Solution structure of the integral human membrane protein VDAC-1 in detergent micelles.
The voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) mediates trafficking of small molecules and ions across the eukaryotic outer mitochondrial membrane. VDAC also interacts with antiapoptotic proteins from the Bcl-2 family, and this interaction inhibits release of apoptogenic proteins from the mitochondrion. We present the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) solution structure of recombinant human VDAC-1 r...
متن کاملIntegral membrane protein biosynthesis
Understanding the details of integral membrane protein biogenesis is important for the study of any process or pathway that involves these proteins, including signaling cascades, vesicle trafficking and intercellular communication. Structural information is commonly used to predict protein function, and an important feature of the tertiary structure of an integral membrane protein is its topolo...
متن کاملLayilin, a novel integral membrane protein, is a hyaluronan receptor.
The actin cytoskeleton plays a significant role in changes of cell shape and motility, and interactions between the actin filaments and the cell membrane are crucial for a variety of cellular processes. Several adaptor proteins, including talin, maintain the cytoskeleton-membrane linkage by binding to integral membrane proteins and to the cytoskeleton. Layilin, a recently characterized transmem...
متن کاملIntegral membrane protein structure determination using pseudocontact shifts
Obtaining enough experimental restraints can be a limiting factor in the NMR structure determination of larger proteins. This is particularly the case for large assemblies such as membrane proteins that have been solubilized in a membrane-mimicking environment. Whilst in such cases extensive deuteration strategies are regularly utilised with the aim to improve the spectral quality, these scheme...
متن کاملOccludin: a novel integral membrane protein localizing at tight junctions
Recently, we found that ZO-1, a tight junction-associated protein, was concentrated in the so called isolated adherens junction fraction from the liver (Itoh, M., A. Nagafuchi, S. Yonemura, T. Kitani-Yasuda, Sa. Tsukita, and Sh. Tsukita. 1993. J. Cell Biol. 121:491-502). Using this fraction derived from chick liver as an antigen, we obtained three monoclonal antibodies specific for a approximat...
