NrCAM coupling to the cytoskeleton depends on multiple protein domains and partitioning into lipid rafts.
NrCAM is a cell adhesion molecule of the L1 family that is implicated in the control of axonal growth. Adhesive contacts may promote advance of the growth cone by triggering the coupling of membrane receptors with the F-actin retrograde flow. We sought to understand the mechanisms leading to clutching the F-actin at the site of ligand-mediated clustering of NrCAM. Using optical tweezers and sin...
متن کاملReparameterization of all-atom dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine lipid parameters enables simulation of fluid bilayers at zero tension.
Molecular dynamics simulations of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) lipid bilayers using the CHARMM27 force field in the tensionless isothermal-isobaric (NPT) ensemble give highly ordered, gel-like bilayers with an area per lipid of approximately 48 A(2). To obtain fluid (L(alpha)) phase properties of DPPC bilayers represented by the CHARMM energy function in this ensemble, we reparameteriz...
متن کاملA Minimalistic All-Atom Approach to Protein Folding
Using simple sequence-based potentials, the folding properties of a designed threehelix-bundle protein, an α-helix and a β-hairpin are studied. The three-helix-bundle protein is modelled using 5–6 atoms per amino acid and is found to undergo a firstorder-like folding transition at which chain collapse and helix formation cannot be separated, which is in accord with experimental data. The other ...
متن کاملProtein folding theory: from lattice to all-atom models.
This review focuses on recent advances in understanding protein folding kinetics in the context of nucleation theory. We present basic concepts such as nucleation, folding nucleus, and transition state ensemble and then discuss recent advances and challenges in theoretical understanding of several key aspects of protein folding kinetics. We cover recent topology-based approaches as well as evol...
متن کاملA hierarchical approach to all-atom protein loop prediction.
The application of all-atom force fields (and explicit or implicit solvent models) to protein homology-modeling tasks such as side-chain and loop prediction remains challenging both because of the expense of the individual energy calculations and because of the difficulty of sampling the rugged all-atom energy surface. Here we address this challenge for the problem of loop prediction through th...
