2. M. The crystallographic analysis reveals that each subunit ol this tetrameric protein is formed by three domains linked by flexible hinges. The orientation of the domains is different in the crystallographically independent subunits. indicating that interdomam flexibility is likaly to play a role in the allosteric regulation.

Structure 1995, 3:729-741. The crystal structure of the T state E. coli pyruvate kinase and its comparison with the muscle R state protein reveal an unprecedented allosteric-activation mechanism based on the simultaneous rotation of all 11 domains forming the tetrameric enzyme.

Refinement of the GroEL structure shows that the apical domain is able to move as a rigid body adopting different orientations in the crystallographically independent subunits. This paper is also innovative from a methodological point of view because it originates from the application ol an improved crystallographic refinement technique based on torsion-angle dynamics.

An elegant electron microscopy study of the acatylcholine receptor activated by < 5 ms mixing with droplets containing acetylcholine. Activator binding on the extracellular portion of the protein induces a change in the configuration of the helices forming the channel wall in the membrane-spanning region. The activation mechanism derived from this analysis is likely to be of general validity for other ion channels.

An allosteric-transrlion intermediate captured by chemical cross-linking of Hb. A noticeable feature is the asymmetry of the structure, implying that the transition may occur through asymmetric intermediates.

The authors present a model for the allosteric pathway that is obtained by mea suring lime-resolved spectra following the pfiotodissociation of carbonronoxy Hb.

Nat Srrucr Biol 1996, 3:1 70-1 77 The complex formed between GroEL and ATPyS reveals the precise location of the substrate-binding site on the surface of the GroEL inner cavity. ATP binding does not cause large conformational changes with respect to the unligated structure, suggesting that this complex may not account lor the response of GroEL to the bound substrate.

Two papers [27,28'] show that the GroES heplamer forms a dome which binds at the top of the GroEL cylinder. The strength of the interaction is different in the ATP-bound and ADP-bound forms of GroEL. Thus, GroES exemplifies the case ol a protein acting as all oat eric effector.

The double mutant used for GroEL structure determination has altered cooperative and allosteric properties with respect to trie wild-type protein. This information is most valuable for the interpolation of Ihe crystallographic data and underscores Ihe complexity ol the intraring and interring communication features which are at the heart of GroEL function.
