A procedure for membrane-protein reconstitution and the functional reconstitution of the anion transport system of the human-erythrocyte membrane.
A short procedure for the isolation of band-3 protein, the protein responsible for anion exchange in erythrocytes, in a reasonable degree of purity was developed. Using this protein preparation and a novel procedure for membrane-protein reconstitution, vesicles displaying the basic features of the anion-exchange system of the erythrocyte were obtained. The reconstitution procedure is based on s...

متن کاملStructural and functional studies of complement inhibitor C4b-binding protein.
C4b-binding protein (C4BP) is a potent inhibitor of the classical pathway of the complement system. This large plasma glycoprotein consists of seven identical alpha-chains and a unique beta-chain held together by disulphide bridges. Both types of subunits are composed almost exclusively of complement control protein domains (CCPs). Using homology-based computer modelling and mutagenesis of reco...
متن کاملStructural, functional and immunological studies on a polymeric bacterial protein.
The characterization of proteins from Brucella spp, the causative agent of brucellosis, has been the subject of intensive research. We have described an 18-kDa cytoplasmic protein of Brucella abortus and shown the potential usefulness of this protein as an antigen for the serologic diagnosis of brucellosis. The amino acid sequence of the protein showed a low but significant homology with that o...
متن کاملReconstitution of functional membrane-bound acetylcholine receptor from isolated Torpedo californica receptor protein and electroplax lipids.
Purified acetylcholine receptor and total lipids, both extracted from Torpedo californica electroplax, were utilized to reconstitute chemically excitable membrane vesicles. Reconstitution was achieved by dialysis of the extraction detergent, octyl beta-D-glucoside from protein/lipid incubation mixtures. The reconstituted preparations could be fractionated by sucrose density gradient centrifuga...
