Solution structure ensemble of human obesity-associated protein FTO reveals druggable surface pockets at the interface between the N- and C-terminal domain

Balabhadra Khatiwada et al.

Summary: This study investigates the structure and dynamics of human FTO protein in solution and reveals the instability of the catalytic N-terminal domain without the C-terminal domain. The study also demonstrates the conformational dynamics of the interface between FTO structural domains, active site, and peripheral loops. A conformational ensemble for apo FTO is generated, providing a potential target for the design of allosteric inhibitors.

The accuracy of protein structures in solution determined by AlphaFold and NMR

Nicholas J. Fowler et al.

Summary: In the recent CASP competition, AlphaFold2 performed exceptionally well in structure prediction. When compared to nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) structures, AlphaFold2 was generally more accurate, although NMR ensembles outperformed AlphaFold2 in some cases, particularly for dynamic structures. Therefore, it is suggested that AlphaFold could be used for refining NMR structures, and ANSURR-validated AlphaFold structures may not require further refinement.

Improved AlphaFold modeling with implicit experimental information

Thomas C. Terwilliger et al.

Summary: This paper presents an iterative procedure where AlphaFold models are automatically rebuilt based on experimental density maps and the rebuilt models are used as templates in new AlphaFold predictions. Including experimental information improves prediction beyond the improvement obtained with simple rebuilding guided by the experimental data.

Concordance of X-ray and AlphaFold2 Models of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease with Residual Dipolar Couplings Measured in Solution

Angus J. Robertson et al.

Summary: The models generated by the AlphaFold2 structure prediction program show close agreement with experimental RDC data for the majority of the protein structure, outperforming most high-resolution X-ray structures. However, residues from domain 2, comprising elements of the active site and dimerization interface, fit less well across all structures. This suggests novel opportunities for combining experimentation with molecular dynamics simulations using precise solution RDC data as input.

OpenAWSEM with Open3SPN2: A fast, flexible, and accessible framework for large-scale coarse-grained biomolecular simulations

Wei Lu et al.

Summary: This paper presents two new implementations of efficient and accurate coarse-grained protein and DNA simulation forcefields, OpenAWSEM and Open3SPN2, which can now run hundreds of times faster than before, facilitating studies of large biomolecular machines. These implementations are showcased to achieve around a 30-fold speedup in protein and protein-DNA simulations over existing implementations, allowing for more accurate modeling of protein folding, structure prediction, and protein-DNA binding. The simulation tool provided in this paper aims to bridge the gap between molecular simulations and cellular studies by offering a user-friendly and efficient platform for simulating large cellular processes.

Structure elucidation of the elusive Enzyme I monomer reveals the molecular mechanisms linking oligomerization and enzymatic activity

Trang T. Nguyen et al.

Summary: Enzyme I (EI) is a phosphotransferase enzyme responsible for converting phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) into pyruvate in the bacterial phosphotransferase (PTS) transduction pathway. By mutating the dimerization domain of EI (EIC) and applying hydrostatic pressure to study the dissociation process, researchers were able to characterize the monomeric state of EI at atomic level. The study reveals the role of catalytic loops as allosteric connectors controlling both the activity and oligomerization of the enzyme.
