From emartz at microbio.umass.edu Tue May 25 20:03:20 2021 From: emartz at microbio.umass.edu (Eric Martz) Date: Tue, 25 May 2021 20:03:20 -0400 Subject: [Proteopedia] New kind of inter-chain bond involved in redox allostery Message-ID: <09680462-68c9-0a2e-6895-ead90faadfda@microbio.umass.edu> Earlier this month, a new kind of covalent linkage between the sidechains of Lys and Cys was reported in Nature, a Nitrogen-Oxygen-Sulfur (NOS) bond. In the initial case of the transaldolases studied, it serves as an allosteric redox switch for enzymatic activity. NOS appears likely to occur in proteins in all domains of life including /Homo sapiens/, apparently overlooked in earlier interpretations of electron density maps. Have a look at this new page: https://proteopedia.org/w/Lysine-cysteine_NOS_bonds -Eric P.S.

Changing the subject to isopeptide bonds https://proteopedia.org/w/Isopeptide_bond I would like to know if the entire PDB has been scanned for those. I have an inquiry pending with the wwPDB about whether they offer a method to search for them, but have no reply yet. I will post an inquiry on the PDB email list. If this hasn't been done, Amr, perhaps you can do it? I will be in touch. A forthcoming version of FirstGlance in Jmol (http://firstglance.jmol.org), still in preparation, will offer an alert when an isopeptide or NOS bond is present, and offer to zoom in to show details. -Eric On 5/26/21 5:03 AM, Amr ALHOSSARY wrote: > Good idea. > I had searched the PDB for occurrence of cation-pi interaction on both sides of aromatic rings, during my MSc. > I believe I still have that code.
