title: Annexin A5 D226K structure and dynamics: identification of a molecular switch for the large-scale conformational change of domain III.
abstract: The domain III of annexin 5 undergoes a Ca(2+)- and a pH-dependent conformational transition of large amplitude. Modeling of the transition pathway by computer simulations suggested that the interactions between D226 and T229 in the IIID-IIIE loop on the one hand and the H-bond interactions between W187 and T224 on the other hand, are important in this process [Sopkova et al. (2000) Biochemistry 39, 14065-14074]. In agreement with the modeling, we demonstrate in this work that the D226K mutation behaves as a molecular switch of the pH- and Ca(2+)-mediated conformational transition. In contrast, the hydrogen bonds between W187 and T224 seem marginal.
