Signal peptides of secretary proteins interact with various membranes and non-membrane components during the translocation. We investigated the interaction of signal peptides of ribose binding protein (RBP) with Escherichia coli (E.coli) signal recognition particle (SRP), SecA and lipid bilayer. Previous studies showed that the functional signal peptides inhibit the GTPase activity of E.coli SRP which consisted of F로 and 4.5S RNA.(omitted)

Change of membrane property can affect the activity of membrane proteins. In this work, we investigated the single channel properties of large conductance $Ca^{2+}$-activated $K^{+}$(BK) channels in planar lipid bilayers of different thickness. First, we recorded the activity of single BK channels from rat skeletal muscle incorporated into the control bilayer, then increased the bilayer thickness by perfusing the recording solution with the one saturated with n-pentane, or reduced the thickness by adding diheptanoylphosphatidylcholine (di$C_{7:0}$PC) to the recording soluton.(omitted)

160nm thick amorphous Si and polycrystalline Si were each deposited on to 10nm thick SiO$_2$, Co monolayer and Co/Ti bilayer were sequentially evaporated to form Co-polycide. Then MOS capacitors were fabricated by BF$_2$ ion-implantation. The characteristics of the fabricated capacitor samples depending upon the drive-in annel conductions were measured to study the effects of thermal stability of CoSi$_2$and dopant redistribution on electrical properties of Co-polycide gates. Results for capacitors using Co/Ti bilayer and drive-in annealed at 80$0^{\circ}C$ for 20~40sec. showed excellent C-V characteristics of gate electrode.

Cytochrome c induces fusion of phosphatidylserine /phosphatidylethanolamine vesicles while apocytochrome c does not have a fusogenic capability despite the fact that the apoprotein binds to the vesicles more extensively. In order to see whether the difference in the fusogenic behavior comes from the topological variation in membrane bound proteins, the holoprotein and apoprotein were labeled with phenylisothiocyanate, a hydrophobic label, in the presence of its hydrophilic analogue p-sulfophenylisothiocyanate. Apocytochrome c was labeled with the hydrophobic probe more extensively than the cytochrome c, indicating that the apoprotein penetrates deeper into the bilayer than cytochrome c does. The translocation experiments of these proteins by trypsin entrapped vesicles further supported this conclusion.

For mechanical force to induce changes in cellular behaviors, two main processes are inevitable; perception of the force and response to it. Perception of mechanical force by cells, or mechanosensing, requires mechanical force-induced conformational changes in mechanosensors. For this, at least one end of the mechanosensors should be anchored to relatively fixed structures, such as extracellular matrices or the cytoskeletons, while the other end should be pulled along the direction of the mechanical force. Alternatively, mechanosensors may be positioned in lipid bilayers, so that conformational changes in the embedded sensors can be induced by mechanical force-driven tension in the lipid bilayer. Responses to mechanical force by cells, or mechanotransduction, require translation of such mechanical force-induced conformational changes into biochemical signaling. For this, protein-protein interactions or enzymatic activities of mechanosensors should be modulated in response to force-induced structural changes. In the last decade, several molecules that met the required criteria of mechanosensors have been identified and proven to directly sense mechanical force. The present review introduces examples of such mechanosensors and summarizes their mechanisms of action.
