Identification and evolution of dual-topology membrane proteins.

Abstract excerpt

Integral membrane proteins are generally believed to have unique membrane topologies. However, it has been suggested that dual-topology proteins that adopt a mixture of two opposite orientations in the membrane may exist. Here we show that the membrane orientations of five dual-topology candidates identified in Escherichia coli are highly sensitive to changes in the distribution of positively charged residues,...
