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

The E. coli BtuCD Structure: A Framework for ABC Transporter Architecture and Mechanism [PDF]
The ABC transporters are ubiquitous membrane proteins that couple adenosine triphosphate (ATP) hydrolysis to the translocation of diverse substrates across cell membranes.

Twenty years of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters [PDF]
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters constitute a large superfamily of primary active transport systems, which play a diversity of physiological roles, and are found in all cells of all kingdoms [3]. The year 2006 marks the 20th anniversary of the identification of this superfamily of proteins in 1986 [4].

Peptides and ATP binding cassette peptide transporters [PDF]
In this review our knowledge of ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters specific for peptides is discussed. Besides serving a role in nutrition of the cell, the systems participate in various signaling processes that allow (micro)organisms to monitor the local environment. In bacteria, these include regulation of gene expression, competence development,

Involvement of the leaf-specific multidrug and toxic compound extrusion (MATE) transporter Nt-JAT2 in vacuolar sequestration of nicotine in Nicotiana tabacum [PDF]
Alkaloids play a key role in higher plant defense against pathogens and herbivores. Following its biosynthesis in root tissues, nicotine, the major alkaloid of Nicotiana species, is translocated via xylem transport toward the accumulation sites, leaf ...
