Viroporins, Examples of the Two-Stage Membrane Protein Folding Model
Viroporins are small, α-helical, hydrophobic virus encoded proteins, engineered to form homo-oligomeric hydrophilic pores in the host membrane. Viroporins participate in multiple steps of the viral life cycle, from entry to budding. As any other membrane protein, viroporins have to find the way to bury their hydrophobic regions into the lipid bilayer. Once within the membrane, the hydrophobic h...
متن کاملMembrane protein folding and oligomerization: the two-stage model.
We discuss the view that the folding of many, perhaps most, integral membrane proteins can be considered as a two-stage process. In stage I, hydrophobic alpha-helices are established across the lipid bilayer. In stage II, they interact to form functional transmembrane structures. This model is suggested by the nature of transmembrane segments in known structures, refolding experiments, the asse...
متن کاملMembrane protein folding: beyond the two stage model.
The folding of alpha-helical membrane proteins has previously been described using the two stage model, in which the membrane insertion of independently stable alpha-helices is followed by their mutual interactions within the membrane to give higher order folding and oligomerization. Given recent advances in our understanding of membrane protein structure it has become apparent that in some cas...
متن کاملProtein Folding Simulation by Two-Stage Optimization⋆
We propose a two-stage optimization approach for protein folding simulation in the FCC lattice, inspired from the phenomenon of hydrophobic collapse. Given a protein sequence, the first stage of the approach produces compact protein structures with the maximal number of contacts among hydrophobic monomers, using the CPSP tools for optimal structure prediction in the HP model. The second stage u...
متن کاملthe use of appropriate madm model for ranking the vendors of mci equipments using fuzzy approach
abstract nowadays, the science of decision making has been paid to more attention due to the complexity of the problems of suppliers selection. as known, one of the efficient tools in economic and human resources development is the extension of communication networks in developing countries. so, the proper selection of suppliers of tc equipments is of concern very much. in this study, a ...
