Allosteric regulation and substrate activation in cytosolic nucleotidase II from Legionella pneumophila

Srinivasan, Bharath; Forouhar, Farhad; Shukla, Arpit; Sampangi, Chethana; Kulkarni, Sonia; Abashidze, Mariam; Seetharaman, Jayaraman; Lew, Scott; Mao, Lei; Acton, Thomas B.; Xiao, Rong; Everett, John K.; Montelione, Gaetano T.; Tong, Liang; Balaram, Hemalatha (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)

Cytosolic nucleotidase II (cN-II) from Legionellapneumophila (Lp) catalyzes the hydrolysis of GMP and dGMP displaying sigmoidal curves, whereas catalysis of IMP hydrolysis displayed a biphasic curve in the initial rate ...
Connecting Active-Site Loop Conformations and Catalysis in Triosephosphate Isomerase: Insights from a Rare Variation at Residue96 in the Plasmodial Enzyme

Pareek, Vidhi; Samanta, Moumita; Joshi, Niranjan V.; Balaram, Hemalatha; Murthy, Mathur R. N.; Balaram, Padmanabhan (Wiley-V C H Verlag Gmbh, 2016)

Despite extensive research into triosephosphate isomerases (TIMs), there exists a gap in understanding of the remarkable conjunction between catalytic loop-6 (residues 166-176) movement and the conformational flip of Glu165 ...
Exquisite Modulation of the Active Site of Methanocaldococcus jannaschii Adenylosuccinate Synthetase in Forward Reaction Complexes

Karnawat, Vishakha; Mehrotra, Sonali; Balaram, Hemalatha; Puranik, Mrinalini (American Chemical Society, 2016)

In enzymes that conduct complex reactions involving several substrates and chemical transformations, the active Site must reorganize at each step to complement the transition state of that chemical step. Adenylosuccinate ...
A Histidine Aspartate Ionic Lock Gates the Iron Passage in Miniferritins from Mycobacterium smegmatis

Williams, Sunanda Margrett; Chandran, Anu V.; Vijayabaskar, Mahalingam S.; Roy, Sourav; Balaram, Hemalatha; Vishveshwara, Saraswathi; Vijayan, Mamannamana; Chatterji, Dipankar (American Society Biochemistry Molecular Biology Inc, 2014)

Background: DNA-binding protein from starved cells (Dps) are nano-compartments that can oxidize and store iron rendering protection from free radicals. Results: A histidine-aspartate ionic cluster in mycobaterial Dps2 ...
Product Release Pathways in Human and Plasmodium falciparum Phosphoribosyltransferase

Karmakar, Tarak; Roy, Sourav; Balararn, Hemalatha; Prakash, Meher K.; Balasubramanian, Sundaram (American Chemical Society, 2016)

Atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations coupled with the metadynamics technique were carried out to delineate the product (PPi.2Mg and IMP) release mechanisms from the active site of both human (Hs) and Plasmodium ...
Role of W181 in modulating kinetic properties of Plasmodium falciparum hypoxanthine guanine xanthine phosphoribosyltransferase

Roy, Sourav; Karmakar, Tarak; Nagappa, Lakshmeesha K.; Rao, Vasudeva S. Prahlada; Balasubramanian, Sundaram; Balaram, Hemalatha (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)

Hypoxanthine-guanine-xanthine phosphoribosyltransference (HGXPRT), a key enzyme in the purine salvage pathway of the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum (Pf), catalyses the conversion of hypoxanthine, guanine, and ...
Structural and dynamical correlations in PfHGXPRT oligomers: A molecular dynamics simulation study

Karmakar, Tarak; Roy, Sourav; Balaram, Hemalatha; Balasubramanian, Sundaram (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016)

PfHGXPRT is a key enzyme involved in purine nucleotide salvage pathway of the malarial parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been performed on two types of PfHGXPRT dimers (D1 and ...
Structural and kinetic studies on adenylosuccinate lyase from Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis provide new insights on the catalytic residues of the enzyme

Banerjee, Sanchari; Agrawal, Monika J.; Mishra, Diptimayee; Sharan, Siddharth; Balaram, Hemalatha; Savithri, Handanhal S.; Murthy, Mathur R. N. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2014)

Adenylosuccinate lyase (ASL), an enzyme involved in purine biosynthesis, has been recognized as a drug target against microbial infections. In the present study, ASL from Mycobacteriumsmegmatis (MsASL) and Mycobacteriumt ...
Unexpected functional implication of a stable succinimide in the structural stability of Methanocaldococcus jannaschii glutaminase

Kumar, Sanjeev; Prakash, Sunita; Gupta, Kallol; Dongre, Aparna; Balaram, Padmanabhan; Balaram, Hemalatha (Nature Publishing Group, 2016)

Protein ageing is often mediated by the formation of succinimide intermediates. These short-lived intermediates derive from asparaginyl deamidation and aspartyl dehydration and are rapidly converted into beta-aspartyl or ...
