Topology models for 37 Saccharomyces cerevisiae membrane proteins based on C-terminal reporter fusions and predictions

J Biol Chem. 2003 Mar 21;278(12):10208-13. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M300163200. Epub 2003 Jan 10.

Abstract

We provide experimentally based topology models for 37 integral membrane proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A C-terminal fusion to a dual Suc2/His4C topology reporter has been used to determine the location of the C terminus of each protein relative to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, and this information is used in conjunction with theoretical topology prediction methods to arrive at a final topology model. We propose that this approach may be used to produce reliable topology models on a proteome-wide scale.
