Proteins are essential to the structure and function of all living cells and viruses.
Proteins are generally large molecules, having molecular masses of up to 3,000,000 (the muscle protein titin has a single amino acid chain 27,000 subunits long).
Protein deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, insulin resistance, hair loss, loss of hair pigment (hair that should be fl becomes reddish), loss of muscle mass (proteins repair muscle tissue), low body temperature, and hormonal irregularities.

Integral Membrane Protein Studied With Static Light Scattering.
We are using static light scattering to characterize the phase behavior of solutions containing pure detergent and detergent-protein complexes, with the goal of extending the observation that crystals of membrane protein-detergent complexes form near the detergent cloud point.
We are using solutions of both protein-detergent complexes and pure detergents in order to assess the relative contributions of the detergent and protein moieties to the overall behavior of the complexes.

 annual report 97   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Protein Transport Group has found that a short region in the cytoplasmic tail of a viral membrane protein is both necessary and sufficient to localize membrane proteins to the Golgi complex.
The group is focusing on various aspects of the exocytic protein transport route by studying the ER to Golgi transport, with an emphasis on the role of the intermediate compartment, as well as the mechanism of retention of membrane proteins in the Golgi complex.
In yeast cells lacking SHR3, an integral membrane component of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), all seventeen members of the amino acid permease (aap) gene family are unable to enter into ER derived COPII-coated transport vesicles and accumulate in the ER membrane.

 Cellular Genomics Awarded U.S. Patent for Integral Membrane Protein-Protein Interaction/Pathway Mapping Technology
This technology has significance for genomics-based drug discovery as membrane proteins have proven to be a rich source of drug targets that are highly amenable to the development of both small molecule and protein-based therapeutics.
The Membrane 1-Hybrid Platform(TM) will enable us to identify a wealth of potential drug targets in the context of biologically relevant cellular pathways." Cellular Genomics is implementing the Membrane 1-Hybrid(TM) Platform both to map the signaling pathways of individual protein drug targets, as well as on a genome-wide basis as a high-throughput protein-protein interaction screen.
While traditional yeast-based two-hybrid methods are being widely applied by industry for the mapping of the human proteome, these methods rely on the interaction of two proteins in the nucleus of the cell, and are therefore not useful for the study of most integral membrane proteins.

 Articles - Membrane protein   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
A membrane protein is a protein molecule that is attached to, or associated with the membrane of a cell or an organelle.
Integral membrane proteins are firmly attached to the membrane.
In most cases, the protein spans the entire membrane (a transmembrane protein) but in all cases, the protein is anchored in the membrane's hydrophobic region, by a covalently attached lipid or glycolipid.

It is anchored in the peroxisome membrane with its amino-terminal end, while the remainder of the protein is exposed to the cytosol.
One possibility for the role of PEX3 in membrane biogenesis is as a docking factor for PEX19, the peroxisome membrane protein receptor.
The topology of PEX3 is consistent with this theory, as it is anchored in its membrane by its N terminus, with the majority of the protein exposed to the cytoplasm.

A pore in the inner cell membrane of gram-negative cells, or in the cell membrane of gram-positive or animal cells is a potentially lethal situation - it can allow the free-flow of ions across the membrane and prevent the formation of ion gradients essential to cell function.
Colicin protein will pass through the outer membrane of a target bacteria and insert into the inner membrane where it folds up into a porin molecule.
These helices are believed to be able to insert into membranes and form a complex assemly that positions the hydrophobic face of the helices towards the apolar lipid environment, and the hydrophilic region towards the center.

We hypothesized that cell-specific alveolar epithelial apical plasma membrane proteins might be useful biochemical markers for lung injury.
This hypothesis has been validated in various models of rodent lung injury, in which the airspace liquid content of RT140, a rat type I cell integral membrane protein, correlated directly with the extent of epithelial injury assessed by morphologic criteria (Am J Physiol 1995; 268:L181-186, and 1997., 272:L631-638).
