Evolution of membrane bioenergetics
By combining structural and phylogenetic analyses, we have earlier clarified the evolutionary relationships among membrane enzymes that couple the transmembrane transfer of protons or sodium ions with the synthesis/hydroly-sis of ATP. A comparison of the structures of the sodium-dependent bacterial and archaeal ATPases revealed nearly identical sets of amino acids involved in sodium binding. Ph...
متن کاملLocalized proton microcircuits at the biological membrane-water interface.
Cellular processes such as nerve conduction, energy metabolism, and import of nutrients into cells all depend on transport of ions across biological membranes through specialized membrane-spanning proteins. Understanding these processes at a molecular level requires mechanistic insights into the interaction between these proteins and the membrane itself. To explore the role of the membrane in i...
متن کاملThe Origin of Membrane Bioenergetics
Harnessing energy as ion gradients across membranes is as universal as the genetic code. We leverage new insights into anaerobe metabolism to propose geochemical origins that account for the ubiquity of chemiosmotic coupling, and Na(+)/H(+) transporters in particular. Natural proton gradients acting across thin FeS walls within alkaline hydrothermal vents could drive carbon assimilation, leadin...

متن کاملToward Better Genetically Encoded Sensors of Membrane Potential.
Genetically encoded optical sensors of cell activity are powerful tools that can be targeted to specific cell types. This is especially important in neuroscience because individual brain regions can include a multitude of different cell types. Optical imaging allows for simultaneous recording from numerous neurons or brain regions. Optical signals of membrane potential are useful because membra...
