Crystal Structure of D. Discoideum Actin-Gelsolin Segment 1 Complex Crystallized In Presence Of Lithium ATP
Contents |
Overview
The structures of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Dictyostelium, and, Caenorhabditis elegans actin bound to gelsolin segment-1 have been solved, and refined at resolutions between 1.9 and 1.75 A. These structures reveal, several features relevant to the ATP hydrolytic mechanism, including, identification of the nucleophilic water and the roles of Gln-137 and, His-161 in positioning and activating the catalytic water, respectively., The involvement of these residues in the catalytic mechanism is consistent, with yeast genetics studies. This work highlights both structural and, mechanistic similarities with the small and trimeric G proteins and, restricts the types of mechanisms responsible for the considerable, enhancement of ATP hydrolysis associated with actin polymerization. The, conservation of functionalities involved in nucleotide binding and, catalysis also provide insights into the mechanistic features of members, of the family of actin-related proteins.
Disease
