Abstract

Generating stimulus-responsive, allosteric signaling de novo is a significant challenge in protein design. In natural systems like bacterial histidine kinases (HKs), signal transduction occurs when ligand binding initiates a signal that is amplified across biological membranes over long distances to induce large-scale rearrangements and phosphorylation relays. Here, we ask whether our understanding of protein design and multi-domain, intramolecular signaling has progressed sufficiently to enable engineering of a HK with tunable de novo components. We generated de novo metal-binding sensor domains and substituted them for the native sensor domain of a transmembrane HK, affording chimeras that transduce signals initiated from a de novo sensor. Signaling depended on the designed sensor’s stability and the interdomain linker’s phase and length. These results show the usefulness of de novo design to elucidate biochemical mechanisms and principles for design of new signaling systems.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
