The Mlc1p protein from the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a Calmodulin-like protein, which interacts with IQ-motif peptides located at the yeast's myosin neck. In this study, we report a molecular dynamics study of the Mlc1p-IQ2 protein-peptide complex, starting with its crystal structure, and investigate its dynamics in an aqueous solution. The results are compared with those obtained by a previous study, where we followed the solution structure of the Mlc1p-IQ4 protein-peptide complex by molecular dynamics simulations. After the simulations, we performed an interaction free-energy analysis using the molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area approach. Based on the dynamics of the Mlc1p-IQ protein-peptide complexes, the structure of the light-chain-binding domain of myosin V from the yeast S. cerevisiae is discussed.
来自芽殖酵母酿酒酵母的Mlc1p蛋白是一种类钙调蛋白,它与位于酵母肌球蛋白颈部的IQ基序肽相互作用。在本研究中,我们报告了从Mlc1p-IQ2蛋白-肽复合物的晶体结构开始的分子动力学研究,并研究了其在水溶液中的动力学。将结果与之前的一项研究进行了比较,在之前的研究中,我们通过分子动力学模拟追踪了Mlc1p-IQ4蛋白-肽复合物的溶液结构。模拟之后,我们使用分子力学泊松-玻尔兹曼表面积方法进行了相互作用自由能分析。基于Mlc1p-IQ蛋白-肽复合物的动力学,讨论了来自酿酒酵母的肌球蛋白V轻链结合结构域的结构。
