Computer analyses suggest interactions of non-muscle filamin with lipid membranes

FEBS Lett. 1994 Aug 22;350(2-3):169-72. doi: 10.1016/0014-5793(94)00697-0.

Abstract

It is concluded from structure predictions of the primary amino acid sequence by computer analyses that two segments of non-muscle filamin could facilitate lipid membrane attachment or anchoring. Residues 49-71 of the amino-terminal may attach to phospholipid membranes, and residues 131-155 may anchor in the hydrophobic region of lipid membranes.
