Monod-Wyman-Changeux model The model makes a number of simple assumptions: The protein is an oligomer (>1 polypeptide chain) The protein can exist in 2 states: Tense (T) and Relaxed (R) T-state has low affinity for oxygen (K T large) R-state has high affinity for oxygen (K R small) All the subunits of any one molecule are either in the T-state or the R-state (concerted model)

Mapping Conformational Transitions in the Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein, Class-3, 23-Nov-09 Assumes that subunits can change tertiary conformation one at a time in response to binding of substrate. Cooperativity arises because the presence of some subunits carrying substrate favours the strong binding state in adjacent subunits, whose sites are not yet filled. As substrate binding progresses almost all the sites become strong binding. Characterized by existence of molecules with some subunits in weak binding and some in strong binding state.

Mapping Conformational Transitions in the Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein, Class-3, 23-Nov-09 Evidence for cAMP-mediated structural changes in CRP 1.Free CRP binds DNA with low affinity in absence of cAMP, with high affinity and sequence specificity in the presence of cAMP 2.CRP is resistant to proteolysis, but is readily digested in the presence of micromolar concentrations of cAMP 3.DTNB induces intersubunit disulfide bond formation between Cys178s in the CRP dimer in the presence of micromolar concentrations of cAMP but not in its absence 4.Binding of ANS results in an increase in fluorescence intensity with a shift of emission maximum from 530nm to 480 nm. In the presence of micromolar concentration of cAMP, this fluorescence signal is decreased 5.Three cAMP analogs: 1.Induce structural changes and activate transcription 2.Induce structural changes but do not promote DNA binding or transcription activation 3.Bind CRP but do not induce structural changes

Summary of Overall Conformational Changes Effected by cAMP-binding 1.In absence of cAMP, the cAMP-binding and DNA-binding domains interact closely with each other, reducing mobility of the DNA-binding domain 2.The reduced mobility prevents sequence specific recognition of DNA 3.Binding of cAMP triggers reorientation of side chains (especially Arg 123) in the binding pocket of CRP 4.The cAMP-binding domain is drawn towards the C-helix closing over the bound cAMP 5.Conformational change in the cAMP-binding domain forces out the DNA-binding domain away from the C-helix 6.The DNA-binding domain remains sufficiently flexible, poised for sequence- specific DNA recognition
