Structural basis for the mechanism of ABC transporters. [PDF]

, 2015
The ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are primary transporters that couple the energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to the movement of molecules across the membrane.

The structural basis for regulation of the glutathione transporter Ycf1 by regulatory domain phosphorylation

Nature Communications, 2022
Ycf1, a C-family member ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter, transports glutathione and glutathione-metal complexes in yeast. Here the authors use cryo-EM and biochemical analysis to show how an intrinsically-disordered regulatory domain (R-domain ...

The Allosteric Regulatory Mechanism of the Escherichia coli MetNI Methionine ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) Transporter [PDF]

, 2015
The MetNI methionine importer of Escherichia coli, an ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) transporter, uses the energy of ATP binding and hydrolysis to catalyze the high affinity uptake of D- and L-methionine.

Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome Promotes Foam Cell Formation in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Atherogenesis Via HMGB1

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background This study aimed at investigating whether NLRP3 (the Nod like receptor family, pyrin domain‐containing 3 protein) inflammasome activation induced HMGB1 (high mobility group box‐1 protein) secretion and foam cell formation in human vascular ...

Cryo-EM structures of the ABCA4 importer reveal mechanisms underlying substrate binding and Stargardt disease

Nature Communications, 2021
ABCA4 is an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter that flips N-retinylidenephosphatidylethanolamine (N-Ret-PE) to the cytoplasmic leaflet of photoreceptor membranes. ABCA4 mutations are associated with loss of vision.

Thematic Review Series: Lipid Transfer Proteins ABCG5 and ABCG8: more than a defense against xenosterols

Journal of Lipid Research, 2018
The elucidation of the molecular basis of the rare disease, sitosterolemia, has revolutionized our mechanistic understanding of how dietary sterols are excreted and how cholesterol is eliminated from the body.

ATP-binding cassette transporter A1: From metabolism to neurodegeneration

Neurobiology of Disease, 2014
ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) mediates cholesterol efflux to lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I) and apolipoprotein E (apoE). ABCA1 is an essential regulator of high density lipoproteins (HDL) and reverse cholesterol transport — a role ...

ATP-Binding Cassette Transporters, Atherosclerosis, and Inflammation [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2014
Although recent genome-wide association studies have called into question the causal relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease, ongoing research in animals and cells has produced increasing evidence that cholesterol efflux pathways mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and HDL ...

Stanol esters decrease plasma cholesterol independently of intestinal ABC sterol transporters and Niemann-Pick C1-like 1 protein gene expression

Journal of Lipid Research, 2004
Possible mechanisms for the cholesterol-lowering effects of plant stanol esters were addressed by feeding hamsters diets containing stanol esters, cholesterol, or cholestyramine/lovastatin.
