Ammonium and methyl ammonium transport by RhAG

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2012
The erythroid Rh protein (RhAG) is one component of the “Rh complex” that is known for its immunogenic characteristics. Recently, a role of RhAG in transport of ions has been proposed. In this study, we characterized NH 3 /NH 4 ...

Selective Recognition of Quaternary Ammonium Cations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Selective recognition of ammonium cations fundamentally relies on their degree of substitution. In biological systems, proteins can preferentially bind more substituted ammonium cations over less substituted homologues.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Nitrogen isotope discrimination in open-pollinated and hybrid canola suggests indirect selection for enhanced ammonium utilization

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Nitrogen isotope discrimination (Δ15N) may have utility as an indicator of nitrogen use in plants. A simple Δ15N-based isotope mass balance (IMB) model has been proposed to provide estimates of efflux/influx (E/I) ratios across root plasma membranes, the

Carboxylates and the uptake of ammonium by excised maize roots [PDF]

open access: yes, 1975
The effect of carboxylates (organic acid anions) on NH 4 uptake was studied by changing the carboxylate level of roots prior to uptake experi ments. Succinate was the most effective stimulator of ammonium uptake.

Interaction ammonium-nitrate: Response to oxidative stress in chicory plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The aim of this work was to study, as a function of the different availability of nitrogen in the reduced form, mineral and organic, the induction of the synthesis of some ROS-scavenging molecules and the evolution of some enzymatic activities such as ...

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

The effect of simulated nitrogen deposition on soil chemical properties in maple plantation stand [PDF]

open access: yesعلوم محیطی, 2017
Introduction: The amount of nitrogen compounds released into the atmosphere has increased, and is higher in industrial areas due to the increasing usage of fossil fuels and chemical fertilizers (Gruber and Galloway, 2008).
