Distribution, lateral mobility and function of membrane proteins incorporated into giant unilamellar vesicles.
GUVs have been widely used for studies on lipid mobility, membrane dynamics and lipid domain (raft) formation, using single molecule techniques like fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Reports on membrane protein dynamics in these types of model membranes are by far less advanced due to the difficulty of incorporating proteins into GUVs in a functional state. We have used sucrose to prevent ...
متن کاملOuter Hair Cell Lateral Wall Structure Constrains the Mobility of Plasma Membrane Proteins
Nature's fastest motors are the cochlear outer hair cells (OHCs). These sensory cells use a membrane protein, Slc26a5 (prestin), to generate mechanical force at high frequencies, which is essential for explaining the exquisite hearing sensitivity of mammalian ears. Previous studies suggest that Slc26a5 continuously diffuses within the membrane, but how can a freely moving motor protein effectiv...
متن کاملLateral diffusion of membrane-spanning and glycosylphosphatidylinositol- linked proteins: toward establishing rules governing the lateral mobility of membrane proteins
In the plasma membrane of animal cells, many membrane-spanning proteins exhibit lower lateral mobilities than glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins. To determine if the GPI linkage was a major determinant of the high lateral mobility of these proteins, we measured the lateral diffusion of chimeric membrane proteins composed of normally transmembrane proteins that were converted to ...

Transport of [14C]tetraethylammonium (TEA), an organic cation, was studied in brush-border (BBMV) and basolateral (BLMV) membrane vesicles isolated from rabbit kidney cortex. In BBMV, the presence of an outwardly directed H+ gradient induced a marked stimulation of TEA uptake against its concentration gradient (overshoot phenomenon), whereas a valinomycin-induced inside-negative potential had n...
متن کاملCell wall constrains lateral diffusion of plant plasma-membrane proteins.
A cell membrane can be considered a liquid-phase plane in which lipids and proteins theoretically are free to diffuse. Numerous reports, however, describe retarded diffusion of membrane proteins in animal cells. This anomalous diffusion results from a combination of structuring factors including protein-protein interactions, cytoskeleton corralling, and lipid organization into microdomains. In ...
