Nuclear Envelope: Membrane Bending for Pore Formation?
Membrane-shaping proteins known as reticulons help to sculpt the endoplasmic reticulum; recent findings indicate that they also play a role in the formation of nuclear-pore-complex-associated pores in the nuclear envelope.
متن کاملEnvelope protein palmitoylations are crucial for murine coronavirus assembly.
The coronavirus assembly process encloses a ribonucleoprotein genome into vesicles containing the lipid-embedded proteins S (spike), E (envelope), and M (membrane). This process depends on interactions with membranes that may involve palmitoylation, a common posttranslational lipidation of cysteine residues. To determine whether specific palmitoylations influence coronavirus assembly, we introd...
متن کاملImportance of conserved cysteine residues in the coronavirus envelope protein.
Coronavirus envelope (E) proteins play an important, not fully understood role(s) in the virus life cycle. All E proteins have conserved cysteine residues located on the carboxy side of the long hydrophobic domain, suggesting functional significance. In this study, we confirmed that mouse hepatitis coronavirus A59 E protein is palmitoylated. To understand the role of the conserved residues and ...
متن کاملStatistical thermodynamics of membrane bending-mediated protein-protein attractions.
Highly wedge-shaped integral membrane proteins, or membrane-adsorbed proteins can induce long-ranged deformations. The strain in the surrounding bilayer creates relatively long-ranged forces that contribute to interactions with nearby proteins. In contrast, to direct short-ranged interactions such as van der Waal's, hydrophobic, or electrostatic interactions, both local membrane Gaussian curvat...
متن کاملStatistical thermodynamics of membrane bending mediated protein-protein attraction
Integral membrane proteins deform the surrounding bilayer creating long-ranged forces that influence distant proteins. These forces can be attractive or repulsive, depending on the proteins’ shape, height, contact angle with the bilayer, as well as the local membrane curvature. Although interaction energies are not pairwise additive, for sufficiently low protein density, thermodynamic propertie...
