Cotranslational assembly of membrane protein/nanoparticles in cell-free systems

News, Publications / , , / /

Roman Levin, Zoe Köck, Janosch Martin, René Zangl, Theresa Gewering, Leah Schüler, Arne Moeller, Volker Dötsch, Nina Morgner, Frank Bernhard Nanoparticles composed of amphiphilic scaffold proteins and small lipid bilayers are valuable tools for reconstitution and subsequent functional and structural characterization of membrane proteins. In combination with cell-free protein production systems, nanoparticles can be used […]

Laura Galazzo, Gianmarco Meier, Dovile Januliene, Kristian Parey, Dario De Vecchis, Bianca Striednig, Hubert Hilbi, Lars V. Schäfer, Ilya Kuprov, Arne Moeller, Enrica Bordignon, Markus A. Seeger Membrane proteins are currently investigated after detergent extraction from native cellular membranes and reconstitution into artificial liposomes or nanodiscs, thereby removing them from their physiological environment. However, to

Dmitry Shvarev, Jannis Schoppe, Caroline König, Angela Perz, Nadia Füllbrunn, Stephan Kiontke, Lars Langemeyer, Dovile Januliene, Kilian Schnelle, Daniel Kümmel, Florian Fröhlich, Arne Moeller, Christian Ungermann Lysosomes are essential for cellular recycling, nutrient signaling, autophagy, and pathogenic bacteria and viruses invasion. Lysosomal fusion is fundamental to cell survival and requires HOPS, a conserved heterohexameric tethering
