Protein translocation through Tom40: kinetics of peptide release.
Mitochondrial proteins are almost exclusively imported into mitochondria from the cytosol in an unfolded or partially folded conformation. Regardless of whether they are destined for the outer or inner membrane, the intermembrane space, or the matrix, proteins begin the importation process by crossing the mitochondrial outer membrane via a specialized protein import machinery whose main compone...
متن کاملMicroscopic Kinetics of DNA Translocation through synthetic nanopores.
We have previously demonstrated that a nanometer-diameter pore in a nanometer-thick metal-oxide-semiconductor-compatible membrane can be used as a molecular sensor for detecting DNA. The prospects for using this type of device for sequencing DNA are avidly being pursued. The key attribute of the sensor is the electric field-induced (voltage-driven) translocation of the DNA molecule in an electr...
متن کاملControl of Protein Function through Optochemical Translocation
Controlled manipulation of proteins and their function is important in almost all biological disciplines. Here, we demonstrate control of protein activity with light. We present two different applications-light-triggered transcription and light-triggered protease cleavage-both based on the same concept of protein mislocation, followed by optochemically triggered translocation to an active cellu...
متن کاملSimulation of polymer translocation through protein channels.
A modeling algorithm is presented to compute simultaneously polymer conformations and ionic current, as single polymer molecules undergo translocation through protein channels. The method is based on a combination of Langevin dynamics for coarse-grained models of polymers and the Poisson-Nernst-Planck formalism for ionic current. For the illustrative example of ssDNA passing through the alpha-h...
متن کاملAmyloid peptide activates platelets through ADP release
Alzheimer’s disease is a highly debilitating disease of the central nervous system associated with the accumulation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides in the brain. Besides their cytotoxic effect on neurons, Aβ peptides are thought to be responsible for the atherothrombotic complications associated with Alzheimer’s disease, which are collectively known as cerebrovascular disease. In this study, we have...
