pH-Dependent Interaction between C-Peptide and Phospholipid Bicelles
C-peptide is the connecting peptide between the A and B chains of insulin in proinsulin. In this paper, we investigate the interaction between C-peptide and phospholipid bicelles, by circular dichroism and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and in particular the pH dependence of this interaction. The results demonstrate that C-peptide is largely unstructured independent of pH, but that a ...
متن کامل2H NMR studies of a myristoylated peptide in neutral and acidic phospholipid bicelles.
Deuterium NMR spectra of Myr-d27-GNAAAAKKGSEQES (Cat14), the N-terminal 14-residue peptide from the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase A (PKA), illustrate how magnetically aligned neutral and acidic phospholipid bicelles can be used to characterize the ordering and mode of binding of peptides to membranes. Since Cat14 is electrically neutral, the major interaction responsible fo...
متن کاملSwitched-angle spinning applied to bicelles containing phospholipid-associated peptides.
In a model study, the proton NMR spectrum of the opioid pentapeptide leucine-enkephalin associated with bicelles is investigated. The spectral resolution for a static sample is limited due to the large number of anisotropic interactions, in particular strong proton-proton couplings, but resolution is greatly improved by magic-angle sample spinning. Here we present two-dimensional switched-angle...
متن کاملStructure of the integrin beta3 transmembrane segment in phospholipid bicelles and detergent micelles.
Integrin adhesion receptors transduce bidirectional signals across the plasma membrane, with the integrin transmembrane domains acting as conduits in this process. Here, we report the first high-resolution structure of an integrin transmembrane domain. To assess the influence of the membrane model system, structure determinations of the beta3 integrin transmembrane segment and flanking sequence...
متن کاملociation between C-Peptide Concentration and Prostate
r Prev Res betes, characterized by perturbations in insulin production and signaling, is inversely associated rostate cancer risk irrespective of stage. Obesity, a diabetes risk factor, is inversely associated with ed disease but positively associated with advanced disease. To understand the complex associaetween hyperinsulinemia and prostate cancer, we evaluated the association of plasma C-pep...
