Biogenesis of Polytopic Membrane Proteins: Membrane Segments Assemble within Translocation Channels prior to Membrane Integration
The initial steps in the biogenesis of membrane proteins parallel that of secretory proteins. The translocation of membrane proteins, however, must be interrupted prior to the complete traversal of the membrane. This is followed by their folding and integrating into the lipid bilayer. We have previously shown that as each latent transmembrane segment (TMS) in a polytopic membrane protein emerge...
متن کاملPolytopic Proteins: Preventing Aggregation in the Membrane
It has been proposed that the aggregation of nascent transmembrane segments of polytopic proteins is prevented by chaperones present in the endoplasmic reticulum membrane; now the first experimental support for this proposal has been reported.
متن کاملRole of YidC in folding of polytopic membrane proteins
YidC of Echerichia coli, a member of the conserved Alb3/Oxa1/YidC family, is postulated to be important for biogenesis of membrane proteins. Here, we use as a model the lactose permease (LacY), a membrane transport protein with a known three-dimensional structure, to determine whether YidC plays a role in polytopic membrane protein insertion and/or folding. Experiments in vivo and with an in vi...
متن کاملMembrane translocation of lumenal domains of membrane proteins powered by downstream transmembrane sequences
Translocation of the N-terminus of a type I signal anchor (SA-I) sequence across the endoplasmic reticulum membrane can be arrested by tagging with a streptavidin-binding peptide tag (SBP tag) and trapping by streptavidin. In the present study, we first examine the affinity required for the translocation arrest. When the SBP tag is serially truncated, the ability for arrest gradually decreases....
متن کاملEnergy requirements for unfolding and membrane translocation of precursor proteins during import into mitochondria.
ATP is involved in conferring transport competence to numerous mitochondrial precursor proteins in the cytosol. Unfolded precursor proteins were found not to require ATP for import into mitochondria, suggesting a role of ATP in the unfolding of precursors. Here we report the unexpected finding that a hybrid protein containing the tightly folded passenger protein dihydrofolate reductase becomes ...
