The transition state for integral membrane protein folding.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Paul Curnow, Paula J Booth

Abstract

Biology relies on the precise self-assembly of its molecular components. Generic principles of protein folding have emerged from extensive studies on small, water-soluble proteins, but it is unclear how these ideas are translated into more complex situations. In particular, the one-third of cellular proteins that reside in biological membranes will not fold like water-soluble proteins because membrane proteins need to expose, not hide, their hydrophobic surfaces. Here, we apply the powerful protein engineering method of Phi-value analysis to investigate the folding transition state of the alpha-helical membrane protein, bacteriorhodopsin, from a partially unfolded state. Our results imply that much of helix B of the seven-transmembrane helical protein is structured in the transition state with single-point alanine mutations in helix B giving Phi values >0.8. However, residues Y43 and T46 give lower Phi values of 0.3 and 0.5, respectively, suggesting a possible reduction in native structure in this region of the helix. Destabilizing mutations also increase the activation energy of folding, which is accompanied by an apparent movement of the transition state toward the partially unfolded state. This apparent transition state move...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
