High-throughput Site-directed Scanning Mutagenesis Using a Two-fragment PCR Approach

Bio-Protocol, 2020
Site-directed scanning mutagenesis is a useful tool applied in studying protein function and designing proteins with new properties, such as increased stability or enzymatic activity. Creating a systematic library of hundreds of site-directed mutants is

The use of SMALPs as a novel membrane protein scaffold for structure study by negative stain electron microscopy. [PDF]

, 2015
Despite the great progress recently made in resolving their structures, investigation of the structural biology of membrane proteins still presents major challenges.

Directed Mutational Strategies Reveal Drug Binding and Transport by the MDR Transporters of Candida albicans

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Multidrug resistance (MDR) transporters belonging to either the ATP-Binding Cassette (ABC) or Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) groups are major determinants of clinical drug resistance in fungi.

Spontaneous Suppressors against Debilitating Transmembrane Mutants of CaMdr1 Disclose Novel Interdomain Communication via Signature Motifs of the Major Facilitator Superfamily

Journal of Fungi, 2022
The Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) drug:H+ antiporter CaMdr1, from Candida albicans, is responsible for the efflux of structurally diverse antifungals.

Membrane Lipids and the Conformations of Membrane Proteins [PDF]

The Journal of General Physiology, 1969
The general relations between protein conformation and the optical activity of peptide chromophores are outlined and applied to the analysis of the optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism of the plasma membranes of human erythrocytes and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells.

A Non-imaging High Throughput Approach to Chemical Library Screening at the Unmodified Adenosine-A3 Receptor in Living Cells

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
Recent advances in fluorescent ligand technology have enabled the study of G protein-coupled receptors in their native environment without the need for genetic modification such as addition of N-terminal fluorescent or bioluminescent tags.

The second intracellular loop of the yeast Trk1 potassium transporter is involved in regulation of activity, and interaction with 14–3-3 proteins

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Potassium is an essential intracellular ion, and a sufficient intracellular concentration of it is crucial for many processes; therefore it is fundamental for cells to precisely regulate K+ uptake and efflux through the plasma membrane.

Membrane systems with proteins embedded in membranes

Theoretical Computer Science, 2008
Membrane computing is a biologically inspired computational paradigm. Motivated by brane calculi we investigate membrane systems which differ from conventional membrane systems by the following features: (1) biomolecules (proteins) can move through the regions of the systems, and can attach onto (and de-attach from) membranes, and (2) membranes can ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Protein-induced modulation of chloroplast membrane morphology [PDF]

, 2012
Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition. While it is well established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been only recently suggested that elevated membrane protein concentrations ...
