Destabilizing mutations promote membrane protein misfolding.

Abstract excerpt

In this work, the relationship between stability and propensity to misfold was probed for a series of purified variants of the polytopic integral membrane protein diacylglycerol kinase. It was observed that there was a strong correlation between stability and folding efficiency. The most common mutations that promoted misfolding were those which also destabilized the protein. These results imply that by targeting...
