Extract

The membrane-spanning portions of many integral membrane proteins consist of one or a number of transmembrane α-helices, which are expected to be independently stable on thermodynamic grounds. Side-by-side interactions between these transmembrane α-helices are important in the folding and assembly of such integral membrane proteins and their complexes. In considering the contribution of these helix–helix interactions to membrane protein folding and oligomerization, a distinction between the energetics and specificity should be recognized. A number of contributions to the energetics of transmembrane helix association within the lipid bilayer will be relatively non-specific, including those resulting from charge–charge interactions and lipid–packing effects. Specificity (and part of the energy) in transmembrane α-helix association, however, appears to rely mainly upon a detailed stereochemical fit between sets of dynamically accessible states of particular helices. In some cases, these interactions are mediated in part by prosthetic groups.
