Conformation of membrane-inserted P-glycoprotein
Background The human genome codes for 49 members of the large ABC protein family. Most of them are membrane transporters. The first structures of exporters have been solved in recent years. Although a remarkable achievement, some uncertainty remained with respect to the physiological conformation of the transporter, which seems not to be fully compatible with all biochemical evidence. During cr...
متن کاملMembrane-inserted conformation of transmembrane domain 4 of divalent-metal transporter.
Divalent-metal transporter 1 (DMT1) is involved in the intestinal iron absorption and in iron transport in the transferrin cycle. It transports metal ions at low pH ( approximately 5.5), but not at high pH (7.4), and the transport is a proton-coupled process. Previously it has been shown that transmembrane domain 4 (TM4) is crucial for the function of this protein. Here we provide the first dir...
متن کاملIn vitro membrane-inserted conformation of the cytochrome b(5) tail.
The cytochrome b(5) tail is a 43-residue membrane-embedded domain that is responsible for anchoring the catalytic domain of cytochrome b(5) to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Different models for the structure of the membrane domain of cytochrome b(5) have been proposed, including a helical hairpin and a single transmembrane helix. In the present study, CD spectroscopy was used to investiga...
متن کاملEffect of platelet activation on the conformation of the plasma membrane glycoprotein IIb-IIIa complex.
Platelet activation converts the membrane GP IIb-IIIa complex into a functional receptor for fibrinogen, but the mechanism is poorly understood. We asked whether induction of receptor competency coincides with a conformational change affecting the spatial arrangement of exoplasmic domains of the IIb and IIIa subunits. Epitopes on these subunits were labeled with monoclonal antibodies conjugated...
متن کاملDivalent cations stabilize the conformation of plasma cell membrane glycoprotein PC-1 (alkaline phosphodiesterase I).
The plasma cell-membrane glycoprotein PC-1 is an ectoenzyme with alkaline phosphodiesterase I/5'-nucleotide phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.1) and nucleotide pyrophosphatase (EC 3.6.1.9) activities. It contains sequence motifs which closely match the consensus EF-hand (helix-loop-helix) Ca(2+)-binding regions of parvalbumin, troponin-C and calmodulin, and its enzymic activity is increased in the pr...
