Incorporation of outer membrane protein OmpG in lipid membranes: protein-lipid interactions and beta-barrel orientation.
OmpG is an intermediate size, monomeric, outer membrane protein from Escherichia coli, with n beta = 14 beta-strands. It has a large pore that is amenable to modification by protein engineering. The stoichiometry ( N b = 20) and selectivity ( K r = 0.7-1.2) of lipid-protein interaction with OmpG incorporated in dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayer membranes was determined with various 14-pos...
متن کاملMembrane Defects Accelerate Outer Membrane β-Barrel Protein Folding
Outer membrane β-barrel proteins spontaneously fold into lipid bilayers with rates of folding that are strongly influenced by the physical properties of the membrane. We show that folding is accelerated when the bilayer is at the phase transition temperature, because of the coexistence of lipid phase domains and the high degree of defects present at domain boundaries. These results are consiste...
متن کاملA Novel Mitosomal β-Barrel Outer Membrane Protein in Entamoeba
Entamoeba possesses a highly divergent mitochondrion-related organelle known as the mitosome. Here, we report the discovery of a novel protein in Entamoeba, which we name Mitosomal β-barrel Outer Membrane Protein of 30 kDa (MBOMP30). Initially identified through in silico analysis, we experimentally confirmed that MBOMP30 is indeed a β-barrel protein. Circular dichroism analysis showed MBOMP30 ...
متن کاملOuter membrane β-barrel protein folding is physically controlled by periplasmic lipid head groups and BamA.
Outer membrane β-barrel proteins (OMPs) are crucial for numerous cellular processes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Despite extensive studies on OMP biogenesis, it is unclear why OMPs require assembly machineries to fold into their native outer membranes, as they are capable of folding quickly and efficiently through an intrinsic folding pathway in vitro. By investigating the folding of several ...
متن کاملLipid dynamics and protein-lipid interactions in 2D crystals formed with the β-barrel integral membrane protein VDAC1.
We employ a combination of (13)C/(15)N magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR and (2)H NMR to study the structural and functional consequences of different membrane environments on VDAC1 and, conversely, the effect of VDAC1 on the structure of the lipid bilayer. MAS spectra reveal a well-structured VDAC1 in 2D crystals of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and diphytanoylphosphatidylcholine (DPhPC),...
