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 کاملThe impact of membrane lipid composition on antimicrobial function of an alpha-helical peptide.
VP1, a putative alpha-helical antimicrobial peptide (alpha-AMP) inhibited growth of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli at 500microM. The peptide induced stable surface pressure changes in monolayers formed from B. subtilis native lipid extract (circa 4.5mNm(-1)) but transient pressure changes in corresponding E. coli monolayers (circa 1.0mNm(-1)), which led to monolayer disintegration. Synt...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus core protein is a dimeric alpha-helical protein exhibiting membrane protein features.
The building block of hepatitis C virus (HCV) nucleocapsid, the core protein, together with viral RNA, is composed of different domains involved in RNA binding and homo-oligomerization. The HCV core protein 1-169 (C(HCV)169) and its N-terminal region from positions 1 to 117 (C(HCV)117) were expressed in Escherichia coli and purified to homogeneity suitable for biochemical and biophysical charac...
متن کاملEfficient fold-change detection based on protein-protein interactions.
Various biological sensory systems exhibit a response to a relative change of the stimulus, often referred to as fold-change detection. In the past few years, fold-change detecting mechanisms, based on transcriptional networks, have been proposed. Here we present a fold-change detecting mechanism, based on protein-protein interactions, consisting of two interacting proteins. This mechanism does...
