Abstract

The topology of polytopic membrane proteins is determined by topogenic sequences in the protein, protein-translocon interactions, and interactions during folding within the protein and between the protein and the lipid environment. Orientation of transmembrane domains is dependent on membrane phospholipid composition during initial assembly as well as on changes in lipid composition postassembly. The membrane translocation potential of negative amino acids working in opposition to the positive-inside rule is largely dampened by the normal presence of phosphatidylethanolamine, thus explaining the dominance of positive residues as retention signals. Phosphatidylethanolamine provides the appropriate charge density that permits the membrane surface to maintain a charge balance between membrane translocation and retention signals and also allows the presence of negative residues in the cytoplasmic face of proteins for other purposes.
