What kind of interaction can threonine and asparagine form? Would this interaction be likely to form on the surface of a protein? Why or why not? What role does this interaction play in protein stability?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Threonine and asparagine are polar (hydrophillic-water loving) amino acids. They interact with one another by side-chain hydrogen bonding. This interaction in likely to form on the surface of a protein. Polar amino acids are usually found exposed on the surface of a protein since their side-chains prefer to reside in an aqueous environment.

H-bonds have been found to make a positive contribution to protein stabilization. Polar amino acids are hydrogen bonded to each other or to water molecules. Water molecules are also involved in the stabilization of the protein structure since they make hydrogen bonds with the main chain and side-chain groups.

You study a serine/threonine protein kinase, which is likely involved in the regulation of actin dynamics. You have good knowledge about the kinase (such as its kinase domain information and which residues are catalytic sites etc). You found a RhoGEF by yeast two-hybrid screening using the kinase as bait. Further, through co-immunoprecipitation assay, you confirmed that the kinase specifically interacts with the RhoGEF. Since RhoGEF is well known to regulate actin oligomerization, you expect that the protein might provide an...
