Self diffusion of interacting membrane proteins.
A two-dimensional version of the generalized Smoluchowski equation is used to analyze the time (or distance) dependent self diffusion of interacting membrane proteins in concentrated membrane systems. This equation provides a well established starting point for descriptions of the diffusion of particles that interact through both direct and hydrodynamic forces; in this initial work only the eff...
متن کاملLateral diffusion of membrane proteins.
We measured the lateral mobility of integral membrane proteins reconstituted in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs), using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. Receptor, channel, and transporter proteins with 1-36 transmembrane segments (lateral radii ranging from 0.5 to 4 nm) and a alpha-helical peptide (radius of 0.5 nm) were fluorescently labeled and incorporated into GUVs. At low protein-to...
متن کاملKainate receptor-interacting proteins and membrane trafficking.
Kainate receptors are composed of several subunits and splice variants, but the relevance of this diversity is still not well understood. The subunits and splice variants show great divergence in their C-terminal cytoplasmic tail region, which has been identified as a region of interaction with a number of protein partners. Differential trafficking of kainate receptors to neuronal compartments ...
متن کاملMutual Control of Membrane Fission and Fusion Proteins
Membrane fusion and fission are antagonistic reactions controlled by different proteins. Dynamins promote membrane fission by GTP-driven changes of conformation and polymerization state, while SNAREs fuse membranes by forming complexes between t- and v-SNAREs from apposed vesicles. Here, we describe a role of the dynamin-like GTPase Vps1p in fusion of yeast vacuoles. Vps1p forms polymers that c...
متن کاملMembrane-associated, boron-interacting proteins isolated by boronate affinity chromatography.
Boron deficiency symptoms point to a role for boron in plant membranes, but the molecular partners interacting with boron have not yet been identified. The objective of the present study was to isolate and identify membrane-associated proteins with an ability to interact with boron. Boron-interacting proteins were isolated from root microsomal preparations of arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) ...
