    Three-dimensional structures of the ligand-binding domain of the bacterial aspartate receptor with and without a ligand (1991)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1991-12-09
    Description: The three-dimensional structure of an active, disulfide cross-linked dimer of the ligand-binding domain of the Salmonella typhimurium aspartate receptor and that of an aspartate complex have been determined by x-ray crystallographic methods at 2.4 and 2.0 angstrom (A) resolution, respectively. A single subunit is a four-alpha-helix bundle with two long amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal helices and two shorter helices that form a cylinder 20 A in diameter and more than 70 A long. The two subunits in the disulfide-bonded dimer are related by a crystallographic twofold axis in the apo structure, but by a noncrystallographic twofold axis in the aspartate complex structure. The latter structure reveals that the ligand binding site is located more than 60 A from the presumed membrane surface and is at the interface of the two subunits. Aspartate binds between two alpha helices from one subunit and one alpha helix from the other in a highly charged pocket formed by three arginines. The comparison of the apo and aspartate complex structures shows only small structural changes in the individual subunits, except for one loop region that is disordered, but the subunits appear to change orientation relative to each other. The structures of the two forms of this protein provide a step toward understanding the mechanisms of transmembrane signaling.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Milburn, M V -- Prive, G G -- Milligan, D L -- Scott, W G -- Yeh, J -- Jancarik, J -- Koshland, D E Jr -- Kim, S H -- AI 30725/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK09765/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1991 Nov 29;254(5036):1342-7.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1660187" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Three-dimensional structure of dimeric human recombinant macrophage colony-stimulating factor (1992)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1992-11-20
    Description: Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) triggers the development of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage and has a variety of stimulatory effects on mature cells of this class. The biologically active form of M-CSF is a disulfide-linked dimer that activates an intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity on the M-CSF receptor by inducing dimerization of the receptor molecules. The structure of a recombinant human M-CSF dimer, determined at 2.5 angstroms by x-ray crystallography, contains two bundles of four alpha helices laid end-to-end, with an interchain disulfide bond. Individual monomers of M-CSF show a close structural similarity to the cytokines granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and human growth hormone. Both of these cytokines are monomeric in their active form, and their specific receptors lack intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. The similarity of these structures suggests that the receptor binding determinants for all three cytokines may be similar.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pandit, J -- Bohm, A -- Jancarik, J -- Halenbeck, R -- Koths, K -- Kim, S H -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1992 Nov 20;258(5086):1358-62.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Structural Biology Division, Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1455231" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Three-dimensional structure of an oncogene protein: catalytic domain of human c-H-ras p21 (1988)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 1988-02-19
    Description: The crystal structure at 2.7 A resolution of the normal human c-H-ras oncogene protein lacking a flexible carboxyl-terminal 18 residue reveals that the protein consists of a six-stranded beta sheet, four alpha helices, and nine connecting loops. Four loops are involved in interactions with bound guanosine diphosphate: one with the phosphates, another with the ribose, and two with the guanine base. Most of the transforming proteins (in vivo and in vitro) have single amino acid substitutions at one of a few key positions in three of these four loops plus one additional loop. The biological functions of the remaining five loops and other exposed regions are at present unknown. However, one loop corresponds to the binding site for a neutralizing monoclonal antibody and another to a putative "effector region"; mutations in the latter region do not alter guanine nucleotide binding or guanosine triphosphatase activity but they do reduce the transforming activity of activated proteins. The data provide a structural basis for understanding the known biochemical properties of normal as well as activated ras oncogene proteins and indicate additional regions in the molecule that may possibly participate in other cellular functions.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉de Vos, A M -- Tong, L -- Milburn, M V -- Matias, P M -- Jancarik, J -- Noguchi, S -- Nishimura, S -- Miura, K -- Ohtsuka, E -- Kim, S H -- CA 45593/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- GM 29287/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1988 Feb 19;239(4842):888-93.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemistry, University of California, Berkely 94720.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2448879" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
