Interaction between external medium and haem pocket in myoglobin probed by low-temperature optical spectroscopy.

Abstract:

:The visible absorption spectra of carbonmonoxymyoglobin in the temperature range 300 to 20 K are reported and compared with the analogous spectra of carbonomonoxyhaemoglobin. The temperature dependence of the zeroth, first and second moment of the observed bands is analysed to obtain information on the local dynamics in the proximity of the haem. Contrary to haemoglobin, the first moment of the observed bands in myoglobin is markedly affected by the solvent composition and its value saturates at temperatures at which the solvent undergoes the glass transition. These data indicate that solvent properties influence the haem pocket stereodynamics in myoglobin; moreover, the different behaviour between myoglobin and haemoglobin suggests that the process should involve the surfaces that are buried in the haemoglobin tetramer and exposed to the solvent in myoglobin, and/or the different protein compressibility.

  • Crystal structure of human ribosomal protein L10 core domain reveals eukaryote-specific motifs in addition to the conserved fold.

    abstract::A phylogenetically conserved ribosomal protein L16p/L10e organizes the architecture of the aminoacyl tRNA binding site on the large ribosomal subunit. Eukaryotic L10 also exhibits a variety of cellular activities, and, in particular, human L10 is known as a putative tumor suppressor, QM. We have determined the 2.5-A c...
