Around 250 million people are infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) worldwide1, and 15 may also carry the satellite D (HDV), which confers even greater risk of severe liver disease2. The HBV receptor has been identified as sodium taurocholate co-transporting polypeptide (NTCP), interacts directly first 48 amino acid residues N-myristoylated N-terminal preS1 domain viral large protein3. Despite pressing need for therapeutic agents to counter HBV, structure NTCP remains unsolved. This...

The influx of genomic sequence information has led to the concept structural proteomics, determination protein structures on a genome-wide scale. Here we describe an approach proteomics small proteins using NMR spectroscopy. Over 500 from several organisms were cloned, expressed, purified, and evaluated by NMR. Although there was variability among proteomes, overall 20% these found be readily amenable structure determination. sample preparation centralized in one facility, distributive used...

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase-Akt signaling pathway is essential to many biological processes, including cell proliferation, survival, metabolism, and angiogenesis, under pathophysiological conditions. Although 3-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 (PDK1) a primary activator of Akt at the plasma membrane, optimal activation mechanism remains unclear. We report that adhesion molecule with IgG-like domain 2 (AMIGO2) novel scaffold protein regulates PDK1 membrane localization activation. Loss...

Abstract A novel light-driven chloride-pumping rhodopsin (ClR) containing an ‘NTQ motif’ in its putative ion conduction pathway has been discovered and functionally characterized a genomic analysis study of marine bacterium. Here we report the crystal structure ClR from flavobacterium Nonlabens marinus S1-08 T determined under two conditions at 2.0 1.56 Å resolutions. The structures reveal chloride-binding sites, one around protonated Schiff base other on cytoplasmic loop. We identify ‘3...

Significance Light-driven rhodopsin proteins pump ions across cell membranes. They have applications in optogenetics and can potentially be used to develop solar energy–harvesting devices. A detailed understanding of dynamics functions may therefore assist research medicine, health, clean energy. This time-resolved crystallography study carried out with X-ray free-electron lasers reveals chloride ion–pumping (ClR) within 100 ps light activation. It shows the dissociation Cl − from Schiff...

Syndecan-4, a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan, is coreceptor with integrins in cell adhesion. It has been suggested to form ternary signaling complex protein kinase Cα and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP<sub>2</sub>). Syndecans each have unique, central, variable (V) region their cytoplasmic domains, that of syndecan-4 critical its interaction C PIP<sub>2</sub>. Two oligopeptides corresponding the (4V) whole domain (4L) were synthesized for nuclear magnetic resonance...

E2-25K/Hip2 is an unusual ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme that interacts with the frameshift mutant of ubiquitin B (UBB(+1)) and has been identified as a crucial factor regulating amyloid-β neurotoxicity. To study structural basis neurotoxicity mediated by E2-25K-UBB(+1) interaction, we determined three-dimensional structures UBB(+1), E2-25K E2-25K/ubiquitin, E2-25K/UBB(+1) complex.

Two-component signal transduction systems, commonly found in prokaryotes, typically regulate cellular functions response to environmental conditions through a phosphorylation-dependent process. A new type of regulator, hp1043 (HP-RR) from Helicobacter pylori, has been recently identified. HP-RR is essential for cell growth and does not require the well known phosphorelay scheme. Unphosphorylated binds specifically its own promoter (P(1043)) autoregulates tlpB gene (P(tlpB)). We have...
