ATP Synthase: Subunit Gamma Lauren Ivey
Resveratrol binds to gamma, alpha, beta • Hydrolysis and synthesis • Hydrophobic pocket between beta and gamma subunit • Gamma • Because beta most likely more highly conserved • Alpha, beta in larger scale project
Blueberry hits from grape • TAGTCCGAAACCGGATGAAGAGTGTGAAGAATATCCAGAAAATTACTAAGGCCATGAAAA • TGGTTGCAGCATCTAAGCTGCGAGCTATTCAAGTTAGGGCTGAGAATTCCCGTGGCCTAT • GGCAGCCATTTACTGCACTTCTTGG • GTTCTGTTCAATGCTGTCTTGGAGAATGCTACCAGTGAGCAAGGAGCAAGGATGTCTGCC • ATGGATAGCTCCAGCAGAAATGCTGGAGACATGCTTGACCGCCTCACGCTTACTTATAAC
Next Steps • Amino acid sequences • Bovine, grape, blueberry • Beta and alpha • Interactions with resveratrol structure • Hypothesis: No hydrophobic pocket and resveratrol does not bind to ATP synthase in blueberry and grape
Why do we care? • cardiovascular disease and neurological disorders • cardiac ischemia- • Prevents hydrolysis of ATP • apoptosis • Selective induction • Normal cells change binding sites Gledhill, J.R et al.
