IRBIT activates NBCe1-B by releasing the auto-inhibition module from the transmembrane domain.

The electrogenic Na+ /HCO3- cotransporter NBCe1-B is widely expressed in many tissues, including pancreas, submandibular gland, brain, heart, etc. NBCe1-B has very low activity under basal condition due to auto-inhibition, but can be fully activated by protein interaction with the IP3R-binding protein released with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IRBIT). The structural components of the auto-inhibition domain and the IRBIT-binding domain of NBCe1-B are finely characterized based on systematic mutations in the present study and data from previous studies. Reducing negative charges on the cytosol side of the transmembrane domain greatly decreases the magnitude of the auto-inhibition of NBCe1-B. We propose that the auto-inhibition domain functions as a brake module that inactivates NBCe1-B by binding to, via electrostatic attraction, the transmembrane domain; IRBIT activates NBCe1-B by releasing the brake from the transmembrane domain via competitive binding to the auto-inhibition domain.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


ZENODO (tool)

RRID:SCR_004129

Repository for all research outputs from across all fields of science in any file format as well as both positive and negative results. They assign all publicly available uploads a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to make the upload easily and uniquely citeable. They further support harvesting of all content via the OAI-PMH protocol. They promote peer-reviewed openly accessible research, and curate uploads. ZENODO allows users to create their own collection and accept or reject all uploads to it. They allow for uploading under a multitude of different licenses and access levels.

MolProbity (tool)

RRID:SCR_014226

A structure-validation web application which provides an expert-system consultation about the accuracy of a macromolecular structure model, diagnosing local problems and enabling their correction. MolProbity works best as an active validation tool (used as soon as a model is available and during each rebuild/refine loop) and when used for protein and RNA crystal structures, but it may also work well for DNA, ligands and NMR ensembles. It produces coordinates, graphics, and numerical evaluations that integrate with either manual or automated use in systems such as PHENIX, KiNG, or Coot.

Minitab (tool)

RRID:SCR_014483

A statistical software package that allows the user to import data, create graphs, and perform statistical analysis. It can perform basic statistical tests like descriptive statistics, hypothesis tests, confidence intervals, and normality tests as well as regression and ANOVA and quality assessment.
