Redesign of a plugged beta-barrel membrane protein.
The redesign of biological nanopores is focused on bacterial outer membrane proteins and pore-forming toxins, because their robust β-barrel structure makes them the best choice for developing stochastic biosensing elements. Using membrane protein engineering and single-channel electrical recordings, we explored the ferric hydroxamate uptake component A (FhuA), a monomeric 22-stranded β-barrel p...
متن کاملEquilibrium folding intermediates of a Greek key beta-barrel protein.
Protein S is a calcium-binding protein comprising two Greek key beta-barrel domains. We have used NMR and optical spectroscopies to show that, in the absence of calcium, the N-terminal domain of protein S forms two equilibrium folding intermediates that are in slow exchange. The intermediates arise from differential calcium-dependent folding of subdomains which are not contiguous along the poly...
متن کاملBayesian Models and Algorithms for Protein Beta-Sheet Prediction
Prediction of the three-dimensional structure greatly benefits from the information related to secondary structure, solvent accessibility, and non-local contacts that stabilize a protein’s structure. We address the problem of β-sheet prediction defined as the prediction of β-strand pairings, interaction types (parallel or anti-parallel), and β-residue interactions (or contact maps). We introduc...
متن کاملBeta-Sheet Structure Prediction Methods
The amino acid sequence rules that correspond to beta-sheet structures in proteins are still not well understood. Current protein structure prediction methods are more accurate for alpha-helical structures than for beta-sheet structures. One reason that beta-strand structure prediction is more difficult is because of its high prevalence of nonlocal interactions between regions of the protein ch...
