Measuring the conformational stability of membrane proteins using the UNit
Introduction Use of extrinsic dyes to study protein unfolding Measurement of thermal stability is a valuable tool for assessing the suitability of proteins to a wide range of applications, including their use as therapeutic drugs or food additives. Indeed, researchers commonly require practical methods to rapidly screen conditions that afford the best environment for a particular protein. The U...
متن کاملGenome-wide RNAi Screen Reveals a Role for Multipass Membrane Proteins in Endosome-to-Golgi Retrieval
Endosome-to-Golgi retrieval is an essential membrane trafficking pathway required for many important physiological processes and linked to neurodegenerative disease and infection by bacterial and viral pathogens. The prototypical cargo protein for this pathway is the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptor (CIMPR), which delivers lysosomal hydrolases to endosomes. Efficient retrieval of...
متن کاملMultipass membrane protein structure prediction using Rosetta.
We describe the adaptation of the Rosetta de novo structure prediction method for prediction of helical transmembrane protein structures. The membrane environment is modeled by embedding the protein chain into a model membrane represented by parallel planes defining hydrophobic, interface, and polar membrane layers for each energy evaluation. The optimal embedding is determined by maximizing th...
متن کاملConformational thermostabilisation of integral membrane proteins and structure determination
Structural studies of mammalian membrane proteins, such as transporters and G protein-coupled receptors, are hampered by their lack of stability in detergents. This is manifested by a loss of activity during purification, often accompanied by aggregation, even when mild detergents such as dodecylmaltoside (DDM) are used. The situation is exacerbated during the final stages of purification, wher...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
