Substrate-dependent conformational dynamics of the Escherichia coli membrane insertase YidC.
Biochemistry - 19 Apr 2011
Imhof Nora, Kuhn Andreas, Gerken Uwe
Abstract excerpt
The binding of Pf3 coat protein to the membrane insertase YidC from Escherichia coli induces a conformational change in the tertiary structure of the insertase, resulting in a quenching of the intrinsic tryptophan (Trp) fluorescence. Tryptophan mutants of YidC were generated to examine such conformational movements in detail with time-resolved and steady-state fluorescence spectroscopy. Ten of the 11 Trp residues...
