric hindrance as shown in the <scene name='90/904311/Closed_conformation/1'>closed conformation</scene>. |
