Lipid fluidity and membrane protein dynamics.
Membrane fluidity plays an important role in cellular functions. Membrane proteins are mobile in the lipid fluid environment; lateral diffusion of membrane proteins is slower than expected by theory, due to both the effect of protein crowding in the membrane and to constraints from the aqueous matrix. A major aspect of diffusion is in macromolecular associations: reduction of dimensionality for...
متن کاملLipid molecular species retailoring and membrane fluidity.
on cell morphology, i.e. the formation of stomatocytes, when the native mixed-acid PC species in the monolayer are replaced by (1,2-dilinoleoyl)-PC (Fig. 1). This species has a pronounced cone shape because of a larger cross-section at the end of its hydrophobic tails. Consequently, the outer monolayer, and thereby the whole membrane, will bend inwards. Further support for the above hypothesis ...
متن کاملMembrane protein dynamics: limited lipid control
Correlation of lipid disorder with membrane protein dynamics has been studied with infrared spectroscopy, by combining data characterizing lipid phase, protein structure and, via hydrogen-deuterium (H/D) exchange, protein dynamics. The key element was a new measuring scheme, by which the combined effects of time and temperature on the H/D exchange could be separated. Cyanobacterial and plant th...
متن کاملModulating lipid dynamics and membrane fluidity to drive rapid folding of a transmembrane barrel
Lipid-protein interactions, critical for the folding, stability and function of membrane proteins, can be both of mechanical and chemical nature. Mechanical properties of lipid systems can be suitably influenced by physical factors so as to facilitate membrane protein folding. We demonstrate here that by modulating lipid dynamics transiently using heat, rapid folding of two 8-stranded transmemb...
متن کاملLipid Composition and Membrane Fluidity of Butanol-Tolerant
The effect of butanol challenge (0, 1.0, 1.5% [vol/vol]) and growth temperature (22, 37, 42°C) on the membrane composition and fluidity of Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 and a butanol-tolerant mutant, SA-2, was examined in chemically defined medium. Growth of strain ATCC 824 into the stationary phase coincided with a gradual increase in the percent saturated to percent unsaturated (SU) fat...
