1 Lecture 16: Membrane Proteins

2 Membrane proteins: 1) Overview: Types and Properties 2) Getting into the Membrane 3)What Membrane Proteins Do-- examples 3) Working with Membrane Proteins

3 Membrane Protein Overview -Membrane proteins are 25-35% of the genome. -Often important therapeutic targets: involved in signaling, transport, etc. -Can be anywhere from 25% (neurons) to 75% (mitochondria) by mass of the total membrane. -Under represented structurally

4 Beta-Barrel Alpha Helix Amphipathic Helix Fatty acid Chain GPI-Anchored Peripheral Types of Membrane Proteins

5 Beta-Barrel Proteins

6 Alpha Helical Membrane Proteins -Can classify by number of transmembrane segments (multi vs single pass) and their topology in the membrane. -Different methods are used to predict if a polypeptide chain will cross a membrane.

7 Hydropathy Plots for Alpha Helical Proteins: Classic Method For alpha-helical membrane proteins, you can use hydropathy plots to predict the probability that a segment will be within the membrane. These are generated by measuring, for each amino acid, its partition coefficient between water and a non-interacting, isotropic phase such as ethanol, and calculating from that partition coefficient a transfer free energy.

8 Hydropathy Plots: New Method Von Heijne, Biochem Soc. Trans. 2011

9 Membrane Attachment by a Lipid Anchor -Common for proteins involved in signaling. -A fatty acid chain is attached via a amide or thioester linkage, and anchors the protein in the membrane.

27 Post-translational Protein Targeting in Prokaryotes Cross et al., 2009 Very hydrophobic and basic signal peptides go through SRP-dependent pathway. Others go through SecB Folded proteins go through the Tat pathway

28 Model for SecA-mediated Protein Translocation Zimmer et al., Nature 2008 How does SecA use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to push a polypeptide through the translocon? Structural studies suggest that a “two helix finger” with a tyrosine paddle pushes the polypeptide into the translocon. It’s actions are coordinated with that of the peptide binding clamp, which has different conformational states during ATP hydrolysis.

29 Twin Arginine Transporter: Transports Folded Proteins Palmer and Berks Nature Reviews Microbiology 2012 Signal sequence contains twin arginines
