Multiple interactions between transmembrane helices generate the oligomeric alpha1b-adrenoceptor.
Combinations of coimmunoprecipitation, single-cell fluorescence resonance energy transfer, and cell-surface time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer demonstrated protein-protein interactions and quaternary structure for the alpha(1b)-adrenoceptor. Self-association of transmembrane domain 1 and its interaction with the full-length receptor indicated a symmetrical interface provided b...
متن کاملEnvironmental Effects on Glycophorin A Folding and Structure Examined through Molecular Simulations.
The human erythrocyte sialoglycoprotein glycophorin A (GpA) has been used extensively in experiment and simulations as a model of transmembrane helix-dimer formation, emphasizing the critical role of specific residue-residue interactions between helices in dimer stability. While the tertiary dimer structure is modulated by the hydrophobic lipid bilayer environment, we show that interactions of ...
متن کاملCW-EPR studies revealed different motional properties and oligomeric states of the integrin β1a transmembrane domain in detergent micelles or liposomes
Integrins are heterodimeric membrane proteins that regulate essential processes: cell migration, cell growth, extracellular matrix assembly and tumor metastasis. Each integrin α or β subunit contains a large extracellular domain, a single transmembrane (TM) domain, and a short cytoplasmic tail. The integrin TM domains are important for heterodimeric association and dissociation during the conve...
متن کاملOligomeric structure of the α1b-adrenoceptor: Comparisons with rhodopsin
The structural basis of the quaternary organization of rhodopsin has recently been explored and modeled. Because information obtained from studying rhodopsin has frequently been directly applicable to other G protein-coupled receptors we wished to ascertain if dimeric and/or oligomeric forms of the 1b-adrenoceptor could be observed and if so whether rhodopsin might provide insights into the qua...
متن کاملHow do helix-helix interactions help determine the folds of membrane proteins? Perspectives from the study of homo-oligomeric helical bundles.
The final, structure-determining step in the folding of membrane proteins involves the coalescence of preformed transmembrane helices to form the native tertiary structure. Here, we review recent studies on small peptide and protein systems that are providing quantitative data on the interactions that drive this process. Gel electrophoresis, analytical ultracentrifugation, and fluorescence reso...
