Studies of liquid water in its supercooled region have helped us better understand the structure and behavior of water. Bulk water freezes at its homogeneous nucleation temperature (approximately 235 K), but protein hydration water avoids this crystallization because each water molecule binds to a protein. Here, we study the dynamics of the hydrogen bond (HB) network of a percolating layer of w...
The average hydrophobicity of a polypeptide segment is considered to be the most important factor in the formation of transmembrane helices, and the partitioning of the most hydrophobic (MH) segment into the alternative nonpolar environment, a membrane or hydrophobic core of a globular protein may determine the type of protein produced. In order to elucidate the importance of the MH segment in ...
The prion protein displays a unique structural ambiguity in that it can adopt multiple stable conformations under physiological conditions. In our view, this puzzling feature resulted from a sudden environmental change in evolution when the prion, previously an integral membrane protein, got expelled into the extracellular space. Analysis of known vertebrate prions unveils a primordial transmem...
Two plasma proteins, vitamin D-binding protein (actin monomer sequestrant) and gelsolin (actin polymer severing), have been found in association with actin in plasma from ill humans and during experimental injury. In vitro, these are the only plasma proteins that display a high affinity for actin. We infused increasing amounts of globular actin intravenously to rats to evaluate its disposition ...
The twin-arginine translocation (Tat) system is a protein translocation system that is adapted to the translocation of folded proteins across biological membranes. An understanding of the folding requirements for Tat substrates is of fundamental importance for the elucidation of the transport mechanism. We now demonstrate for the first time Tat transport for fully unstructured proteins, using s...
Motivation: Integral membrane proteins play important roles in living cells. Although these proteins are estimated to constitute around 25% of proteins at a genomic scale, the Protein Data Bank (PDB) contains only a few hundred membrane proteins due to the difficulties with experimental techniques. The presence of transmembrane proteins in the structure data bank, however, is quite invisible, a...
The myosin V carboxyl-terminal globular tail domain is essential for the attachment of myosin V to all known cargoes. Previously, the globular tail was viewed as a single, functional entity. Here, we show that the globular tail of the yeast myosin Va homologue, Myo2p, contains two structural subdomains that have distinct functions, namely, vacuole-specific and secretory vesicle-specific movemen...
The control of primary and further structures of individual folded/collapsed synthetic polymers has received significant attention in recent years. However, the synthesis of single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) showing a compact, globular conformation in solution has turned out so far to be highly elusive. By means of simulations, we propose two methods for obtaining globular SCNPs in solution. T...
Ovalbumin, as the major component of egg-white, is a globular, biocompatible, nontoxic and biodegradable phosphoglyco protein. This protein with the molecular weight of 44.5 kDa, contains 385 residues of amino acids with isoelectric point (pI) of 4.5. Many purification procedures have been reported for egg-white proteins such as gel permeation and anion exchange chromatography. In this study, w...
The effects of inert spherical crowders on the melting temperature and folding stability small globular proteins are investigated by using molecular dynamics simulations with a Gō-like model for proteins. energy parameter in is obtained individually each protein matching model’s to experimental meltingtemperature absence crowders. It shown that both increase presence Specifically, as crowders’ ...
