Membrane 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 کاملInsights into protein folding from NMR.
NMR has emerged as an important tool for studies of protein folding because of the unique structural insights it can provide into many aspects of the folding process. Applications include measurements of kinetic folding events and structural characterization of folding intermediates, partly folded states, and unfolded states. Kinetic information on a time scale of milliseconds or longer can be ...
متن کاملThe transition state for folding of an outer membrane protein.
Inspired by the seminal work of Anfinsen, investigations of the folding of small water-soluble proteins have culminated in detailed insights into how these molecules attain and stabilize their native folds. In contrast, despite their overwhelming importance in biology, progress in understanding the folding and stability of membrane proteins remains relatively limited. Here we use mutational ana...
متن کاملDissecting the folding mechanism of the outer membrane protein PagP
Introduction The E.coli outer membrane (OM) is densely packed with outer membrane proteins (OMPs) that carry out a diverse range of functions that include (non)specific transport of small and large ligands, proteolytic and synthetic reactions and cellular recognition and adhesion. However, despite their importance, understanding the biogenesis of OMPs and their folding and insertion into membra...
متن کاملMechanistic Insights into Hsp104 Potentiation.
Potentiated variants of Hsp104, a protein disaggregase from yeast, can dissolve protein aggregates connected to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. However, the mechanisms underlying Hsp104 potentiation remain incompletely defined. Here, we establish that 2-3 subunits of the Hsp104 hexamer must bear an A503V potentiating mutation to elicit enh...
