Modulation of membrane surface curvature by peptide-lipid interactions.
Recent reports on the interaction of cardiotoxin and melittin with phospholipid model membranes are reviewed and analyzed. These types of peptide toxins are able to modulate lipid surface curvature and polymorphism in a highly lipid-specific way. It is demonstrated that the remarkable variety of effects of melittin on the organization of different membrane phospholipids can be understood in a r...
متن کاملAlzheimer Aβ peptide interactions with lipid membranes
Fibrillar aggregates of misfolded amyloid proteins are involved in a variety of diseases such as Alzheimer disease (AD), type 2 diabetes, Parkinson, Huntington and prion-related diseases. In the case of AD amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, the toxicity of amyloid oligomers and larger fibrillar aggregates is related to perturbing the biological function of the adjacent cellular membrane. We used atomisti...
متن کاملPeptide-lipid interactions: insights and perspectives.
As the number of membrane proteins in the Protein Data Bank increases, efforts to understand how they interact with their natural environment are increasing in importance. A number of membrane proteins crystallise with lipid molecules implicitly bound at discrete locations that are consistent with the transmembrane regions of the protein. Bioinformatics studies also point to the specific intera...
متن کاملPeptide-Lipid Interactions: Experiments and Applications
The interactions between peptides and lipids are of fundamental importance in the functioning of numerous membrane-mediated cellular processes including antimicrobial peptide action, hormone-receptor interactions, drug bioavailability across the blood-brain barrier and viral fusion processes. Moreover, a major goal of modern biotechnology is obtaining new potent pharmaceutical agents whose biol...
متن کاملLipid-helix interactions in membrane receptors.
The integration of the transmembrane (TM) proteins in the lipid bilayer depend on lipid-protein interactions. The few crystal structures known for multiple membrane spanning proteins suggest a basic form composed of bundles of a-helices that pack together. In the membrane helix-helix and helix-lipid interaction define the helix arrangement in the folded receptor. Thus, the lipid-protein interac...
