Abstract
The Rho GTPase (Ras homolog GTPases) system is a crucial signal transducer that regulates various cellular processes, including cell cycle and migration, genetic transcription, and apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the unfolded state of the first FF domain (FF1) of P190A RhoGAP, which features four tandem FF domains. For signal transduction, FF1 is phosphorylated at tyrosine 308 (Y308), which is buried in the hydrophobic core and is inaccessible to kinases in the folded domain. It was proposed, therefore, that the phosphorylation occurs in a transiently populated unfolded state of FF1. To probe the folding pathway of the RhoGAP FF1 domain, here we have performed a nearly complete backbone resonance assignments of a putative partially unfolded state of FF1 in 5 M urea and its fully unfolded state in 8 M urea.
期刊介绍:
Biomolecular NMR Assignments provides a forum for publishing sequence-specific resonance assignments for proteins and nucleic acids as Assignment Notes. Chemical shifts for NMR-active nuclei in macromolecules contain detailed information on molecular conformation and properties.
Publication of resonance assignments in Biomolecular NMR Assignments ensures that these data are deposited into a public database at BioMagResBank (BMRB; http://www.bmrb.wisc.edu/), where they are available to other researchers. Coverage includes proteins and nucleic acids; Assignment Notes are processed for rapid online publication and are published in biannual online editions in June and December.
