A conformational preference parameter to predict helices in integral membrane proteins
Abstract:
Assignments were made for helical regions in several integral membrane proteins using an algorithm devised to delineate the transmembrane helices in bacteriorhodopsin (Eur. J. Biochem. 182 (1982) 565-575). A new conformational preference parameter for membrane-buried helices was obtained. The use of this parameter to predict helices in membrane proteins is discussed. When applied to the L and M subunits of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides, five helices were predicted, which is consistent with the three-dimensional X-ray crystal structure. Data on signal sequences and amino acid exchanges in membrane proteins are also analysed and discussed
