Stress-testing the relationship between T cell receptor/peptide-MHC affinity and cross-reactivity using peptide velcro

Journal Article Gee, Marvin H. ; Sibener, Leah V. ; Birnbaum, Michael E. ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

T cell receptors (TCRs) bind to peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) with low affinity ( K _d ∼ μM), which is generally assumed to facilitate cross-reactive TCR “scanning” of ligands. To understand the relationship between TCR/pMHC affinity and cross-reactivity, we sought to engineer an additional weak interaction, termed “velcro,” between the TCR and pMHC to probe the specificities of TCRs at relatively low and high affinities. This additional interaction was generated through an eight-amino acid peptide library covalently linked to the N terminus of the MHC-bound peptide. Velcro was selected through an affinity-based isolation and was subsequently shown to enhance themore »« less

Studies of the structure and function of Mms6, a bacterial protein that promotes the formation of magnetic nanoparticles

Thesis/Dissertation Wang, Lijun

Here we report structural and functional studies of Mms6, a biomineralization protein that can promote the formation in vitro of magnetic nanoparticles with sizes and morphologies similar to the magnetites synthesized by magnetotactic bacteria. We found the binding pattern of Mms6 to ferric ion to be two-phase and multivalent. We quantatively determined that Mms6 binds one Fe ³⁺ with a very high affinity (K _d = 10 ¹⁶ M). The second phase of iron binding is multivalent and cooperative with respect to iron with a K _d in the μM range and a stoichiometry of about 20 ferric ion permore »« less

Engineering an improved light-induced dimer (iLID) for controlling the localization and activity of signaling proteins

Journal Article Guntas, Gurkan ; Hallett, Ryan A. ; Zimmerman, Seth P. ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

The discovery of light-inducible protein–protein interactions has allowed for the spatial and temporal control of a variety of biological processes. To be effective, a photodimerizer should have several characteristics: it should show a large change in binding affinity upon light stimulation, it should not cross-react with other molecules in the cell, and it should be easily used in a variety of organisms to recruit proteins of interest to each other. In this study, to create a switch that meets these criteria we have embedded the bacterial SsrA peptide in the C-terminal helix of a naturally occurring photoswitch, the light-oxygen-voltage 2more »« less

Solubilization of high affinity corticotropin-releasing factor receptors from rat brain: Characterization of an active digitonin-solubilized receptor complex

Journal Article Grigoriadis, D.E. ; Zaczek, R. ; Pearsall, D.M. ; ... - Endocrinology; (USA)

The binding characteristics of CRF receptors in rat frontal cerebral cortex membranes solubilized in 1% digitonin were determined. The binding of (125I)Tyro-ovine CRF ((125I)oCRF) to solubilized membrane proteins was dependent on incubation time, temperature, and protein concentration, was saturable and of high affinity, and was absent in boiled tissue. The solubilized receptors retained their high affinity for (125I) oCRF in the solubilized state, exhibiting a dissociation constant (KD) of approximately 200 pM, as determined by direct binding saturation isotherms. Solubilized CRF receptors maintained the rank order of potencies for various related and unrelated CRF peptides characteristic of the membrane CRFmore »« less

Molecular Dissection of the Arabidopsis 26S Proteasome

Technical Report Vierstra, Richard D.

The 26S proteasome is a 2.5-MDa, ATP-dependent protease complex responsible for degrading many important cell regulators in plants and animals, especially those targeted by ubiquitylation. Its 64 or more subunits generate two subparticles: a 20S core protease (CP) that houses the proteolytic active sites and a 19S regulatory particle (RP) that binds to both ends of the CP and recruits appropriate substrates for breakdown. Despite its importance, we had only a rudimentary appreciation of the structure and functions of the core 26S proteasome from plants, and hints that the previously defined complex actually represents the nucleus of an even moremore »« less
