    Micelles protect membrane complexes from solution to vacuum (2008)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2008-06-17
    Description: The ability to maintain interactions between soluble protein subunits in the gas phase of a mass spectrometer gives critical insight into the stoichiometry and interaction networks of protein complexes. Conversely, for membrane protein complexes in micelles, the transition into the gas phase usually leads to the disruption of interactions, particularly between cytoplasmic and membrane subunits, and a mass spectrum dominated by large aggregates of detergent molecules. We show that by applying nanoelectrospray to a micellar solution of a membrane protein complex, the heteromeric adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter BtuC2D2, we can maintain the complex intact in the gas phase of a mass spectrometer. Dissociation of either transmembrane (BtuC) or cytoplasmic (BtuD) subunits uncovers modifications to the transmembrane subunits and cooperative binding of ATP. By protecting a membrane protein complex within a n-dodecyl-beta-d-maltoside micelle, we demonstrated a powerful strategy that will enable the subunit stoichiometry and ligand-binding properties of membrane complexes to be determined directly, by precise determination of the masses of intact complexes and dissociated subunits.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barrera, Nelson P -- Di Bartolo, Natalie -- Booth, Paula J -- Robinson, Carol V -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Jul 11;321(5886):243-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1159292.

    Self-assembling cages from coiled-coil peptide modules (2013)
    American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2013-04-13
    Description: An ability to mimic the boundaries of biological compartments would improve our understanding of self-assembly and provide routes to new materials for the delivery of drugs and biologicals and the development of protocells. We show that short designed peptides can be combined to form unilamellar spheres approximately 100 nanometers in diameter. The design comprises two, noncovalent, heterodimeric and homotrimeric coiled-coil bundles. These are joined back to back to render two complementary hubs, which when mixed form hexagonal networks that close to form cages. This design strategy offers control over chemistry, self-assembly, reversibility, and size of such particles.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Fletcher, Jordan M -- Harniman, Robert L -- Barnes, Frederick R H -- Boyle, Aimee L -- Collins, Andrew -- Mantell, Judith -- Sharp, Thomas H -- Antognozzi, Massimo -- Booth, Paula J -- Linden, Noah -- Miles, Mervyn J -- Sessions, Richard B -- Verkade, Paul -- Woolfson, Derek N -- BB/G008833/1/Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2013 May 3;340(6132):595-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1233936.
