Structural requirements for palmitoylation of surfactant protein C precursor.
Pulmonary surfactant protein C (SP-C) propeptide (proSP-C) is a type II transmembrane protein that is palmitoylated on two cysteines adjacent to its transmembrane domain. To study the structural requirements for palmitoylation of proSP-C, His-tagged human proSP-C and mutant forms were expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells and analysed by metabolic labelling with [3H]palmitate. Mutations were...
متن کاملA method for S- and O-palmitoylation of peptides: synthesis of pulmonary surfactant protein-C models.
A method for O- and S-palmitoylation of non-protected peptides has been developed. The peptides are treated with excess of palmitoyl chloride in 100% trifluoroacetic acid for 10 min at room temperature. The acidic conditions prevent acylation of amino groups, which is only significant after prolonged treatment (hours to days). The tripeptides Gly-Cys-Phe and Gly-Ser-Phe were converted into the ...
متن کاملBiomimicry of surfactant protein C.
Since the widespread use of exogenous lung surfactant to treat neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, premature infant survival and respiratory morbidity have dramatically improved. Despite the effectiveness of the animal-derived surfactant preparations, there still remain some concerns and difficulties associated with their use. This has prompted investigation into the creation of synthetic s...
متن کاملPalmitoylation of pulmonary surfactant protein SP-C is critical for its functional cooperation with SP-B to sustain compression/expansion dynamics in cholesterol-containing surfactant films.
Recent data suggest that a functional cooperation between surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C may be required to sustain a proper compression-expansion dynamics in the presence of physiological proportions of cholesterol. SP-C is a dually palmitoylated polypeptide of 4.2 kDa, but the role of acylation in SP-C activity is not completely understood. In this work we have compared the behavior of nat...
متن کاملPalmitoylation and polymerization of hepatitis C virus NS4B protein.
Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) NS4B protein induces a specialized membrane structure which may serve as the replication platform for HCV RNA replication. In the present study, we demonstrated that NS4B has lipid modifications (palmitoylation) on two cysteine residues (cysteines 257 and 261) at the C-terminal end. Site-specific mutagenesis of these cysteine residues on individual NS4B proteins and on a...
