Protein directed assembly of lipids.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Highly ordered ring-like structures are formed via the directed assembly of lipid domains in supported bilayers, using the extracellular matrix protein fibronectin. The ability of biological molecules to guide nanoscale assembly suggests potential biomimetic approaches to nanoscale structures.

Microsomal triglyceride transfer protein and its role in apoB-lipoprotein assembly.
Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) are necessary for lipoprotein assembly. ApoB consists of five structural domains, betaalpha(1)-beta(1)-alpha(2)-beta(2)-alpha(3). We propose that MTP contains three structural motifs (N-terminal beta-barrel, central alpha-helix, and C-terminal lipid cavity) and three functional domains (lipid transfer, membrane associati...
متن کاملThe directed cooperative assembly of proteorhodopsin into 2D and 3D polarized arrays.
Proteorhodopsin is the membrane protein used by marine bacterioplankton as a light-driven proton pump. Here, we describe a rapid cooperative assembly process directed by universal electrostatic interactions that spontaneously organizes proteorhodopsin molecules into ordered arrays with well defined orientation and packing density. We demonstrate the charge density-matching mechanism that select...
متن کاملEffects of Different Levels of Protein, Lipid and their Interaction on Growth Factors of Indian White Shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus) Post Larvae
Three experiments of 60 days duration were conducted in post larval stage of Indian white shrimp, Fenneropenaeus indicus, to explore the appropriate protein: lipid ratios in their diets. A common ingredient mixture consisting of; fish meal, shrimp meal, ground nut oil cake, cholesterol, lecithin, vitamins and minerals blended with chicken egg albumin, tapioca flour and cellulose (filler) was us...
متن کاملInterdependent assembly of specific regulatory lipids and membrane fusion proteins into the vertex ring domain of docked vacuoles
Membrane microdomains are assembled by lipid partitioning (e.g., rafts) or by protein-protein interactions (e.g., coated vesicles). During docking, yeast vacuoles assemble "vertex" ring-shaped microdomains around the periphery of their apposed membranes. Vertices are selectively enriched in the Rab GTPase Ypt7p, the homotypic fusion and vacuole protein sorting complex (HOPS)-VpsC Rab effector c...
متن کاملViral sensing of the subcellular environment regulates 3 the assembly of new viral replicase complexes during 4 the course of infection
Replication of (+)RNA viruses depends on the availability of co-opted host 16 proteins and lipids. But how could viruses sense the accessibility of cellular resources? An 17 emerging concept based on tombusviruses, small plant viruses, is that viruses might 18 regulate viral replication at several steps depending on what cellular factors are available 19 at a given time point. The authors discu...
