Interfacial Aromatics Mediating Cation-π Interactions with Choline-Containing Lipids Can Contribute as Much to Peripheral Protein Affinity for Membranes as Aromatics Inserted below the Phosphates
Waheed, Qaiser; Khan, Hanif Muhammad; He, Tao; Roberts, Mary F.; Gershenson, Anne; Reuter, Nathalie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Membrane-binding interfaces of peripheral proteins are restricted to a small part of their exposed surface, so the ability to engage in strong selective interactions with membrane lipids at various depths in the interface, ... -
A Role for Weak Electrostatic Interactions in Peripheral Membrane Protein Binding
Khan, Hanif Muhammad; He, Tao; Fuglebakk, Edvin; Grauffel, Cédric; Yang, Boqian; Roberts, Mary F.; Gershenson, Anne; Reuter, Nathalie (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Bacillus thuringiensis phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (BtPI-PLC) is a secreted virulence factor that binds specifically to phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayers containing negatively charged phospholipids. ...
