We emphasize the central role the membrane insertion of specialized protein domains plays in orchestrating fission in vitro and in cells.
We find that each of the Asp residues in the transmembrane segment is critical for solubility and pH-dependent membrane insertion of the peptide.
Isothermal titration calorimetry studies suggest that the peptide binding to membranes results in exothermic heat of reaction, which arises from helix formation and membrane insertion of the peptide.
This might be because that CPT could perform as a hydrophobic residue to increase the extent of membrane insertion of TAT and the stability of the pores.
This system exploits this organism's unique physiology whereby strongly induced heterologous expression of target membrane proteins can be coordinated with synthesis of new membranes, thereby favoring membrane insertion of natively folded polypeptides.
