Allostery in membrane proteins [PDF]
Membrane proteins are an integral part of signal transduction. To signal, membrane proteins must interact with a variety of lipid species, effectors, and other proteins in the biological membrane leading to an immense number of possible interactions. Despite this inherent complexity, accurate control of signaling must take place.

Protein-induced membrane curvature changes membrane tension [PDF]
Adsorption of proteins onto membranes can alter the local membrane curvature. This phenomenon has been observed in biological processes such as endocytosis, tubulation and vesiculation.

Intercalated Cells: More than pH Regulation
The renal collecting duct is the nephron segment where the final urine content of acid equivalents and inorganic ions are determined. The role of two different cell types present in this nephron segment has been determined many years ago: principal cells

Lipid environment determines the drug-stimulated ATPase activity of P-glycoprotein
P-glycoprotein (Pgp) is a multidrug transporter that uses the energy from ATP binding and hydrolysis to export from cells a wide variety of hydrophobic compounds including anticancer drugs, and mediates the bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of many ...

Correlated diffusion of membrane proteins and their effect on membrane viscosity [PDF]
We extend the Saffman theory of membrane hydrodynamics to account for the correlated motion of membrane proteins, along with the effect of protein concentration on that correlation and on the response of the membrane to stresses.

Sites of Biosynthesis of Outer and Inner Membrane Proteins of Neurospora crassa Mitochondria [PDF]
Outer and inner membranes of Neurospora crassa mitochondria were separated by the combined swelling, shrinking, sonication procedure. Membranes were characterized by electron microscopy and by marker enzyme activities.

A saposin-lipoprotein nanoparticle system for membrane proteins. [PDF]
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 ...

Assembly of Protein 4.1 during Chicken Erythroid Differentiation [PDF]
Protein 4.1 is a peripheral membrane protein that strengthens the actin-spectrin based membrane skeleton of the red blood cell and also serves to attach this structure to the plasma membrane. In avian erythrocytes it exists as a family of closely related

Role of PKD2 in the endoplasmic reticulum calcium homeostasis
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is caused by mutations in the PKD1 or PKD2 gene which encodes membrane receptor PKD1 and cation channel PKD2, respectively. PKD2, also called transient receptor potential polycystin-2 (TRPP2), is a Ca2+

Purification and Characterisation of a Pore Protein of the Outer Mitochondrial Membrane from Neurospora crassa [PDF]
The major protein of the outer mitochondrial membrane of Neurospora was purified. On dodecylsulfate-containing gels it displayed a single bend with an apparent molecular weight of 31000.
