... paper summarizes evidence for two modes of regulation of activity: first, by redox-induced conformational changes involving the K-proton uptake path; and secondly, by ligand binding to a conserved site immediately adjacent to the entrance of the K-path that leads to the active site. Both these phenomena...

... domain of PKCγ, inducing conformational changes that release PKCγ from its scaffold, leading to its translocation to the plasma membrane and subsequent DAG-independent activation [ 26 , 27 ]. PKCδ is phosphorylated at multiple tyrosine residues by Src family kinases in response to acute stimulation...

The present mini-review summarizes smFRET rotation experiments and previews new smFRET data on the conformational changes of the CTD (C-terminal domain) of ϵ in the E. coli enzyme. 1 Correspondence may be addressed to either author (email michael.boersch@med.uni-jena.de or duncant...

.... In addition, it has been demonstrated that a light-activated conformational change of the protein is necessary to activate catalysis. This makes POR a very important model system to study the relationship between structural changes of enzymes and functionality. 1 To whom correspondence should...

... and comprises an initial photochemical reaction, which is followed by a number of ‘dark’ steps. The latter steps in the reaction cycle have been shown to involve a series of ordered product release and substrate rebinding events and are known to require conformational changes in the protein in order to proceed...

... to this, a conformation-linked mechanism for redox-driven proton translocation is discussed. By means of electron microscopy, we show that both arms of the Escherichia coli complex I are widened after the addition of NADH but not of NADPH. NADH-induced conformational changes were also detected in solution: ATR-FTIR...

Our results suggest that the topological relationship between the central region and the GHKL domain may alter as a consequence of conformational changes induced in response...
