STRUCTURAL BASIS OF THE NUCLEOTIDE DRIVEN CONFORMATIONAL CHANGES IN THE AAA DOMAIN OF TRANSCRIPTION ACTIVATOR PSPF
|
OverviewOverview
Bacterial enhancer-binding proteins (EBP) activate transcription by, hydrolyzing ATP to restructure the sigma(54)-RNA polymerase-promoter, complex. We compare six high resolution structures (<2.1 A) of the AAA(+), domain of EBP phage shock protein F (PspF) including apo, AMPPNP, Mg(2+)-ATP, and ADP forms. These structures permit a description of the, atomic details underpinning the origins of the conformational changes, occurring during ATP hydrolysis. Conserved regions of PspF's AAA(+) domain, respond distinctively to nucleotide binding and hydrolysis, suggesting, functional roles during the hydrolysis cycle, which completely agree with, those derived from activities of PspF mutated at these positions. We, propose a putative atomic switch that is responsible for coupling, structural ... [(full description)]
