Lipid-protein interactions in membranes.
The interactions of lipids with integral and peripheral proteins can be studied in reconstituted and natural membranes using spin label electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The ESR spectra reveal a reduction in mobility of the spin-labelled lipid species, and in certain cases evidence is obtained for a partial penetration of the peripheral proteins into the membrane. The latter may be re...
متن کاملIncorporation of outer membrane protein OmpG in lipid membranes: protein-lipid interactions and beta-barrel orientation.
OmpG is an intermediate size, monomeric, outer membrane protein from Escherichia coli, with n beta = 14 beta-strands. It has a large pore that is amenable to modification by protein engineering. The stoichiometry ( N b = 20) and selectivity ( K r = 0.7-1.2) of lipid-protein interaction with OmpG incorporated in dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine bilayer membranes was determined with various 14-pos...
متن کاملSpecific protein-lipid interactions in membrane proteins.
Many membrane proteins selectively bind defined lipid species. This specificity has an impact on correct insertion, folding, structural integrity and full functionality of the protein. How are these different tasks achieved? Recent advances in structural research of membrane proteins provide new information about specific protein-lipid interactions. Tightly bound lipids in membrane protein stru...
متن کاملProtein-lipid interactions in the photosynthetic membrane.
In each case the complexes were suspended in 20rn~-Tris/HCl (pH 8.0)/0.1% LDAO (v/v). The circles indicate where the recording spectrophotometer stopped and the spectra were continued point by point in another machine. (a) Complexes from strain 7750 grown at 2000k: 0, type 1 B800-850; 0, RC-B880. (b) Complexes from strain 7050 grown at 4001~: 0, type 2 B800-850; this spectrum was raised to make...
متن کاملBacterial osmosensing: roles of membrane structure and electrostatics in lipid-protein and protein-protein interactions.
Bacteria act to maintain their hydration when the osmotic pressure of their environment changes. When the external osmolality decreases (osmotic downshift), mechanosensitive channels are activated to release low molecular weight osmolytes (and hence water) from the cytoplasm. Upon osmotic upshift, osmoregulatory transporters are activated to import osmolytes (and hence water). Osmoregulatory ch...
