Fabs enable single particle cryoEM studies of small proteins.
In spite of its recent achievements, the technique of single particle electron cryomicroscopy (cryoEM) has not been widely used to study proteins smaller than 100 kDa, although it is a highly desirable application of this technique. One fundamental limitation is that images of small proteins embedded in vitreous ice do not contain adequate features for accurate image alignment. We describe a ge...
متن کاملSingle Particle CryoEM of the Anthrax Toxin Initial Engagement Complex
The lethality of anthrax, a zoonotic disease and bioterrorism agent, is due to the anthrax toxin. This tripartitate toxin consists of protective antigen (PA), lethal factor (LF), and edema factor (EF). The 440 kDa heptameric PA prepore binds up to three molecules of LF, a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase protease, and/or EF, an adenylate cyclase. This entire complex, bound to receptor pr...

متن کاملMembrane stiffness is modified by integral membrane proteins
The ease with which a cell membrane can bend and deform is important for a wide range of biological functions. Peripheral proteins that induce curvature in membranes (e.g. BAR domains) have been studied for a number of years. Little is known, however, about the effect of integral membrane proteins on the stiffness of a membrane (characterised by the bending rigidity, Kc). We demonstrate by comp...
متن کاملDomain Organization of Long Signal Peptides of Single-Pass Integral Membrane Proteins Reveals Multiple Functional Capacity
Targeting signals direct proteins to their extra- or intracellular destination such as the plasma membrane or cellular organelles. Here we investigated the structure and function of exceptionally long signal peptides encompassing at least 40 amino acid residues. We discovered a two-domain organization ("NtraC model") in many long signals from vertebrate precursor proteins. Accordingly, long sig...
