Shape matters in protein mobility within membranes.
The lateral mobility of proteins within cell membranes is usually thought to be dependent on their size and modulated by local heterogeneities of the membrane. Experiments using single-particle tracking on reconstituted membranes demonstrate that protein diffusion is significantly influenced by the interplay of membrane curvature, membrane tension, and protein shape. We find that the curvature-...
متن کاملMobility in geometrically confined membranes.
Lipid and protein lateral mobility is essential for biological function. Our theoretical understanding of this mobility can be traced to the seminal work of Saffman and Delbrück, who predicted a logarithmic dependence of the protein diffusion coefficient (i) on the inverse of the size of the protein and (ii) on the "membrane size" for membranes of finite size [Saffman P, Delbrück M (1975) Proc ...
متن کاملProtein-protein interactions of cytochrome oxidase in inner mitochondrial membranes. The effect of liposome fusion on protein rotational mobility.
Rotational diffusion of cytochrome oxidase in the inner membrane of rat liver mitochondria was measured by detecting the decay of absorption anisotropy after photolysis of the heme a3.CO complex by a vertically polarized laser flash. As in previous experiments with beef heart mitochondria (Kawato, S., Sigel, E., Carafoli, E., and Cherry, R. J. (1980) J. Biol. Chem. 255, 5508-5510), co-existence...
متن کاملRotational mobility and orientational stability of a transport protein in lipid membranes.
A single-cysteine mutant of the lactose transport protein LacS(C320A/W399C) from Streptococcus thermophilus was selectively labeled with a nitroxide spin label, and its mobility in lipid membranes was studied as a function of its concentration in the membrane by saturation-transfer electron spin resonance. Bovine rhodopsin was also selectively spin-labeled and studied to aid the interpretation ...
متن کاملRhodopsin mobility, structure, and lipid-protein interaction in squid photoreceptor membranes.
Treatment of outer segment membranes from Loligo forbesi with endoprotease-V8 from Staphylococcus aureus results in cleavage of the C-terminal extension of the squid rhodopsin, with accompanying reduction of the apparent molecular weight from 47,000 to 36,000 on sodium dodecyl sulfate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Negative-stain electron microscopy of the intact membranes shows that small...
