Many PPI analyses were conducted in vitro, using purified proteins. In this report, the unnatural amino acid tfmF was site-specifically incorporated into several different sites of two Phox-Beml (PB1) domains from two mitogen activated protein kinases (MEKK3 and/ or MEK5) in the E. coil cells.展开更多

However, the binding or dissociation of GPCRs with G protein is instantaneous and highly dynamic in the intracellular environment. The conformational dynamic of G protein still needs to be addressed. In this study, we applied ^(19)F solution NMR spectroscopy to monitor the conformational changes of G protein upon interact with detergent mimicking membrane and receptor. Our results show that there are two states equilibria in the G_(α)in apo states. The interaction of G_(α)with detergents will accelerate this conformational transformation and induce a state that tends to bind to GPCRs. Finally, the G_(α)proteins presented a fully activation state when they coupled to GPCRs.展开更多
