Cadherin-mediated transmembrane interactions.
We show in this study that cadherin ligands, either soluble or immobilized on different surfaces, can bind to cells carrying a compatible cadherin and induce long-range signals which affect cell adhesion and dynamics. Addition of recombinant N-cadherin extracellular domain (NEC) to CHO cells expressing N-cadherin (FL4) greatly enhanced the calcium-dependent aggregation of the cells and blocked ...
متن کاملIs Thermosensing Property of RNA Thermometers Unique?
A large number of studies have been dedicated to identify the structural and sequence based features of RNA thermometers, mRNAs that regulate their translation initiation rate with temperature. It has been shown that the melting of the ribosome-binding site (RBS) plays a prominent role in this thermosensing process. However, little is known as to how widespread this melting phenomenon is as ear...
متن کاملDynamic Helix Interactions in Transmembrane Signaling
Studying how protein transmembrane domains transmit signals across membranes is beset by unique challenges. Here, we discuss the circumstances that have led to success and reflect on what has been learned from these examples. Such efforts suggest that some of the most interesting properties of transmembrane helix interactions may be the least amenable to study by current techniques.
متن کاملMolecular Insight into the Mutual Interactions of Two Transmembrane Domains of Human Glycine Receptor (TM23-GlyR), with the Lipid Bilayers
Appearing as a computational microscope, MD simulation can ‘zoom in’ to atomic resolution to assess detailed interactions of a membrane protein with its surrounding lipids, which play important roles in the stability and function of such proteins. This study has employed the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to determine the effect of added DMPC or DMTAP molecules on the structure of D...
متن کاملPhospholemman transmembrane structure reveals potential interactions with Na+/K+-ATPase.
Phospholemman (PLM) is a 72-residue bitopic cardiac transmembrane protein, which acts as a modulator of the Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase and the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger and possibly forms taurine channels in nonheart tissue. This work presents a high resolution structural model obtained from a combination of site-specific infrared spectroscopy and experimentally constrained high throughput molecular dynami...
