A classification of non-permanent membrane proteins (modified from [160])
Type | Examples | References |
---|---|---|
(A) According to the reversibility of the membrane contact | ||
(1) Proteins that interact reversibly with the membrane | Lipid transfer proteins Ceramide-activated protein kinase | [168, 179, 181] |
(2) Proteins with very long-lived (irreversible) contacts | Bacterial toxins (e.g. aerolysin) Blood coagulation factors. | [187, 197] |
(B) According to the nature (strength) of the interaction | ||
(1) Proteins that interact weakly with the membrane (extrinsic-like) | TrwD Protein kinases C | [176] |
(2) Proteins that interact strongly with the membrane: | ||
(2.1) Without covalent modification of the lipid (intrinsic like) | RTX toxins Complement proteins | [196] |
(2.2) With covalent modification of the lipid | Phospholipases Enzymes of lipid metabolism | [182] |
