Positively charged residues located near the cytoplasmic end of hydrophobic segments in membrane proteins promote membrane insertion and formation of transmembrane alpha-helices. A quantitative understanding of this effect has been lacking, however. Here, using an in vitro transcription-translation system to study the insertion of model hydrophobic segments into dog pancreatic rough microsomes, we show that a single Lys or Arg residue typically contributes approximately -0.5 kcal/mol to the apparent free energy of membrane insertion (DeltaG(app)) when placed near the cytoplasmic end of a hydrophobic segment and that stretches of 3-6 Lys residues can contribute significantly to DeltaG(app) from a distance of up to approximately 13 residues away.
