Controlling the context: A novel strategy for the in vitro expression and immediate post‐translational membrane insertion of complex membrane proteins into an artificial membrane system is described. In this way problems are circumvented that arise when complex membrane proteins are overexpressed, detergent‐solubilized, and subsequently reconstituted into suitable artificial membrane systems for biophysical characterization. GPCR= G‐protein coupled receptor.
Eine neuartige Strategie für die In‐vitro‐Expression und unmittelbare posttranslationale Insertion komplexer Membranproteine in ein planares Membransystem wurde entwickelt. So lassen sich die Probleme umgehen, die bei der Überexpression, der Detergens‐vermittelten Solubilisierung und der anschließenden Rekonstitution in biophysikalisch charakterisierbare Membransysteme entstehen. Die Strategie wurde exemplarisch auf den Geruchsrezeptor OR5 angewendet.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
