Hydrogen-bonding and packing features of membrane proteins: functional implications.
The recent structural elucidation of about one dozen channels (in which we include transporters) has provided further evidence that these membrane proteins typically undergo large movements during their function. However, it is still not well understood how these proteins achieve the necessary trade-off between stability and mobility. To identify specific structural properties of channels, we c...
متن کاملHydrogen bonding of nitroxide spin labels in membrane proteins.
On the basis of experiments at 275 GHz, we reconsider the dependence of the continuous-wave EPR spectra of nitroxide spin-labeled protein sites in sensory- and bacteriorhodopsin on the micro-environment. The high magnetic field provides the resolution necessary to disentangle the effects of hydrogen bonding and polarity. In the gxx region of the 275 GHz EPR spectrum, bands are resolved that der...
متن کاملfunctional study of p0 proteins of two cereal yellow dwarf viruses (cydv-rpv and cydv-rps) and identification of their cellular partner
نقش سرکوبگری پروتئین p0 در دو پولروویروس کوتولگی زردی غلات cydv-rpv) و (cydv-rps، متفاوت در شدت بیماریزایی، مورد مطالعه قرار گرفت. نتایج نشان داد که هر دو پروتئین p0 p0cy-rpv) و (p0cy-rps قادر به سرکوب خاموشی آر ان ای ایجاد شده توسط ترادف های تراژن سنس و تکرار معکوس در n. benthamiana هستند. نشان داده شد که هر دو پروتئین p0 می توانند تخریب پروتئین argonaute-1 را تسهیل کنند. علاوه بر این، تمایل م...
Molecular packing and packing defects in helical membrane proteins.
The packing of helices spanning lipid bilayers is crucial for the stability and function of alpha-helical membrane proteins. Using a modified Voronoi procedure, we calculated packing densities for helix-helix contacts in membrane spanning domains. Our results show that the transmembrane helices of protein channels and transporters are significantly more loosely packed compared with helices in g...
متن کاملInternal packing of helical membrane proteins.
Helix packing is important in the folding, stability, and association of membrane proteins. Packing analysis of the helical portions of 7 integral membrane proteins and 37 soluble proteins show that the helices in membrane proteins have higher packing values (0.431) than in soluble proteins (0.405). The highest packing values in integral membrane proteins originate from small hydrophobic (G and...
