Book Coordination Among Proteins  Lipids and Water in Membrane Fusion and Fission Probed by Solid state NMR

Download or read book Coordination Among Proteins Lipids and Water in Membrane Fusion and Fission Probed by Solid state NMR written by Madeleine Sutherland and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For enveloped viruses such as HIV, influenza, and coronaviruses to enter host cells, the viral and cell envelopes must be fused together. Then, to exit the cell, a new virus particle will pinch off a piece of the host cell membrane. The two membranes must be physically separated to release the virus particle. This process is called "scission" in the context of viral exit and "fission" when simply discussing membrane division." Viral membrane remodeling proteins catalyze membrane fusion and fission to bring about viral entry and exit from host cells -- vital processes in the life cycle of enveloped viruses. The exact mechanism by which membrane remodeling proteins catalyze membrane fusion and fission is not yet fully understood. The membrane remodeling proteins may take any combination of the following actions to facilitate fusion and fission: 1. Directly altering the local curvature of the membrane 2. Altering the line tension at L[subscript o]/L[subscript d] phase boundaries 3. Forming protein clusters to act collectively on the membrane 4. Altering the local composition of the membrane at the site of fusion or fission 5. Physically disrupting the lipid assemblies, i.e. by inserting protein domains into the membrane and creating membrane defects In this work, we examine the extent to which HIV's membrane fusion protein gp41, and Influenza A's membrane fission protein M2, utilize these five processes to carry out their functions. We use solid-state NMR techniques to probe intermolecular interactions along those lines, with an emphasis on curvature and clustering. The contributions of both proteins and lipids to these processes will be examined. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms of HIV entry and influenza release, which can hopefully guide the development of better therapeutics and vaccines.

Book Structure and Dynamics of Full length M2 Protein of Influenza A Virus from Solid state NMR

Download or read book Structure and Dynamics of Full length M2 Protein of Influenza A Virus from Solid state NMR written by Shu-Yu Liao (Ph. D.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (SSNMR) has been frequently used to elucidate the structure and dynamics of membrane proteins and fibrils that are difficult to characterize by Xray crystallography or solution NMR. This thesis focuses on the structure determination and the proton conduction mechanism of the full-length matrix protein 2 (M2) of influenza A virus. The M2 membrane protein can be separated into three domains: an N-terminal ectodomain (1-2 1), an cc-helical transmembrane domain (TM) (22-46) connected to an amphipathic helix (AH) and a Cterminal cytoplasmic tail (63-97). The TM domain of M2 is responsible for proton conduction ant the ectodomain has been the target for vaccine development. The cytoplasmic tail has been implicated in M2 interaction with other viral proteins from mutagenesis studies. Given the importance of both N- and C-termini, it is essential to determine the structure and the dynamics of M2FL. Furthermore, we are interested in how the cytoplasmic tail affects proton conduction and the interaction of the anti-viral drug amantadine with M2 in the presence of the C-terminus. Using uniformly 13C, 15N-labeled M2FL, our water-selected 2D 13C-13C correlation experiment indicated that N- and C- termini are on the surface of the lipid bilayer moreover combining with chemical shift prediction, we determined that these two domains are mostly disordered. Deleting the ectodomain of M2FL (M2(21-97)) proved that a small [beta]-strand is located at the N-terminus only in the DMPC-bound state. The M2 conformation is found to be cholesterol-dependent since [beta]-strand is not found in cholesterol-rich membranes. M2(21-97) shows cationic histidine at higher pH, in contrast to M2TM, indicating that the cytoplasmic tail shifts the His37 pKa equilibria. Quantification of the 15N intensities revealed two pKa's as opposed to of four in M2TM suggesting cooperative proton binding. A possible explanation is that the large number of positively charged residues in the cytoplasmic tail facilitates proton conduction. The cytoplasmic tail was also found to restore drug-binding as amantadine no longer binds to M2(21-61) a in virus-mimetic membrane. These results have extended our understanding of the influence of the cytoplasmic domain on the structure and proton conduction of M2.
