Dynamics and Regulation of Sec-Facilitated Protein Translocation and Integral Membrane Protein Insertion

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: Dynamics and Regulation of Sec-Facilitated Protein Translocation and Integral Membrane Protein Insertion

Full Summary: No summary paragraph submitted.

School of Physics Soft Condensed Matter and Biophysics Series: Professor Tom Miller, Caltech

The Sec translocon is a central component of cellular pathways for protein translocation and membrane integration.  Using both atomistic and coarse-grained molecular simulations, we investigate the conformational landscape of the translocon and explore the role of peptide substrates in the regulation of the translocation and integration pathways.   Implications of these results for the regulation of Sec-mediated pathways for protein translocation and membrane integration are discussed.
