Review Membrane proteins Membrane transport 3
The Structure and Chemistry of Membrane Proteins Integral (intrinsic) proteins Peripheral (extrinsic) proteins lipid-anchored proteins 4
Integral Membrane Proteins are Imbedded in the Membrane Transmembrane region hydrophobic does not fold similarly to soluble proteins because of the hydrophobic lipids They can only be removed from the membrane by denaturing the membrane (organic solvents, or strong detergents) α-helical bundles found in plasma membrane of eukaryotes and inner membrane of bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts β-barrel (even number of β-strands) located in outer membranes Glycophorin, bacteriorhodopsin are examples 5
Glyophorin A single-transmembrane-segment protein One transmembrane segment with globular domains on either end Transmembrane segment is alpha helical and consists of 19 hydrophobic amino acids Extracellular portion contains oligosaccharides and these constitute the ABO and MN blood group determinants 6
Bacteriorhodopsin A 7-transmembrane-segment (7-TMS) protein Found in purple patches of Halobacterium halobium Consists of 7 transmembrane helical segments with short loops that interconnect the helices br is a light-driven proton pump! transmembrane alphahelix requires 21-25 residues 7
Porins Structure of maltoporin from E. coli. Found both in Gram-negative bacteria and in mitochondrial outer membrane Porins are pore-forming proteins - 30-50 kd General or specific Porin from Rhodobacter capsulatus has 16-stranded beta barrel that traverses the membrane to form the pore Beta-strand requires only 9-11 residues per transmembrane strand 8
Lipid-Anchored Membrane Proteins Four types have been found: Amide-linked myristoyl anchors Thioester-linked fatty acyl anchors Thioether-linked prenyl anchors Glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchors 9
Membrane Transport what do you need to know? Read chapter 9 to p. 295 Facilitated diffusion, channels, active transport Equation of electrostatic potential (i.e. which direction will an ion move acording to chemical and electrical gradient) I will provide example problems in the next problem set Concept of primary and secondary transporters Note for problem set 11 ouabain is a potent inhibitor of the Na+- K+ pump 10
Interfaces between two molecules Size, shape, and charge of biomolecular complementarity surface area is a measure of the size of interaction Steric and electrostatic complementarity 11
Protein-DNA Interactions Transcription Translation DNA RNA protein DNA binding proteins have a central role in genetic activity transcription (trnascription factors) packaging (histones) rearrangement (topoisomerases) replication (polymerase) repair (thiamine dimer excision and repair) endonucleases (protection) 2-3 % of prokaryotic genome and 6-7 % of eukaryotic genome encodes DNA- binding proteins Additional Reading Chapter 29 pages 970-974 12
Protein-DNA Interactions We have mentioned basic residues interacting with the phosphate backbone as an interaction between proteins and DNA, but how is sequence specificity obtained? That is, the phosphate backbone is the same throughout the sequence; however, proteins bind to specific sequences, how? 13
e.g. TATA box binding protein The first eukaryotic genes to be sequenced and studied in in vitro transcription systems were viral genes and cellular protein-coding genes that are very actively transcribed either at particular times of the cell cycle or in specific differentiated cell types. In all of these rapidly transcribed genes, a highly conserved sequence called the TATA box was found 25 35 base pairs upstream of the start site Stepwise assembly of a transcriptioninitiation complex starts with TATAbinding protein (TBP) and recruits RNA polymerase II (Pol II) and general transcription factors. 14
