abstract = {An integrated approach, combining atomistic molecular
dynamics simulations, coarse-grained models, and solution
NMR, was used to characterize the internal dynamics of
HpNikR, a Ni-dependent transcription factor. Specifically,
these methods were used to ascertain how the presence of
bound Ni2+ ions affects the stability of the known open,
cis, and trans forms observed in the crystal structures of
this protein as well as their interconversion capability.
The consensus picture emerging from all the collected data
hints at the interconversion of NikR among the three types
of conformations, regardless of the content of bound Ni2+.
On the basis of atomistic and coarse-grained simulations, we
deduce that the interconversion capability is particularly
effective between the cis and the open forms and appreciably
less so between the trans conformer and the other two forms.
The presence of the bound Ni2+ ions does, however, affect
significantly the degree of the correlations on the two
DNA-binding domains of NikR, which is significantly
suppressed as compared to the apo form. Overall, the
findings suggest that the binding of HpNikR to DNA occurs
through a sophisticated multistep process involving both a
conformational selection and an induced fit.},
