Two negatively charged invariant residues influence ligand binding and conformational dynamics of 14-3-3ζ.

Abstract excerpt

14-3-3 proteins bind and modulate the activities of a wide variety of phosphoproteins. Crystal structures of 14-3-3 isoforms bound to phospholigands have identified several residues important for ligand binding. Here, we report the role of two invariant residues, D124 and E131, in peptide binding and peptide-induced conformational changes of the binding pocket. Surprisingly, the D124A mutation abrogates peptide...
