“…Experimental data about the association energy of a series of 16 membrane structures that contain a single α -helix crossing the membrane were collected from Lomize et al (2020) . We analyzed how the MPr score of these transmembrane structures change upon dimerization or tetramerization and whether there is a quantitative relation between this score and the experimental values.…”

“…Our observations suggest several possibilities: (i) α-helix 6 (carrying P189) cannot form stable intra-helical contacts and/or folds transiently after it emerges from a ribosome; (ii) α-helix 6 does not fold fast enough thus exposes proteolytic sites; (iii) αhelix 6 cannot form an α-hairpin -α-helical folding pairwith a neighbouring α-helix. These αhairpins play crucial roles as the folding of nuclei in polytopic membrane proteins needs to be completed [46,48]. We postulate that one or a combination of (i-iii) could prevent P189 from passing intracellular control mechanisms, therefore preventing routing to the plasma membrane.…”

“…In prokaryotes, polytopic membrane protein insertions J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f happen mainly co-translationally [51], while in eukaryotes this occurs at an endoplasmic reticulum via elaborate pathways involving membrane protein insertase complexes [53], or via spontaneous insertion of nascent chains and translocon-unassisted folding [54]. Novel biocomputational approaches, such as TMPfold [46], are needed to evaluate the protein folding pathways of membrane proteins. Here, we used this approach together with 3D protein modelling and MD simulations to predict transmembrane α-helical assembly pathways of HvHKT1;5 proteins and their M372del mutants.…”
