In vitro reconstitution of substrate S-acylation by the zDHHC family of protein acyltransferases

open access: yesOpen Biology, 2022
Protein S-acylation, more commonly known as protein palmitoylation, is a biological process defined by the covalent attachment of long chain fatty acids onto cysteine residues of a protein, effectively altering the local hydrophobicity and influencing ...

Proteolytic ectodomain shedding of membrane proteins in mammals—hardware, concepts, and recent developments

open access: yesEMBO Journal, 2018
Proteolytic removal of membrane protein ectodomains (ectodomain shedding) is a post‐translational modification that controls levels and function of hundreds of membrane proteins.

Pharmacological hallmarks of allostery at the M4 muscarinic receptor elucidated through structure and dynamics

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Allosteric modulation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) is a major paradigm in drug discovery. Despite decades of research, a molecular-level understanding of the general principles that govern the myriad pharmacological effects exerted by GPCR ...

Lipid–Protein Interactions Are Unique Fingerprints for Membrane Proteins

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2017
Cell membranes contain hundreds of different proteins and lipids in an asymmetric arrangement. Understanding the lateral organization principles of these complex mixtures is essential for life and health.

Fluorescently tagged nanobodies and NanoBRET to study ligand-binding and agonist-induced conformational changes of full-length EGFR expressed in living cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
IntroductionThe Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor is a member of the Erb receptor tyrosine kinase family. It binds several ligands including EGF, betacellulin (BTC) and TGF-α, controls cellular proliferation and invasion and is overexpressed in various ...

Ubiquitination and the Regulation of Membrane Proteins.

open access: yesPhysiological Reviews, 2017
Newly synthesized transmembrane proteins undergo a series of steps to ensure that only the required amount of correctly folded protein is localized to the membrane.

Diffusion of Integral Membrane Proteins in Protein-Rich Membranes

open access: yesThe Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters, 2017
The lateral diffusion of embedded proteins along lipid membranes in protein-poor conditions has been successfully described in terms of the Saffman-Delbrück (SD) model, which predicts that the protein diffusion coefficient D is weakly dependent on its radius R as D ∝ ln(1/R).

A novel lipoprotein nanoparticle system for membrane proteins

open access: yesNature Methods, 2016
A limiting factor in membrane protein research is the ability to solubilize and stabilize such proteins. Detergents are used most often for solubilizing membrane proteins, but they are associated with protein instability and poor compatibility with ...

Super-resolution microscopy compatible fluorescent probes reveal endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor distribution and dynamics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor is an important regulator of appetite and glucose homeostasis. Here the authors describe super-resolution microscopy and in vivo imaging compatible fluorescent probes, which reveal endogenous glucagon-like peptide-1 ...
