Computational studies of protein - protein Interactions in transmembrane proteins

Abstract

Biological membranes are crucial components of all cells. They are bilayer mixtures composed by various types of lipids and a large number of membrane proteins. The latter, based on their position with respect to the membrane plane, are classified into transmembrane, peripheral membrane and lipid-anchored proteins. Transmembrane proteins constitute approximately 25-30% of known proteomes and control a wide range of cell functions, ranging from signal transduction and substrate transport to maintaining cell integrity and the regulation of gene expression, cell growth and cell death. As a result, transmembrane proteins have been implicated in a wide range of diseases and constitute prime targets in drug design. An important part of transmembrane protein functionality is their capability to form protein-protein interactions. The formation of supramolecular protein-protein complexes in the membrane plane, either between two or more transmembrane proteins or between transmembrane and ...
