Transmembrane domain

Typically, the transmembrane domain is a transmembrane protein and the transmembrane helices single. It is known as an essential protein. In general, a three-dimensional protein structure any are thermodynamically stable transmembrane domain, a membrane more. This may be the structure of any other α-helix, a stable complex of transmembrane helix α β barrel through some gramicidin or β-helix. Transmembrane helix is ​​about 20 amino acids in length of the normal.

Structure and transmembrane α, most of the receptors are shown, most of the helix transmembrane domain. Is a receptor for some, such as ion channels and transmembrane domains of a hole nicotinic acetylcholine receptors such transmembrane proteins lined. When activated the extracellular domain by the binding of the appropriate ligand, the pores will be able to access the ions which are then passed to. It is assumed that cause structural changes in the binding to the receptor intracellular effect of other transmembrane domain. In some subjects, such as members of the 7TM superfamily such, the transmembrane domain, evidence what’s more is the study of the detailed structure of bacteriorhodopsin to other known receptors for this class (defined by the crystallography may ligand binding pocket is included) which is based part.

Transmembrane helix is ​​displayed in the structure of membrane proteins defined by the X-ray diffraction. They also may be provided based on a measure of hydrophobicity. Interior of most proteins of known structure and the inside of the bilayer since it is hydrophobic, it is hydrophobic as well, they will assume the requirements of amino acids comprising the membrane. However, ion channels and diaphragm pump includes a plurality of charged polar residue and the transmembrane segment of the total polarity.

Transmembranedomain2 Using an analysis of hydrophobic to predict transmembrane helices, i.e., part protruding part of it to allow the prediction to the end of the “Topology transmembrane” protein, how can many times protein chains We expect that you enter the cell across the membrane. The prediction method described above, typically, limited success is applied. Through prediction algorithm of online server can be found in Expasy expected topology. Prediction of the results are often different, you should be used with caution.

(The full deployment, decomposition will require the α helix H-bond only in nonpolar media) does not have to fully develop in the film They transmembrane α helix protein determined from the study of the thermal denaturation It is very stable to. On the other hand, by non-native aggregation simple, in misfolded membrane, the transition to the molten globule state, the formation of the deployment of non-regular loop that is less stable local and surrounding area and disulfide bonds of non-native proteins of these. Determine that the state not correctly folded is also important that. I are different in thermal denaturation experiments in a folded state of surfactant micelle inner membrane proteins. This condition, expand the cover segment in detergent partially and is a combination of indoor hydrophobic α-helix. For example, α-helices are closed SDS micelles “Sum” bacteriophages, the rest of the protein is located at the micelle-water interface, and has a through-four can accept various types of foreign amphiphilic structure . Of the free energy of the native state between detergent and denaturation of these is similar to the stability of (<10 kcal / mol) water-soluble protein.

refolding in vitro in the α-helix transmembrane protein is technically difficult. Here is an example of a relatively small number of refolding successful attempt by bacteriorhodopsin. Such proteins all folded together in the translation through translocon.The Lokon large channel typically in vivo, provides a heterogeneous environment highly for emerging transmembaneα-helix. The amphiphilic relatively polar α-helix, (which will be on the surface of the chip or in vitro film) to be able to handle the translocon channel that polar residues is filled with water of the central it is possible to employ a through direction translocon. Such a mechanism is required for the incorporation of polar α-helix structure of the transmembrane protein. Amphipathic helix, in a state in which the bond was synthesized, a protein of the translocon that is completely closed. If the protein remains folded, too connected to the translocon for a long time, it is broken down by the system battery “quality management” specific.
