Molecular Insight into the Mutual Interactions of Two Transmembrane Domains of Human Glycine Receptor (TM23-GlyR), with the Lipid Bilayers
Appearing as a computational microscope, MD simulation can ‘zoom in’ to atomic resolution to assess detailed interactions of a membrane protein with its surrounding lipids, which play important roles in the stability and function of such proteins. This study has employed the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to determine the effect of added DMPC or DMTAP molecules on the structure of D...
متن کاملTransmembrane segment M2 of glycine receptor as a model system for the pore-forming structure of ion channels.
The glycine receptor belongs to the ligand-gated ion channel superfamily. It is a chloride conducting channel composed of four transmembrane domains. It was previously shown that the second transmembrane domain (M2) of the glycine receptor forms an ion conduction pathway throughout lipid bilayers. The amino-acid sequence of the transmembrane segment M2 of the glycine receptor has a high homolog...
متن کاملCharacterization of biophysical properties of single chloride channel in rat brain mitochondrial inner membrane by channel incorporation into bilayer lipid membrane
Introduction: Recent studies have shown the presence of Cl- channels in heart and liver mitochondrial membranes. In this work, we have characterized the functional profile of a Cl- channel from rat brain mitochondria. Methods: After removing and homogenizing the rat brain, the supernatant was separately centrifuged in MSEdigitonin, H2O and Na2CO3 and mitochondrial inner membrane vesicles wer...
متن کاملAlterations in plasma membrane of glioblastoma cells by photodynamic action of merocyanine 540.
Photodynamic action of merocyanine 540 (MC540) on the plasma membrane of human glioblastoma(U-87MG) cells has been investigated. Plasma membrane was labeled with lipid specific probe 1,(4-trimethylammonium),6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene. Steady-state anisotropy, decay time and time-dependent anisotropy of TMA-DPH in U-87MG cells have been measured as a function of light dose. A decrease in the st...
متن کاملIntegration of a K+ channel-associated peptide in a lipid bilayer: conformation, lipid-protein interactions, and rotational diffusion.
The 26-residue peptide of sequence KEALYILMVLGFFGFFTLGIMLSYIR, which contains the single putative transmembrane domain of a small protein that is associated with slow voltage-gated K+ channels, has been incorporated in bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine by dialysis from 2-chloroethanol to form complexes of homogeneous lipid/peptide ratio. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicate...
