Mechanism of Bacterial Signal Transduction Revealed by Molecular Dynamics of Tsr Dimers and Trimers of Dimers in Lipid Vesicles
2012
PLoS Computational Biology
Simulations of the models in a 70 nm diameter vesicle with a biologically realistic lipid mixture reveal specific lipid interactions and oligomerisation of the trimer of dimers. ...
We present a molecular model of the entire Tsr dimer, and examine its behaviour using coarse-grained molecular dynamics and elastic network modelling. ...
Acknowledgments We thank the Oxford Computing Centre for computer time, and AA Watson, D Parton, and S Khalid for their interest and helpful comments on the manuscript.

Thermodynamic Analysis of Protein-Membrane Interactions: The case of Octameric Mitochondrial Creatine Kinase
2010
Biophysical Journal
Our hypothesis is: the failure of mitochondrial inner membrane morphology might be due to very basic and purely physical mechanism -the deterioration of mechanical (visco-elastic) properties of the lipid ...
In other words, the Amyloid-beta (1-42) could induce the lipid bilayer incapacity to support the dynamics of shape changes underlying (and inherent to) mitochondrial inner membrane normal functioning. ...
Through comparative modeling and map-constrained molecular dynamics simulations, we obtained the assembly structures of tsr organized in a two dimensional array. ...

Preformed Soluble Chemoreceptor Trimers That Mimic Cellular Assembly States and Activate CheA Autophosphorylation
2015
Biochemistry
Bacterial chemoreceptors associate with the histidine kinase CheA and coupling protein CheW to form extended membrane arrays that receive and transduce environmental signals. ...
A receptor trimers-of-dimers resides at each vertex of the hexagonal protein lattice. CheA is fully activated and regulated when it is integrated into the receptor assembly. ...

TIBS -Trends in Biochemical Sciences. Regular ed
This transmembrane signaling is being investigated by novel strategies, which have revealed a remarkably subtle conformational signal carried by a signaling helix that spans the entire length of the >350 ...
Multiple, independent lines of evidence indicate that, in the periplasmic and transmembrane domains, conformational signaling is a piston-type sliding of the signaling helix towards the cytoplasm. ...
