Nucleotide binding domains (NBDs) secure ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter function. Distinct from traditional ABC transporters, ABCC9-encoded sulfonylurea receptors (SUR2A) form, with Kir6.2 potassium channels, ATP-sensitive K⁺ ...

Guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), beta 2 (GNB2), also known as A0070, is a subunit of the heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins).

Guanine nucleotide binding protein, beta 4 (GNB4), also known as A0072, is a member of the heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins), which act as a modulator or transducer in various transmembrane signaling systems and relay ...

The recently characterized corticosteroid receptor on amphibian neuronal membranes appears to mediate rapid, stress-induced changes in male reproductive behaviors. Because the transduction mechanisms associated with this receptor are unknown, we performed radioligand binding studies to determine whether this steroid receptor is negatively modulated by guanyl ...

ClpB is a hexameric chaperone that solubilizes and reactivates protein aggregates in cooperation with the Hsp70/DnaK chaperone system. Each of the identical protein monomers contains two nucleotide binding domains (NBD), whose ATPase activity must be coupled to exert on the substrate the mechanical work required for its reactivation. However, how ...

The effects of nucleotides on the binding of the ATP-dependent K{sup +}-channel antagonist ({sup 3}H)glyburide (GLB) to rat cortex membranes were examined. Nucleotide triphosphates (NTPs) and nucleotide diphosphate (NDPs) inhibited the binding of GLB. This effect was dependent on the presence ...

ATP binding to the large tumor (T) antigen encoded by the simian virus 40 (SV40) genome plays an essential role in the replication of viral DNA [Fanning, E., and Knippers, R. (1992) Annu. Rev. Biochem. 61, 55-85]. To better explore the functions of T antigen during the replication process, we have studied the interactions of T antigen with fluorescent ...

When phosphorylated, the dimeric form of nitrogen regulatory protein C (NtrC) of Salmonella typhimurium forms a larger oligomer(s) that can hydrolyze ATP and hence activate transcription by the ?⁵⁴-holoenzyme form of RNA polymerase. Studies of Mg-nucleoside triphosphate binding using a filter-binding assay indicated that ...

MgATP binding and hydrolysis are central to all reduction reactions catalyzed by nitrogenase. The iron (Fe) protein component of nitrogenase is a homodimeric protein with a bridging [4Fe-4S] cluster and two nucleotide binding sites, one on each subunit. This work presents evidence that the [4Fe-4S] cluster domain of the nitrogenase Fe ...

The human caudate and putamen contain two high affinity binding sites for (/sup 3/H)spiroperidol. Both of these affinity states exhibit dopaminergic selectivity. Ascorbic acid, at 0.1 mM, induces a slow loss of the low affinity component of (/sup 3/H)spiroperidol binding in these tissues. The addition of guanyl nucleotides to the ...

Insulin receptors in turkey erythrocyte and rat adipocyte plasma membranes display non-linear hormone binding by Scatchard analysis. This result is consistent with evidence that the insulin-binding sites are heterogeneous and have at least two affinities for the hormone. Mild reduction of plasma membranes with dithiothreitol, before insulin ...

The possible interaction of progesterone--receptor complexes with nucleotides was tested by affinity chromatography. The cytosol progesterone receptor from hen oviduct was partially purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation before use. When progesterone was bound to the receptor, the resulting complex could be selectively adsorbed onto columns of ATP-Sepharose. This ...

nucleotide was T in all cases for the "not base-paired" experiment. The DNA nucleotide was the Watson-Crick was synthesized with DNA binding arms that are the Watson-Crick complement of these RNA sequences, with the 39-nt of the nature of Watson-Crick complementarity, the disruptors are inherently complementary to the deoxyribozyme

Some general methods of covalent coupling of nucleotides, especially derivatized nucleotides, polynucleotides and cofactors to insoluble polymers are described in this paper. Wherever necessary individual methods also carry some information on the binding of enzymes to the same polymers to serve as a guide to the efficiency of the ...

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer was used to measure the distances between three nucleotide binding sites on solubilized chloroplast coupling factor from spinach and between each nucleotide site and two tyrosine residues which are important for catalytic activity. The nucleotide energy donor was 1,N/sup ...

Rab GTPases function as essential regulators of vesicle transport in eukaryotic cells. MSS4 was shown to stimulate nucleotide exchange on Rab proteins associated with the exocytic pathway and to have nucleotide-free-Rab chaperone activity. A detailed kinetic analysis of MSS4 interaction with Rab8 showed that MSS4 is a relatively slow exchange factor that ...

Nucleotide bases are recognized by amino acid residues in a variety of DNA/RNA binding and nucleotide binding proteins. In this study, a total of 446 crystal structures of nucleotide-protein complexes are analyzed manually and pseudo pairs together with single and bifurcated hydrogen bonds ...

The molecular sizes of the units concerned in 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate (QNB) binding and in the effects of guanine nucleotide and sulfhydryl reagent on the inhibition of QNB binding by carbachol in smooth muscle of guinea pig ileum were determined to be 76,000, 179,000 and 107,000, respectively by the radiation inactivation method. ...

Two adenine nucleotide binding sites of chloroplast coupling factor 1 (CF1) were shown previously to switch their properties after exposure of the enzyme to Mg2+-ATP or Ca2+-ATP (Shapiro, A.B., and McCarty, R.E. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 14160-14165). Th...

The muscarinic receptor-binding properties of a series of muscarinic drugs were compared with their effects on adenylate cyclase in membranes of the rabbit myocardium. When measured by competitive inhibition of (TH)-N-methylscopolamine binding, the competition curves of the various agonists were adequately described by the ternary complex model. This model ...

I. To investigate the delivery of nucleotide-based drugs, we are studying molecular recognition of nucleotide derivatives in environments that are similar to cell membranes.
