Many nucleoporins interact with the pore membrane, often via amphipathic helices. Liposome floatation assays are convenient and flexible assays to analyze these protein-membrane interactions and their dependence on specific lipid composition and membrane curvature. We outline here our protocols for the generation of different-sized small unilamellar liposomes of defined lipid compositions and describe how these are employed in floatation assays.

摘要

Many nucleoporins interact with the pore membrane, often via amphipathic helices. Liposome floatation assays are convenient and flexible assays to analyze these protein-membrane interactions and their dependence on specific lipid composition and membrane curvature. We outline here our protocols for the generation of different-sized small unilamellar liposomes of defined lipid compositions and describe how these are employed in floatation assays.
