| Popis | It is challenging to elucidate the conformational dynamics of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs) such as phosphorylation. Tau is a well-known IDP, found hyperphosphorylated in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in humans [3]. The proline-rich domain of tau directly interacts with its partner proteins such as BIN1, 14-3-3 etc. All atoms molecular dynamic (MD) simulation studies have been performed in microsecond time scale for wildtype and four phosphorylated(pT212, pT217, pT231, pS235) tau(210-240) peptide using three different temperatures (278K, 298K and 310K) and two different force field parameters (AMBER99SB-ILDN and CHARMM36m) with TIP4PD water model as combination of these parameters worked the better for IDPs found from our group previous studies [4, 2]. These four-phosphorylations cause increase in compactness of the peptide resulting bent conformation. From the experimental studies we found the binding affinity reduced by 12-folds between SH3 domain of BIN1 protein and tau(210-240). The binding of associated proteins like BIN1 with tau may alter by the strong salt bridges, forming nearby lysine and arginine due to the phosphorylation [1]. Phosphorylation induces a strong structural transition, with tau(210-240) favouring a bent conformation. Currently we are testing the coarse grain force fields. The MD simulation results were verified using NMR experimental parameters like chemical shift and 3J-coupling [1]. References: [1] A. Lasorsa, K. Bera, Idir Malki, Elian Dupre, F.-X. Cantrelle, H.
