Reverse micelle encapsulation of membrane-anchored proteins for solution NMR studies.
Perhaps 5%-10% of proteins bind to membranes via a covalently attached lipid. Posttranslational attachment of fatty acids such as myristate occurs on a variety of viral and cellular proteins. High-resolution information about the nature of lipidated proteins is remarkably sparse, often because of solubility problems caused by the exposed fatty acids. Reverse micelle encapsulation is used here t...
متن کاملApplication of Solution NMR to Structural Studies on α-Helical Integral Membrane Proteins.
A large portion of proteins in living organisms are membrane proteins which play critical roles in the biology of the cell, from maintenance of the biological membrane integrity to communication of cells with their surroundings. To understand their mechanism of action, structural information is essential. Nevertheless, structure determination of transmembrane proteins is still a challenging are...
متن کاملSolution NMR studies on the orientation of membrane-bound peptides and proteins by paramagnetic probes.
Many peptides and proteins are attached to or immersed in a biological membrane. In order to understand their function not only the structure but also their topology in the membrane is important. Solution NMR spectroscopy is one of the most often used approaches to determine the orientation and localization of membrane-bound peptides and proteins. Here we give an application-oriented overview o...
متن کاملSolution NMR studies of the integral membrane proteins OmpX and OmpA from Escherichia coli.
Membrane proteins are usually solubilized in polar solvents by incorporation into micelles. Even for small membrane proteins these mixed micelles have rather large molecular masses, typically beyond 50000 Da. The NMR technique TROSY (transverse relaxation-optimized spectroscopy) has been developed for studies of structures of this size in solution. In this paper, strategies for the use of TROSY...
متن کاملConformational study of lipophilic ligands in phospholipid model membrane systems by solution NMR.
Phospholipid bicelles were employed as a membrane bilayer model in the conformational studies of two lipophilic cannabinoids, delta(8)-THC and its O-methyl ether analogue, Me-Delta(8)-THC using conventional high-resolution NMR. A preparation of 8% (w/v) phospholipid concentration and a high DMPC/DHPC ratio (q = 2.0) was found to be optimal for not only effectively incorporating our ligands, but...
