Analysis of integral membrane protein contributions to the deformability and stability of the human erythrocyte membrane.
Three major hypotheses have been proposed to explain the role of membrane-spanning proteins in establishing/maintaining membrane stability. These hypotheses ascribe the essential contribution of integral membrane proteins to (i) their ability to anchor the membrane skeleton to the lipid bilayer, (ii) their capacity to bind and stabilize membrane lipids, and (iii) their ability to influence and ...
متن کاملIntegral membrane protein biosynthesis
Understanding the details of integral membrane protein biogenesis is important for the study of any process or pathway that involves these proteins, including signaling cascades, vesicle trafficking and intercellular communication. Structural information is commonly used to predict protein function, and an important feature of the tertiary structure of an integral membrane protein is its topolo...
متن کاملConformational Stability and Pathogenic Misfolding of the Integral Membrane Protein PMP22
Despite broad biochemical relevance, our understanding of the physiochemical reactions that limit the assembly and cellular trafficking of integral membrane proteins remains superficial. In this work, we report the first experimental assessment of the relationship between the conformational stability of a eukaryotic membrane protein and the degree to which it is retained by cellular quality con...
متن کاملStatistical mechanics of integral membrane protein assembly.
During the synthesis of integral membrane proteins (IMPs), the hydrophobic amino acids of the polypeptide sequence are partitioned mostly into the membrane interior and hydrophilic amino acids mostly into the aqueous exterior. Using a many-body statistical mechanics model, we analyze the minimum free energy state of polypeptide sequences partitioned into α-helical transmembrane (TM) segments an...
متن کاملAn efficient strategy for high throughput screening of recombinant integral membrane protein expression and stability.
Membrane proteins account for about 30% of the genomes sequenced to date and play important roles in a variety of cellular functions. However, determining the three-dimensional structures of membrane proteins continues to pose a major challenge for structural biologists due to difficulties in recombinant expression and purification. We describe here a high throughput pipeline for Escherichia co...
