You have to make your own way, but its not far. You step out of international walk about a 100 yards or so and back into domestic. If you are flying with the same airline for both legs your hold luggage goes through automaticaly so you dont need to worry about it....

Depending on the queues at immigration when you land at international, one hour is quite tight - be prepared to put a jog on when you land! It's only a 5min walk, once you get land side, to domestic but you've then also got the queues at security to get back airside.
Fortunately, you're travelling THY so a) they'll be aware of transit passengers for your domestic leg and often hold it back when the international flight is delayed and b) if you do miss it, they'll put you on the next available flight at no charge (or put you up overnight if the last flight already left).
Here's a handy wee map of Ataturk Airport (http://www.ataturkairport.com/tr-TR/Uygulama/Documents/IST_gidisgelis_info.rar).
