Trinucleotide repeats can form stable secondary structures that promote genomic instability. To determine how such structures are resolved, we have defined biochemical activities of the related RAD2 family nucleases, FEN1 (Flap endonuclease 1) and EXO1 (exonuclease 1), on substrates that recapitulate intermediates in DNA replication. Here, we show that, consistent with its function in lagging strand replication, human (h) FEN1 could cleave 5′-flaps bearing structures formed by CTG or CGG repeats, although less efficiently than unstructured flaps. hEXO1 did not exhibit endonuclease activity on 5′-flaps bearing structures formed by CTG or CGG repeats, although it could excise these substrates. Neither hFEN1 nor hEXO1 was affected by the stem-loops formed by CTG repeats interrupting duplex regions adjacent to 5′-flaps, but both enzymes were inhibited by G4 structures formed by CGG repeats in analogous positions. Hydroxyl radical footprinting showed that hFEN1 binding caused hypersensitivity near the flap/duplex junction, whereas hEXO1 binding caused hypersensitivity very close to the 5′-end, correlating with the predominance of hFEN1 endonucleolytic activity versus hEXO1 exonucleolytic activity on 5′-flap substrates. These results show that FEN1 and EXO1 can eliminate structures formed by trinucleotide repeats in the course of replication, relying on endonucleolytic and exonucleolytic activities, respectively. These results also suggest that unresolved G4 DNA may prevent key steps in normal post-replicative DNA processing. 相似文献

The ApbC protein has been shown previously to bind and rapidly transfer
iron-sulfur ([Fe-S]) clusters to an apoprotein (Boyd, J. M., Pierik, A. J.,
Netz, D. J., Lill, R., and Downs, D. M. (2008) Biochemistry 47,
8195–8202. This study utilized both in vivo and in
vitro assays to examine the function of variant ApbC proteins. The in
vivo assays assessed the ability of ApbC proteins to function in pathways
with low and high demand for [Fe-S] cluster proteins. Variant ApbC proteins
were purified and assayed for the ability to hydrolyze ATP, bind [Fe-S]
cluster, and transfer [Fe-S] cluster. This study details the first kinetic
analysis of ATP hydrolysis for a member of the ParA subfamily of
“deviant” Walker A proteins. Moreover, this study details the
first functional analysis of mutant variants of the ever expanding family of
ApbC/Nbp35 [Fe-S] cluster biosynthetic proteins. The results herein show that
ApbC protein needs ATPase activity and the ability to bind and rapidly
transfer [Fe-S] clusters for in vivo function.Proteins containing iron-sulfur ([Fe-S]) clusters are employed in a wide
array of metabolic functions (reviewed in Ref.
1). Research addressing the
biosynthesis of the iron-molybdenum cofactor of nitrogenase in Azotobacter
vinelandii led to the discovery of an operon
(iscAnifnifUSVcysE1) involved in the
biosynthesis of [Fe-S] clusters (reviewed in Ref.
2). Subsequent experiments led
to the finding of two more systems involved in the de novo
biosynthesis of [Fe-S] clusters, the isc and the suf systems
(3,
4). Like Escherichia
coli, the genome of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
encodes for the isc and suf [Fe-S] cluster biosynthesis
machinery.Recent studies have identified a number of additional or
non-isc/-suf-encoded proteins that are involved in bacterial
[Fe-S] cluster biosynthesis and repair. Examples include the following: CyaY,
an iron-binding protein believed to be involved in iron trafficking and iron
delivery
(5–7);
YggX, an Fe2+-binding protein that protects the cell from oxidative
stress (8,
9); ErpA, an alternate A-type
[Fe-S] cluster scaffolding protein
(10); NfuA, a proposed
intermediate [Fe-S] delivery protein
(11–13);
YtfE, a protein proposed to be involved in [Fe-S] cluster repair
(14,
15); and CsdA-CsdE, an
alternative cysteine desulferase
(16).Analysis of the metabolic network anchored to thiamine biosynthesis in
S. enterica identified lesions in three non-isc or
-suf loci that compromise Fe-S metabolism as follows: apbC,
apbE, and rseC
(17–21).
This metabolic system was subsequently used to dissect a role for
cyaY and gshA in [Fe-S] cluster metabolism
(6,
22,
23). Of these, the
apbC (mrp in E. coli) locus was identified as the
predominant site of lesions that altered thiamine synthesis by disrupting
[Fe-S] cluster metabolism (17,
18).ApbC is a member of the ParA subfamily of proteins that have a wide array
of functions, including electron transfer
(24), initiation of cell
division (25), and DNA
segregation (26,
27). Importantly, ATP
hydrolysis is required for function of all well characterized members of this
subfamily, and all members contain a “deviant” Walker A motif,
which contains two lysine residues instead of one (GKXXXGK(S/T))
(28). ApbC has been shown to
hydrolyze ATP (17).Recently, five proteins with a high degree of identity to ApbC have been
shown to be involved in [Fe-S] cluster metabolism in eukaryotes. The sequence
alignments of the central portion of these proteins and bacterial ApbC are
shown in Fig. 1. HCF101 was
demonstrated to be involved in chloroplast [Fe-S] cluster metabolism
(29,
30). The CFD1, Npb35, and
huNbp35 (formally Nubp1) proteins were demonstrated to be involved in
cytoplasmic [Fe-S] cluster metabolism
(31,
32). Ind1 was demonstrated to
be involved in the maturation of [Fe-S] clusters in the mitochondrial enzyme
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase
(33). There is currently no
report of any of these proteins hydrolyzing ATP.Open in a separate windowFIGURE 1.Protein sequence alignments of members of the ApbC/Nbp35 subfamily of
ParA family of proteins. Protein alignments were assembled using the
Clustal_W method in the Lasergene® software and show only the central
portion of the proteins, which have the highest sequence conservation. The
three boxed areas highlight the Walker A box, conserved Ser residue,
and CXXC motif. Proteins listed are as follows: ApbC (S.
enterica serovar Typhimurium LT2), CFD1 (S. cerevisiae), Nbp35
(S. cerevisiae), HCF101 (Arabidopsis thaliana), huNpb35
(formally Nubp1) (Homo sapiens), and Ind1 (Candida
albicans).Biochemical analysis of ApbC indicated that it could bind and transfer
[Fe-S] clusters to Saccharomyces cerevisiae apo-isopropylmalate
isomerase (34). Additional
genetic studies indicated that ApbC has a degree of functional redundancy with
IscU, a known [Fe-S] cluster scaffolding protein
(35,
36).In this study we investigate the correlation between the biochemical
properties of ApbC (i.e. ATPase activity, [Fe-S] cluster binding, and
[Fe-S] cluster transfer rates) and the in vivo function of this
protein. This is the first detailed kinetic analysis of ATP hydrolysis for a
member of the ParA subfamily of deviant Walker A proteins and the first
functional analysis of a member of the ever expanding family of ApbC/Nbp35
proteins. Data presented indicate that noncomplementing variants have distinct
biochemical properties that place them in three distinct classes. 相似文献

Our previous studies (Howarth, J. W., Meller, J., Solaro, R. J., Trewhella,
J., and Rosevear, P. R. (2007) J. Mol. Biol. 373, 706–722) of
the unique N-terminal region of human cardiac troponin I (hcTnI), predicted a
possible intramolecular interaction near the basic inhibitory peptide. To
explore this possibility, we generated single cysteine mutants (hcTnI-S5C and
hcTnI-I19C), which were labeled with the hetero-bifunctional cross-linker
benzophenone-4-maleimide. The labeled hcTnI was reconstituted to whole
troponin and exposed to UV light to form cross-linked proteins. Reversed-phase
high-performance liquid chromatography and SDS-PAGE indicated intra- and
intermolecular cross-linking with hcTnC and hcTnT. Moreover, using tandem mass
spectrometry and Edman sequencing, specific intramolecular sites of
interaction were determined at position Met-154 (I19C mutant) and Met-155 (S5C
mutant) of hcTnI and intermolecular interactions at positions Met-47 and
Met-80 of hcTnC in all conditions. Even though specific intermolecular
cross-linked sites did not differ, the relative abundance of cross-linking was
altered. We also measured the Ca2+-dependent ATPase rate of
reconstituted thin filament-myosin-S1 preparation regulated by either
cross-linked or non-labeled troponin. Ca2+ regulation of the ATPase
rate was lost when the Cys-5 hcTnI mutant was cross-linked in the absence of
Ca2+, but only partially inhibited with Cys-19 cross-linking in
either the presence or absence of Ca2+. This result indicates
different functional effects of cross-linking to Met-154 and Met-155, which
are located on different sides of the hcTnI switch peptide. Our data provide
novel evidence identifying interactions of the hcTnI-N terminus with specific
intra- and intermolecular sites.The human cardiac variant of troponin I
(hcTnI)2 has
structural and functional specializations that are related to its critical
role in control of cardiac dynamics. These specializations include variations
in amino acids that are significant factors in the response of the heart to:
adrenergic stimulation (1),
sarcomere length (2,
3), and pH
(4,
5). An especially significant
region of specialization is a unique N-terminal extension of 30–32 amino
acids, which contains serial serines at positions 23/24 that are substrates
for kinases that control cardiac dynamics
(6–8).
Despite its significance in control of cardiac function, molecular mechanisms
of how the N-terminal human cardiac troponin I (N-hcTnI) region controls
sarcomeric and cardiac function remain poorly understood. There is evidence
that upon phosphorylation the interaction between the N-hcTnI and the N-lobe
of N-hcTnC is weakened (9,
10). The structure of the
N-hcTnI was missing in the crystal structure of cardiac troponin
(11). However, we recently
reported (12) the structure of
the N-terminal peptide using NMR. Docking of this structure into the core
troponin structure indicated the potential for a previously unappreciated
intramolecular interactions of the N terminus with the regions at or near the
highly basic inhibitory peptide region of cardiac troponin
(12,
13). This interaction appeared
plausible not only on the basis of the structure of hcTnI, but also on the
basis of the preponderance of basic amino acids in the inhibitory peptide and
the presence of acidic residues in the N terminus.In experiments reported here, we tested the hypothesis that the unique
N-terminal region of hcTnI engages in both intra- and intermolecular
interactions. We introduced Cys residues into the N-hcTnI at positions 5 and
19 and labeled the Cys residue with the hetero-bifunctional cross-linker,
BP-MAL, which upon UV irradiation cross-links to residues within ∼10
Å of the modified Cys
(14). We analyzed the
cross-linked peptides by Edman sequencing and mass spectrometry to determine
specific sites of interaction. The intramolecular sites of interaction were
Met-154 and Met-155 in the hcTnI switch peptide for labeled positions 19 and
5, respectively. The intermolecular cross-linking sites on N-hcTnC were 47 and
80 for hcTnI labeled at either position 5 or 19. Measurement of
Ca2+-dependent ATPase rate in reconstituted preparations indicated
that allosteric effects of the different specific intramolecular cross-links
(position Met-154 versus Met-155) to different hydrophobic positions
on the switch peptide may affect hcTnC interaction with the switch
peptide. 相似文献

During the establishment of an infection, bacterial pathogens encounter oxidative stress resulting in the production of DNA lesions. Majority of these lesions are repaired by base excision repair (BER) pathway. Amongst these, abasic sites are the most frequent lesions in DNA. Class II apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonucleases play a major role in BER of damaged DNA comprising of abasic sites. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a deadly pathogen, resides in the human macrophages and is continually subjected to oxidative assaults. We have characterized for the first time two AP endonucleases namely Endonuclease IV (End) and Exonuclease III (XthA) that perform distinct functions in M.tuberculosis. We demonstrate that M.tuberculosis End is a typical AP endonuclease while XthA is predominantly a 3′→5′ exonuclease. The AP endonuclease activity of End and XthA was stimulated by Mg2+ and Ca2+ and displayed a preferential recognition for abasic site paired opposite to a cytosine residue in DNA. Moreover, End exhibited metal ion independent 3′→5′ exonuclease activity while in the case of XthA this activity was metal ion dependent. We demonstrate that End is not only a more efficient AP endonuclease than XthA but it also represents the major AP endonuclease activity in M.tuberculosis and plays a crucial role in defense against oxidative stress. 相似文献

Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that play key roles in metabolism,
energy production, and apoptosis. Coordination of these processes is essential
to maintain normal cellular functions. Here we characterized hNOA1, the human
homologue of AtNOA1 (Arabidopsis thaliana nitric oxide-associated
protein 1), a large mitochondrial GTPase. By immunofluorescence,
immunoelectron microscopy, and mitochondrial subfractionation, endogenous
hNOA1 is localized within mitochondria where it is peripherally associated
with the inner mitochondrial membrane facing the mitochondrial matrix.
Overexpression and knockdown of hNOA1 led to changes in mitochondrial shape
implying effects on mitochondrial dynamics. To identify the interaction
partners of hNOA1 and to further understand its cellular functions, we
performed immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry analysis of endogenous hNOA1
from enriched mitochondrial fractions and found that hNOA1 interacts with both
Complex I of the electron transport chain and DAP3
(death-associated protein 3), a positive
regulator of apoptosis. Knockdown of hNOA1 reduces mitochondrial O2
consumption ∼20% in a Complex I-dependent manner, supporting a functional
link between hNOA1 and Complex I. Moreover, knockdown of hNOA1 renders cells
more resistant to apoptotic stimuli such as γ-interferon and
staurosporine, supporting a role for hNOA1 in regulating apoptosis. Thus,
based on its interactions with both Complex I and DAP3, hNOA1 may play a role
in mitochondrial respiration and apoptosis.Emerging evidence indicates that mitochondrial metabolism, apoptosis, and
dynamics (fission and fusion) are closely intertwined. Apoptosis and changes
in metabolism are associated with morphological changes in mitochondria
(1,
2). Conversely, when
mitochondrial morphology is altered either by mutations or altered expression
of mitochondrial fission or fusion proteins such as the dynamin like large G
proteins Drp1 and Opa1, the cell''s susceptibility to apoptotic agents
(3) or ability to generate ATP
(4,
5) is altered.Apoptosis is controlled by a diverse range of cell signals, which may
originate either extracellularly (extrinsic inducers) or intracellularly
(intrinsic inducers), and mitochondria play central roles in both pathways
(6). The apoptotic pathways
involve a growing list of mitochondria-associated proteins, such as Bad,
cytochrome c, Smac, AIF, Bcl-2, and others, most of which are located
either on the outer mitochondrial membrane
(OMM)3 or in the
intermembrane space (IMS) (7).
Recently, proteins of the mitochondrial matrix such as DAP3, have also been
shown to be involved in apoptosis
(8). DAP3 has been reported to
be involved in both γ-interferon-
(9) and tumor necrosis
factor-α-induced (10)
apoptosis as well as staurosporine-induced mitochondrial fragmentation
(11), but the detailed
mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated.Besides their role in apoptosis, much more is known about the functions of
mitochondria in respiration and generation of ATP. The electron transport
chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) contains four major enzyme
complexes (Complexes I, II, III, and IV) that are involved in transferring
electrons from NADH (Complex I-linked) or FADH2 (Complex II-linked) to
O2 and in pumping protons out of the matrix to create an
electrochemical proton gradient, which is harnessed by ATP synthase to make
ATP (12).Despite the accumulating evidence showing intercommunication between
mitochondrial metabolism, apoptosis, and dynamics, how these processes are
coordinated remains to be elucidated. In this study we characterize hNOA1, the
human homologue of Arabidopsis thaliana nitric oxide-associated
protein, 1 (AtNOA1) (13).
hNOA1 is a large G protein closely related to dynamin that is associated with
the IMM. Perturbation of hNOA1 affects mitochondrial morphology, Complex
I-linked O2 consumption, and the cell''s susceptibility to apoptotic
stimuli, possibly through interactions with proteins such as Complex I and
DAP3. 相似文献

Nicks and flaps are intermediates in various processes of DNA metabolism, including replication and repair. Photoaffinity modification was employed in studying the interaction of the replication protein A (RPA) and flap endonuclease 1 (FEN-1) with DNA duplexes similar to structures arising during long-patch base excision repair. The proteins were also tested for effect on DNA polymerase (Pol) interaction with DNA. Using Pol, a photoreactive dTTP analog was added to the 3" end of an oligonucleotide flanking a nick or a flap in DNA intermediates. The character and intensity of protein labeling depended on the type of intermediates and on the presence of the phosphate or tetrahydrofuran at the 5" end of a nick or a flap. Photoaffinity labeling of Pol substantially (up to three times) increased in the presence of RPA or FEN-1. Various DNA substrates were used to study the effects of RPA and FEN-1 on Pol-mediated DNA synthesis with displacement of a downstream primer. In contrast to FEN-1, RPA had no effect on DNA repair synthesis by Pol during long-patch base excision repair. 相似文献

The human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a 9.5-megadalton
catalytic machine that employs three catalytic components, i.e.
pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1p), dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2p), and
dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase (E3), to carry out the oxidative
decarboxylation of pyruvate. The human PDC is organized around a 60-meric
dodecahedral core comprising the C-terminal domains of E2p and a noncatalytic
component, E3-binding protein (E3BP), which specifically tethers E3 dimers to
the PDC. A central issue concerning the PDC structure is the subunit
stoichiometry of the E2p/E3BP core; recent studies have suggested that the
core is composed of 48 copies of E2p and 12 copies of E3BP. Here, using an
in vitro reconstituted PDC, we provide densitometry, isothermal
titration calorimetry, and analytical ultracentrifugation evidence that there
are 40 copies of E2p and 20 copies of E3BP in the E2p/E3BP core.
Reconstitution with saturating concentrations of E1p and E3 demonstrated 40
copies of E1p heterotetramers and 20 copies of E3 dimers associated with the
E2p/E3BP core. To corroborate the 40/20 model of this core, the
stoichiometries of E3 and E1p binding to their respective binding domains were
reexamined. In these binding studies, the stoichiometries were found to be
1:1, supporting the 40/20 model of the core. The overall maximal stoichiometry
of this in vitro assembled PDC for E2p:E3BP:E1p:E3 is 40:20:40:20.
These findings contrast a previous report that implicated that two E3-binding
domains of E3BP bind simultaneously to a single E3 dimer (Smolle, M., Prior,
A. E., Brown, A. E., Cooper, A., Byron, O., and Lindsay, J. G. (2006) J.
Biol. Chem. 281, 19772–19780).The human pyruvate dehydrogenase complex
(PDC)3 resides in
mitochondria and catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to yield
acetyl-CoA and reducing equivalents (NADH), serving as a link between
glycolysis and the Krebs cycle
(1–3).
The PDC is a large (∼9.5 MDa) catalytic machine comprising multiple
protein components. The three catalytic components are pyruvate dehydrogenase
(E1p), dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2p), and dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase
(E3), with E3 being a common component between different α-keto acid
dehydrogenase complexes. The two regulatory enzymes in the PDC are the
isoforms of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase and pyruvate dehydrogenase
phosphatase.The PDC is organized around a structural core, which includes the
C-terminal domains of E2p and a noncatalytic component that specifically binds
E3, i.e. the E3-binding protein (E3BP). To this E2p/E3BP core,
multiple copies of the other PDC components are tethered through noncovalent
interactions. Each E2p subunit contains two consecutive N-terminal lipoic
acid-bearing domains (LBDs), termed L1 and L2, followed by the E1p-binding
domain (E1pBD) and the C-terminal inner-core/catalytic domain, with these
independent domains connected by unstructured linkers. Similarly, each E3BP
subunit consists of a single N-terminal LBD (referred to as L3), the
E3-binding domain (E3BD), and the noncatalytic inner core domain. Together,
the inner core domains of E2p and E3BP assemble to form the dodecahedral
60-meric E2p/E3BP core. The role of the E1pBD and E3BD domains is to tether
E1p and E3, respectively, to the periphery of the E2p/E3BP core. It is
presumed that the LBDs (L1, L2, and L3) shuttle between the active sites of
the three catalytic components of the PDC during the oxidative decarboxylation
cycle (4). The eukaryotic PDC
is unique among α-keto acid dehydrogenase complexes in its requirement
for E3BP; prokaryotic PDCs employ the single subunit-binding domain to secure
either E1p or E3 to the complex
(5).Using a “divide-and-conquer” approach, a wealth of structural
information on the PDC has been accumulated recently. High-resolution crystal
structures are available for the human E1p
(6–8)
and E3 components (9). A model
for the human E2p has been constructed based on an 8.8-Å electron
density map available from cryo-electron microscopy
(10). Additionally, solution
and crystal structures of the L1 and L2 domains of E2p have been determined
(11–13),
and the high-resolution crystal structures of the E3BD
(14,
15), pyruvate dehydrogenase
kinase isoforms 1–4 (12,
16–18),
and pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase isoform 1
(19) are known. Therefore,
atomic models are available for almost all components and domains of the
mammalian PDC.With the successes of the above structural approach, attention has turned
to the overall structure of the PDC. There are two outstanding questions as
follows. What are the subunit and overall catalytic component stoichiometries?
What are the positions and orientations of the components in this large
catalytic machine? Yu et al.
(10) recently determined the
cryo-EM structure of a PDC core comprising only human E2p subunits. Like yeast
E2p, human E2p adopts a dodecahedral structure composed of 60 E2p proteins;
each face of the dodecahedron has a large gap. Although this structure is
highly informative, the composition of this core deviates substantially from
that of the native PDC, because no E3BP subunits are present in the core
structure. Based on the similar structure of the dodecahedral yeast PDC, a
hypothesis was formed that, in human PDC, 12 copies of E3BP bind in the 12
gaps, which is termed the “60/12” model
(20). Biophysical studies on
complexes of E2p and E3BP later negated the 60/12 model; Hiromasa et
al. (21) therefore
posited an alternative, the “48/12” model, in which the
dodecahedral core includes 48 E2p subunits and 12 E3BP proteins. A further
source of conjecture is how many E1p and E3 components bind to the periphery
of the PDC. If one binding domain binds to one peripheral catalytic component,
a maximally occupied 60/12 PDC would harbor 60 E1p heterotetramers and 12 E3
dimers (or 48 E1ps and 12 E3s in the 48/12 model). The notion of such 1:1
binding is supported by the preponderance of available biophysical evidence.
Specifically, two crystal structures, site-directed mutagenesis, and
calorimetric measurements describe a 1:1 interaction between E3BD and E3
(14,
15). Also, although no
structures are available for the human E1p-E1pBD complex, a crystal structure
of the homologs of these proteins from Bacillus stearothermophilus
also demonstrates a 1:1 interaction between the E1pBD of E2p and the E1p
heterotetramer (22). In
addition, ITC experiments performed on the bacterial E1p and the cognate
subunit-binding domain indicate a 1:1 association
(23). At variance with the
above observations, a different subunit stoichiometry has been proposed by
Smolle et al. (24,
25). Their evidence suggests
that two binding domains bind for every peripheral component; such an
arrangement potentially yields a PDC with half as many peripheral components
bound.This study was undertaken to ascertain the subunit and component
stoichiometries of the human PDC, particularly with regard to interactions
between the E3BD and the E3 dimer. We show that quantification of bands on an
SDS-polyacrylamide gel of a PDC reconstituted at saturating E1p and E3
concentrations supports neither the 60/12 nor the 48/12 model. Instead, a
“40/20” model is proposed, and subsequent ITC and analytical
ultracentrifugation (AUC) data corroborate this new model. In addition,
results from electrophoretic mobility shift assays, ITC, and AUC presented
here uniformly show a 1:1 interaction between E3BD and the E3 dimer as well as
between E1pBD and the E1p heterotetramer. The implications of this 1:1 binding
stoichiometry for the macromolecular assembly of the PDC are discussed. 相似文献

UVI31+ is an evolutionarily conserved BolA family protein. In this study we examine the presence, localization and possible functions of this protein in the context of a unicellular alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. UVI31+ in C. reinhardtii exhibits DNA endonuclease activity and is induced upon UV stress. Further, UVI31+ that normally localizes to the cell wall and pyrenoid regions gets redistributed into punctate foci within the whole chloroplast, away from the pyrenoid, upon UV stress. The observed induction upon UV-stress as well as the endonuclease activity suggests plausible role of this protein in DNA repair. We have also observed that UV31+ is induced in C. reinhardtii grown in dark conditions, whereby the protein localization is enhanced in the pyrenoid. Biomolecular interaction between the purified pyrenoids and UVI31+ studied by NMR demonstrates the involvement of the disordered loop domain of the protein in its interaction. 相似文献
