Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca-ATPase 2b (SERCA2b) is a ubiquitously expressed membrane protein that facilitates Ca uptake from the cytosol to the ER. SERCA2b includes a characteristic 11 transmembrane helix (TM11) followed by a luminal tail, but the structural basis of SERCA regulation by these C-terminal segments remains unclear. Here, we determined the crystal structures of SERCA2b and its C-terminal splicing variant SERCA2a, both in the E1-2Ca-adenylyl methylenediphosphonate (AMPPCP) state.

Derivatives of methylenediphosphonic acid possess wide spectra of biological activities and are used in enzymology as research tools as well as in practical medicine. Carbonyl diphosphonic acid is a promising starting building block for synthesis of functionally substituted methylenediphosphonates. Investigation of the interaction of carbonyl diphosphonic acid with hydroxylamine clearly demonstrates that it is impossible to isolate oxime within the pH range 2-12, while only cyanophosphonic and phosphoric acids are the products of the fast proceeding Beckmann-like fragmentation.

Information regarding squalene synthases (SQSs) from prokaryotes is scarce. We aimed to characterize the SQS from Methylococcus capsulatus. We studied its reaction mechanism by kinetic analysis and evaluated the structure of the substrate/inhibitor-binding sites via homology modeling.

It has been shown that PP(i), methylenediphosphonate, and ATP act as effectors of Escherichia coli inorganic pyrophosphatase (E-PPase), and that they compete for binding at the allosteric regulatory site. On the basis of chemical modification and computer modeling of a structure of the enzyme-ATP complex, a number of amino acid residues presumably involved in binding effectors has been revealed. Mutant variants Lys112Gln, Lys112Gln/Lys148Gln, and Lys112Gln/Lys115Ala of E-PPase have been obtained, as well as a modified variant of wild type E-PPase ((Ad)wt PPase) with a derivative of ATP chemically attached to the amino group of Lys146.

Fifty-four homolog (Ffh) and FtsY are the central components of the signal recognition particle secretory pathway of bacteria. In this study, the core domain and active sites of FtsY and Ffh from Streptomyces coelicolor, which are responsible for guanosine triphosphate (GTP) hydrolysis, were identified using site-directed mutagenesis. Mutations were introduced to the conserved GXXGXGK loop of the putative GTP binding site.
