Chemical modification of matrix porin from Escherichia coli: probing the pore topology of a transmembrane protein
Chemical modification of amino groups in matrix porin solubilized and purified from outer membranes of Escherichia coli in beta-octylglucoside was performed with eosin isothiocyanate and citraconic anhydride. At pH 7 8.5, the former reagent labeled a single amino group in the native protein, while more extensive derivatization was observed with increasing pH or upon denaturation. Citraconic anh...
متن کاملLarge-Conductance Transmembrane Porin Made from DNA Origami
DNA nanotechnology allows for the creation of three-dimensional structures at nanometer scale. Here, we use DNA to build the largest synthetic pore in a lipid membrane to date, approaching the dimensions of the nuclear pore complex and increasing the pore-area and the conductance 10-fold compared to previous man-made channels. In our design, 19 cholesterol tags anchor a megadalton funnel-shaped...
متن کاملIdentifying the lipid-protein interface and transmembrane structural transitions of the Torpedo Na,K-ATPase using hydrophobic photoreactive probes.
To identify regions of the Torpedo Na,K-ATPase alpha-subunit that interact with membrane lipid and to characterize conformationally dependent structural changes in the transmembrane domain, we have proteolytically mapped the sites of photoincorporation of the hydrophobic compounds 3-(trifluoromethyl)-3-(m-[(125)I]iodophenyl)diazirine ([(125)I]TID) and the phosphatidylcholine analogue [(125)I]TI...
متن کاملA stochastic roadmap method to model protein structural transitions
Evidence is emerging that the role of protein structure in disease needs to be rethought. Sequence mutations in proteins are often found to affect the rate at which a protein switches between structures. Modeling structural transitions in wildtype and variant proteins is central to understanding the molecular basis of disease. This paper investigates an efficient algorithmic realization of the 5
