Rampant exchange of the structure and function of extramembrane domains between membrane and water soluble proteins.

Of the membrane proteins of known structure, we found that a remarkable 67% of the water soluble domains are structurally similar to water soluble proteins of known structure. Moreover, 41% of known water soluble protein structures share a domain with an already known membrane protein structure. We...
