Role of lipid transporters in fungal physiology and pathogenicity
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2019 The fungal cell wall and membrane are the most common targets of antifungal agents, but the potential of membrane lipid organization in regulating drug-target interactions has yet to be investigated. Energy-dependent lipid transporters have been recently

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Cold surges result in a rapid drop in air temperature and freezing of seawater, which was likely to impact bacterial communities. We examined the differences in bacteria abundance and bacterial community composition in the sea ice and seawater during a ...

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

ABC transporters: Lessons from a bacterial oligopeptide uptake system [PDF]
, 2006 ABC transporters are proteins that are involved in the uptake of nutrients and excretion of harmful substances in biological cells. Defects in human ABC transporters can result in severe diseases.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Annals of Thoracic Medicine, 2012 The CFTR gene is unique within the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) protein family, predominantly of transporters, by coding a chloride channel. The gating mechanism of ABC proteins has been characterized by the ATP Switch model in terms cycles of dimer ...

Der katalytische Zyklus der Nukleotid-bindenden Domäne des ABC-Transporters HlyB [PDF]
, 2005 Nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), roughly 27 kDa in size, are conservative components of the large family of ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters, which includes importers, exporters, and receptors.

Strict coupling between CFTR's catalytic cycle and gating of its Cl- ion pore revealed by distributions of open channel burst durations [PDF]
, 2010 CFTR, the ABC protein defective in cystic fibrosis, functions as an anion channel. Once phosphorylated by protein kinase A, a CFTR channel is opened and closed by events at its two cytosolic nucleotide binding domains (NBDs).

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Human ABCE1 cannot functionally replace its yeast ortholog. Yeast–human chimera analysis identified NBD1 as a major interspecies barrier. Genetic screening yielded hABCE1 revertants that rescue yeast viability but fail to suppress aberrant translation reinitiation in the 3′ UTR.

Molecular Mechanism of Ochratoxin A Transport in the Kidney
Toxins, 2010 The mycotoxin, ochratoxin A (OTA), is thought to be responsible for Balkan endemic nephropathy. OTA accumulates in several tissues, especially in the kidneys and liver.
