This chapter reviews the molecular biology, biochemical, and NMR methods that we used to study the structural dynamics, membrane topology, and interaction of phospholamban (PLN), a small regulatory membrane protein involved in the regulation of the sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca-ATPase (SERCA). In particular, we show the progression of our research from the initial hypotheses toward understanding the molecular mechanisms of SERCA's regulation, including the effects of PLN oligomerization and posttranslational phosphorylation. Finally, we show how the knowledge of the molecular mechanism of the structural dynamics and topology of free and bound proteins can lead to the rational design of PLN analogs for possible use in gene therapy.
本章回顾了我们用于研究受磷蛋白(PLN)的结构动力学、膜拓扑结构及其相互作用的分子生物学、生物化学和核磁共振方法。PLN是一种参与肌浆网Ca-ATP酶(SERCA)调节的小型调节性膜蛋白。特别是,我们展示了我们的研究从最初的假设到理解SERCA调节分子机制的进展,包括PLN寡聚化和翻译后磷酸化的影响。最后,我们展示了自由和结合蛋白的结构动力学和拓扑分子机制的知识如何能够合理设计PLN类似物,以便可能用于基因治疗。
