Molecular dynamic simulations of the N-terminal receiver domain of NtrC reveal intrinsic conformational flexibility in the inactive state.

Abstract：

:The N-terminal receiver domain of NtrC is the molecular switch in the two-component signal transduction. It is the first protein where structures of both the active (phosphyroylated) and inactive (unphosphyroylated) states are determined experimentally. Phosphorylation of the NtrC at the active site induces large structural change. NMR experiments suggested that the wild type unphosphorylated NtrC adopts both the active and the inactive conformations and the phosphorylation stabilizes the active conformations. We applied free (unconstrained) molecular dynamic (MD) simulation to examine the intrinsic flexibilities and stabilities of the NtrC receiver domain in both the active and inactive conformations. Molecular dynamic simulations showed that the inactive state of NtrC receiver domain is more flexible than the active state. There were large movements in helix 4 and loop beta3-alpha3 which coincide with major structural differences between the inactive and active states. We observed large root-mean-square deviations from the initial starting structure and the large root-mean-square fluctuations during MD simulation for the inactive state. We then investigated the activation pathway with Targeted MD simulation. We show that the intrinsic flexibility in the loop beta3-alpha3 plays an important role in triggering the conformational change. Phosphorylation at the active site may serve to stabilize the conformational change. These results together suggest that the unphosphorylated NtrC receiver domain could be involved in a conformational equilibrium between two different states.
