Mechanism of activating mutations and allosteric drug inhibition of the phosphatase SHP2

TL;DR: NMR measurements and X-ray crystallography show that wild-type SHP2 dynamically exchanges between a closed inactive conformation and an open activated form and that the oncogenic E76K mutation shifts the equilibrium to the open state, which is reversed by binding of the allosteric inhibitor SHP099.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mitochondrial TNAP controls thermogenesis by hydrolysis of phosphocreatine.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided direct evidence for the molecular basis of this futile creatine cycling activity in mice, which was based on the super-stoichiometric relationship between the amount of creatine added to mitochondria and the quantity of oxygen consumed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and unfolding of the third type III domain from human fibronectin.

TL;DR: The structure of 3FN3 is determined using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and its stability, folding, and unfolding are investigated, finding the folding rate constant in the absence of denaturant is in the same range as those of other, more stable FN3 domains.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and functional characterization of the acidic region from the RIZ tumor suppressor.

TL;DR: It is shown that AR is intrinsically disordered and that it binds the pocket domain with submicromolar affinity, and overall, the data provide clear evidence that RIZ is one of the few cellular proteins that can interact directly with the LXCXE-binding cleft on Rb.
