Protein Function and Structure (Architecture) a) Binding: Protein-DNA: transcription factors, eg TATA binding protein (PDB 1tgh) Protein-RNA: microRNA-target protein RNAi function Protein-small molecule: eg: Myoglobin-Heme/O2,Fe (PDB 1a6k) drug-target protein binding Protein-Protein: eg, chaperonin GroEL b) Catalysis: Enzymes Catalyzes biochemical reactions eg: DNA Polymerase catalyzes DNA replication (PDB 1pbx) HIV protease cleaves protein catalyzing the HIV replication (PDB 1a8k) c) Switching: eg: small GTPase Ras is a ‘Molecular switch’ for cell growth, GTP-bound, ‘ON’ (PDB 121p); GDP-bound, “off” (PDB 1pll) d) Structural Proteins: Silk: a stack of anti-parallel beta-sheets (PDB 1slk) within a sheet: covalent bonding and hydrogen bond, between sheets: Van der Waals force F-actin: helical assemblies of actin and actin-associated proteins muscle contraction, cytoskeleton
The Second Project • Go to www.pdb.org, • Type a protein (or a disease) name, search for the structures • b) Download the structure text file, save it as a text file with .pdb extension. • c) Input the xxx.pdb file to Pymol (download from www.pymol.org) • to see the molecular structure, notice its structural characters. • d) Read the major reference paper (from www.pubmed.org) for this protein structure and the corresponding gene, summarize the connection of the structure and the protein function. Write the molecular story for this gene.
