Perspectives on Membrane Protein Insertion, Protein–Bilayer Interactions, and Amino Acid Side Hydrophobicity
The purpose of the Perspectives in General Physiology is to provide a forum where scientifi c uncertainties or controversies can be discussed in an authoritative, yet open manner. The Perspectives are solicited by the editors, often based on recommendations by members of the editorial advisory board. To frame the issue, two or more experts are invited to present brief points of view on the prob...
متن کاملStabilizing Protein-Protein-Interactions with Multivalent Ligands
Huntington’s disorder (HD) is one of the neurodegenerative disorders in which the polyglutamine (polyQ) tract of the protein huntingtin (htt) is found to be expanded. First exon of this mutant htt protein is found in the inclusions in the brain of the patient suffering from HD, which is the pathological hallmark of the disease1. Exon-1 of htt comprises of 17 amino acid long N-terminal helix (Nt...
متن کاملPosition-dependence of stabilizing polar interactions of asparagine in transmembrane helical bundles.
Recent studies with model peptides and statistical analyses of the crystal structures of membrane proteins have shown that buried polar interactions contribute significantly to the stabilization of the three-dimensional structures of membrane proteins. Here, we probe how the location of these polar groups along the transmembrane helices affect their free energies of interaction. Asn residues we...
متن کاملA framework for protein and membrane interactions
We introduce the Bioβ Framework, a meta-model for both protein-level and membrane-level interactions of living cells. This formalism aims to provide a formal setting where to encode, compare and merge models at different abstraction levels; in particular, higher-level (e.g. membrane) activities can be given a formal biological justification in terms of low-level (i.e., protein) interactions. A ...
