Popis: | Cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) plays a key role in the regulation of more than 150 genes. CRP is allosterically activated by cyclic AMP and binds to specific DNA sites. A structural understanding of this allosteric conformational change, which is essential for its function, is still lacking because the structure of apo-CRP has not been solved. Therefore, we performed various NMR experiments to obtain apo-CRP structural data. The secondary structure of apo-CRP was determined by analyses of the NOE connectivities, the amide proton exchange rates, and the (1)H-(15)N steady-state NOE values. A combination of the CSI-method and TALOS prediction was also used to supplement the determination of the secondary structure of apo-CRP. This secondary structure of apo-CRP was compared with the known structure of cyclic AMP-bound CRP. The results suggest that the allosteric conformational change of CRP caused by cyclic AMP binding involves subunit realignment and domain rearrangement, resulting in the exposure of helix F onto the surface of the protein. Additionally, the results of the one-dimensional [(13)C]carbonyl NMR experiments show that the conformational change of CRP caused by the binding of cyclic GMP, an analogue of cyclic AMP, is different from that caused by cyclic AMP binding. |
