Oxytocin-Receptor Binding:  Why Divalent Metals Are Essential

Abstract: Biologists have observed that the presence of divalent metal is essential for the binding of the hormone oxytocin (OT) to its cellular receptor. However, this interaction is not understood on the molecular level. Because conformation is a key factor controlling ligand binding in biomolecule systems, we have used ion mobility experiments and molecular modeling to probe the conformation of the oxytocin-zinc complex. Results show that Zn2+ occupies an octahedral site in the interior of the OT peptide that frees t… Show more

“…peptide bond of the neutral peptide molecule according to mass spectrometry and molecular dynamics simulation results. 21,25 In Figure 2, (Figure 2d), no observation of the y7-or b6-related fragment ions suggest that the dissociation processes originated from the Asp1 five-membered ring cleavage and the His6-containing cleavage are not activated due to the Ang II binding sites of the Ca 2+ ion. The Ang II binding sites of the Ca 2+ ion were reported to be two carboxyl groups (Asp1 and Phe8) and two peptide carbonyl oxygens (Arg2 and His6) in the NMR experiment.…”

“…Zn 2 + , for example, participates in the activation of the oxytocin receptor binding site by forming a strongly bound octahedral complex in which the metal ion is coordinated with all carbonyl oxygens, leaving the terminal amine nitrogen and side chains free for binding to the target protein. [20] Manganese, in various oxidation states, in photosystem II (PS II) is an interesting example of transition metal ions that exists as the reactive center in biological systems. Clusters of Mn 4 CaO 5 (Mn III , Mn IV and Mn V ) in the oxygen evolving centre (OEC) of PS II participate in water oxidation.…”
