The amino acid sequence of the polypeptide segment which regulates membrane adhesion (grana stacking) in chloroplasts.
A positively charged amino acid sequence, located on the NH2 terminus of the polypeptides of the chlorophyll a/b light harvesting complex, stabilizes thylakoid membrane adhesion. Threonine residues in this segment are the site of light-induced, reversible phosphorylation; this covalent modification results in changes in excitation-energy distribution in chloroplast membranes. Removal of the pos...
متن کاملInhibition of membrane potential-dependent amino acid transport by daptomycin.
Daptomycin inhibits the formation of UDP-N-acetylmuramyl-pentapeptide in Bacillus megaterium by inhibiting active transport of amino acids incorporated into the pentapeptide. The ability of daptomycin to inhibit active transport and peptidoglycan formation may be due to its ability to disrupt the transmembrane electrochemical gradient.
متن کاملAnionic lipids stimulate Sec-independent insertion of a membrane protein lacking charged amino acid side chains.
We have investigated the influence of the different lipid classes of Escherichia coli on Sec-independent membrane protein insertion, using an assay in which a mutant of the single-spanning Pf3 coat protein is biosynthetically inserted into liposomes. It was found that phosphatidylethanolamine and other non-bilayer lipids do not have a significant effect on insertion. Surprisingly, the anionic l...
متن کاملSequence-based predictions of membrane-protein topology, homology and insertion
Membrane proteins comprise around 20-30% of a typical proteome and play crucial roles in a wide variety of biochemical pathways. Apart from their general biological significance, membrane proteins are of particular interest to the pharmaceutical industry, being targets for more than half of all available drugs. This thesis focuses on prediction methods for membrane proteins that ultimately rely...
متن کاملPerspectives on Membrane Protein Insertion, Protein–Bilayer Interactions, and Amino Acid Side Hydrophobicity
The purpose of the Perspectives in General Physiology is to provide a forum where scientifi c uncertainties or controversies can be discussed in an authoritative, yet open manner. The Perspectives are solicited by the editors, often based on recommendations by members of the editorial advisory board. To frame the issue, two or more experts are invited to present brief points of view on the prob...
