Functional fragments of disorder in outer membrane β barrel proteins
The traditional view of "sequence-structure-function" has been amended by the discovery of intrinsically disordered proteins. Almost 50% of PDB structures are now known to have one or more regions of disorder, which are involved in diverse functions. These regions typically possess low aromatic content and sequence complexity as well as high net charge and flexibility. In this study, we examine...
متن کاملMembrane Defects Accelerate Outer Membrane β-Barrel Protein Folding
Outer membrane β-barrel proteins spontaneously fold into lipid bilayers with rates of folding that are strongly influenced by the physical properties of the membrane. We show that folding is accelerated when the bilayer is at the phase transition temperature, because of the coexistence of lipid phase domains and the high degree of defects present at domain boundaries. These results are consiste...
متن کاملA Novel Mitosomal β-Barrel Outer Membrane Protein in Entamoeba
Entamoeba possesses a highly divergent mitochondrion-related organelle known as the mitosome. Here, we report the discovery of a novel protein in Entamoeba, which we name Mitosomal β-barrel Outer Membrane Protein of 30 kDa (MBOMP30). Initially identified through in silico analysis, we experimentally confirmed that MBOMP30 is indeed a β-barrel protein. Circular dichroism analysis showed MBOMP30 ...
متن کاملAssembly of the β-Barrel Outer Membrane Proteins in Gram-Negative Bacteria, Mitochondria, and Chloroplasts
In the last decade, there has been an explosion of publications on the assembly of β-barrel outer membrane proteins (OMPs), which carry out diverse cellular functions, including solute transport, protein secretion, and assembly of protein and lipid components of the outer membrane. Of the three outer membrane model systems-Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts-research on bacter...
متن کاملPhylogenetic Analysis of Mitochondrial Outer Membrane β-Barrel Channels
Transport of molecules across mitochondrial outer membrane is pivotal for a proper function of mitochondria. The transport pathways across the membrane are formed by ion channels that participate in metabolite exchange between mitochondria and cytoplasm (voltage-dependent anion-selective channel, VDAC) as well as in import of proteins encoded by nuclear genes (Tom40 and Sam50/Tob55). VDAC, Tom4...
