Notch Transmembrane Domain: Secondary Structure and Topology
The Notch signaling pathway is critical in development, neuronal maintenance, and hematopoiesis. An obligate step in the activation of this pathway is cleavage of its transmembrane (TM) domain by γ-secretase. While the soluble domains have been extensively studied, little has been done to characterize its TM and flanking juxtamembrane (JM) segments. Here, we present the results of nuclear magne...
متن کاملSimultaneous prediction of protein secondary structure and transmembrane spans.
Prediction of transmembrane spans and secondary structure from the protein sequence is generally the first step in the structural characterization of (membrane) proteins. Preference of a stretch of amino acids in a protein to form secondary structure and being placed in the membrane are correlated. Nevertheless, current methods predict either secondary structure or individual transmembrane stat...
متن کاملStructure, assembly, and topology of the G185R mutant of the fourth transmembrane domain of divalent metal transporter.
The mammalian iron transporter, divalent metal transporter (DMT1), is a 12-transmembrane domain integral protein, responsible for dietary iron uptake in the duodenum and iron acquisition from transferrin in peripheral tissues. Two disease-causing mutants in animals have been found and attributed to the same missense mutation (G185R), which occurs within the putative transmembrane domain 4 (TM4)...
متن کاملTransmembrane Topology Pattern and Detection of Transmembrane Protein Functions
Transmembrane (TM) proteins (TMPs) have important roles in the biological organisms [1, 2]. With the rapid increasing of the number of TMPs, a lot of efforts are made in attempt to classify TMP functions by sequence analysis, and in fact, some databases aimed for it have been constructed (e.g., Pfam [3]). Which characteristics of TMP could provide us important clues to its function? We suppose ...
متن کاملPredicting the transmembrane secondary structure of ligand-gated ion channels.
Recent mutational analyses of ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) have demonstrated a plausible site of anesthetic action within their transmembrane domains. Although there is a consensus that the transmembrane domain is formed from four membrane-spanning segments, the secondary structure of these segments is not known. We utilized 10 state-of-the-art bioinformatics techniques to predict the tran...
