Structural evidence for dimerization-regulated activation of an integral membrane phospolipase
Article Abstract:
It has been established that polar interactions can play a role in specific intermolecular contacts, even in the membrane-embedded parts of integral membrane proteins. Research in this area has involved investigating X-ray structures of monomeric and dimeric outer membrane phospholipase A from Escherichia coli. It was found that dimer interactions take place almost exclusively in the apolar membrane-embedded parts, with two hydrogen bonds within the hydrophobic membrane area being key interactions.
