Research Abstract |
Concerning signal transduction and intracellular vesicular traffic, multi-domain proteins comprised of several functional domains act a central role in the biological functions. In this work, to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the hierarchical regulation involving multi-domain proteins, domain rearrangement of multi-domain proteins initiated by stimulating each domain, and intermolecular and intermolecular regulation associated with the domain rearrangement were examined by using x-ray scattering and dynamic light scattering. In the results, the multi-domain proteins of GGA involved in vesicular traffic and Ppr in a two component regulatory system exhibit intermolecular dissociation and association of their domains during their function expression, and the domain rearrangements are expected to regulate molecular events of protein ensembles involving the multi-domain proteins.
