Extracellular ligands are bound to receptors and then membrane complexes with other membrane proteins are formed.
To answer these questions, we developed a Monte Carlo simulation program to kinetically analyze signal pathways using the model in which ligands are bound to receptors and then membrane complexes with other membrane proteins are formed.
Likewise, fusion of lysosomal membranes with other compartments would result in a decrease in fluorescence intensity or an increase in acidic vesicle size [35], [36].
This chapter describes a method that can detect interactions of membrane proteins with other soluble or membrane proteins in vivo.
The presence of CAO in thylakoid membranes of mature chloroplasts, as indicated by the fluorescence of the GFP-fusion protein suggested that CAO is incorporated into envelope membranes after synthesis in the cytosol and subsequently transferred to thylakoid membranes along with other material as membrane vesicles [ 2, 34, 37, 38].
That is the reason why I have included Mitchell and others' work in the chapter "Insights from the movements across the membrane" together with other researches on transport that also indirectly influenced the perspective on membranes.
Our data characterized the Cav1.2 as having a high propensity for localization within the plasma membrane together with other willing channels, which supports the hypothesis that the Cav1.2 is an anchor for the membrane proteins in its close proximity.
The N2-domain-containing surface of the hexamer appears to be highly conserved in the GspE family and most likely faces the inner membrane interacting with other members of the Eps system.
During this migration, FBM neurons move through the neuroepithelium adjacent to the floor plate, in contact both with the basement membrane and with other migrating FBM neurons (Grant and Moens, 2010).
The costs associated with transmembrane proteins can include membrane piercing, interfering with other membrane proteins, or engaging membrane-specific folding pathways.
