Role of ABCG1 and other ABCG family members in lipid metabolism

Journal of Lipid Research, 2001
The molecular cloning and identification of mutations in ATP-binding cassette transporters in hereditary diseases have greatly expanded our knowledge of the normal physiology of intracellular lipid transport processes.

Asymmetric conformations and lipid interactions shape the ATP-coupled cycle of a heterodimeric ABC transporter

Nature Communications, 2023
Here we used cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), double electron-electron resonance spectroscopy (DEER), and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to capture and characterize ATP- and substrate-bound inward-facing (IF) and occluded (OC) conformational ...

Structure and Function of Hepatobiliary ATP Binding Cassette Transporters

Chemical Reviews, 2020
The liver is beyond any doubt the most important metabolic organ of the human body. This function requires an intensive crosstalk within liver cellular structures, but also with other organs. Membrane transport proteins are therefore of upmost importance as they represent the sensors and mediators that shuttle signals from outside to the inside of ...

Genetically Engineered IL12/CSF1R‐Macrophage Membrane‐Liposome Hybrid Nanovesicles for NIR‐II Fluorescence Imaging‐Guided and Membrane‐Targeted Mild Photothermal‐Immunotherapy of Glioblastoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A theranostic nanoplatform is formulated with NIR‐II emissive lipophilic cyanine dye IRC18 to intercalate into genetically engineered IL12/CSF1R‐macrophage membrane‐liposome hybrid nanovesicles, which assists to achieve blood–brain barrier crossing, glioblastoma targeting, NIR‐II fluorescence imaging, image‐guided membrane‐targeted mild photothermal ...

Dacomitinib potentiates the efficacy of conventional chemotherapeutic agents via inhibiting the drug efflux function of ABCG2 in vitro and in vivo

Journal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2018
Background ATP-binding cassette subfamily G member 2 (ABCG2), a member of the ABC transporter superfamily proteins, mediates multidrug resistance (MDR) by transporting substrate anticancer drugs out of cancer cells and decreasing their intracellular ...

A reservoir of 'historical' antibiotic resistance genes in remote pristine Antarctic soils [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Soil bacteria naturally produce antibiotics as a competitive mechanism, with a concomitant evolution, and exchange by horizontal gene transfer, of a range of antibiotic resistance mechanisms.

In Vivo Cytosolic Delivery of Biomolecules into Neurons for Super‐Resolution Imaging and Genome Modification

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The N1 peptide specifically targets neurons, enabling cytosolic delivery of fluorescent dyes and proteins for super‐resolution imaging and functional genetic modification. Abstract Efficient delivery of biomolecules into neurons has significant impacts on therapeutic applications in the central nervous system (CNS) and fundamental neuroscience research.

Nucleotide-induced conformational motions and transmembrane gating dynamics in a bacterial ABC transporter [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are integral membrane proteins that mediate the exchange of diverse substrates across membranes powered by ATP hydrolysis. We report results of coarse-grained dynamical simulations performed for the bacterial heme transporter HmuUV.

Novel Bivalent mRNA‐LNP Vaccine for Highly Effective Protection against Pneumonic Plague

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study investigates mRNA‐lipid nanoparticle vaccines targeting Yersinia pestis, the causative agent of plague. Combined F1+LcrV mRNA vaccination elicited robust immune responses and protected mice against virulent wild‐type and atypical strains.

Investigating the mechanism of the E.coli ATP-binding cassette transporter MetNI [PDF]

, 2020
Intracellular chemical homeostasis is vital for cell survival. A key component for the maintenance of this homeostasis is ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters.
