CXCR1 is one of two high-affinity receptors for the CXC chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8), a major mediator of immune and inflammatory responses implicated in many disorders, including tumour growth.… (More)
The structures of functional peptides corresponding to the predicted channel-lining M2 segments of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) and of a glutamate receptor of the NMDA subtype (NMDAR)… (More)
A solid-state NMR approach for simultaneous resonance assignment and three-dimensional structure determination of a membrane protein in lipid bilayers is described. The approach is based on the… (More)
The seven members of the FXYD protein family associate with the Na(+)-K(+) pump and modulate its activity. We investigated whether conserved cysteines in FXYD proteins are susceptible to… (More)
BACKGROUND
Phospholemman (PLM) is an abundant phosphoprotein in the plasma membrane of cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle. It is a member of the FXYD family of proteins that bind to and regulate the… (More)
FXYD1 is a major regulatory subunit of the Na,K-ATPase and the principal substrate of hormone-regulated phosphorylation by c-AMP dependent protein kinases A and C in heart and skeletal muscle… (More)
Determining the atomic resolution structures of membrane proteins is of particular interest in contemporary structural biology. Helical membrane proteins constitute one-third of the expressed… (More)

Vpu is an 81-residue membrane protein encoded by the HIV-1 genome. NMR experiments show that the protein folds into two distinct domains, a transmembrane hydrophobic helix and a cytoplasmic domain… (More)
An NMR method for determining the three-dimensional structures of membrane proteins in proteoliposomes is demonstrated by determining the structure of MerFt, the 60-residue helix-loop-helix integral… (More)
A three-dimensional 1H chemical shift/1H-15N dipolar coupling/15N chemical shift correlation spectrum was obtained on a sample of specifically 15N-labeled magainin peptides oriented in lipid bilayers… (More)
