Specific protein-lipid interactions in membrane proteins.
Many membrane proteins selectively bind defined lipid species. This specificity has an impact on correct insertion, folding, structural integrity and full functionality of the protein. How are these different tasks achieved? Recent advances in structural research of membrane proteins provide new information about specific protein-lipid interactions. Tightly bound lipids in membrane protein stru...
متن کاملProtein-lipid interactions in the photosynthetic membrane.
In each case the complexes were suspended in 20rn~-Tris/HCl (pH 8.0)/0.1% LDAO (v/v). The circles indicate where the recording spectrophotometer stopped and the spectra were continued point by point in another machine. (a) Complexes from strain 7750 grown at 2000k: 0, type 1 B800-850; 0, RC-B880. (b) Complexes from strain 7050 grown at 4001~: 0, type 2 B800-850; this spectrum was raised to make...
متن کاملA bacterial two-hybrid selection system for studying protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions.
We have developed a bacterial "two-hybrid" system that readily allows selection from libraries larger than 10(8) in size. Our bacterial system may be used to study either protein-DNA or protein-protein interactions, and it offers a number of potentially significant advantages over existing yeast-based one-hybrid and two-hybrid methods. We tested our system by selecting zinc finger variants (fro...
متن کاملIncorporation of outer membrane protein OmpG in lipid membranes: protein-lipid interactions and beta-barrel orientation.
OmpG is an intermediate size, monomeric, outer membrane protein from Escherichia coli, with n beta = 14 beta-strands. It has a large pore that is amenable to modification by protein engineering. The stoichiometry ( N b = 20) and selectivity ( K r = 0.7-1.2) of lipid-protein interaction with OmpG incorporated in dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayer membranes was determined with various 14-pos...
متن کاملHydrophobic membrane thickness and lipid-protein interactions of the leucine transport system of Lactococcus lactis.
The effect of the phospholipid acyl chain carbon number on the activity of the branched-chain amino acid transport system of Lactococcus lactis has been investigated. Major fatty acids identified in a total lipid extract of L. lactis membranes are palmitic acid (16:0), oleic acid (18:1) and the cyclopropane-ring containing lactobacillic acid (19 delta). L. lactis membrane vesicles were fused wi...
