A protean clamp guides membrane targeting of tail-anchored proteins.
Proper localization of proteins to target membranes is a fundamental cellular process. How the nature and dynamics of the targeting complex help guide substrate proteins to the target membrane is not understood for most pathways. Here, we address this question for the conserved ATPase guided entry of tail-anchored protein 3 (Get3), which targets the essential class of tail-anchored proteins (TA...
متن کاملTubZ filament assembly dynamics requires the flexible C-terminal tail
Cytomotive filaments are essential for the spatial organization in cells, showing a dynamic behavior based on nucleotide hydrolysis. TubZ is a tubulin-like protein that functions in extrachromosomal DNA movement within bacteria. TubZ filaments grow in a helical fashion following treadmilling or dynamic instability, although the underlying mechanism is unclear. We have unraveled the molecular ba...
متن کاملMolecular basis of the C-terminal tail-to-tail assembly of the sarcomeric filament protein myomesin.
Sarcomeric filament proteins display extraordinary properties in terms of protein length and mechanical elasticity, requiring specific anchoring and assembly mechanisms. To establish the molecular basis of terminal filament assembly, we have selected the sarcomeric M-band protein myomesin as a prototypic filament model. The crystal structure of the myomesin C-terminus, comprising a tandem array...
متن کاملC-terminal tail insertion of Bcl-xL in membrane occurs via partial unfolding and refolding cycle associating microsolvation.
Bcl-xL, a member of the Bcl-2 family of proteins, remains distributed over the cytosol and the mitochondrial membrane, maintaining a balance between apoptosis and the survival of the cell. Passage to the membrane is essential for its biological functions (e.g. to antagonize pro-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl2 family), which is known to be initiated by the insertion of the C-terminal segment into...
متن کاملCharacterization of the vaccinia virus H3L envelope protein: topology and posttranslational membrane insertion via the C-terminal hydrophobic tail.
The vaccinia virus H3L open reading frame encodes a 324-amino-acid immunodominant membrane component of virus particles. Biochemical and microscopic studies demonstrated that the H3L protein was expressed late in infection, accumulated in the cytoplasmic viral factory regions, and associated primarily with amorphous material near immature virions and with intracellular virion membranes. Localiz...
