Protein sorting to mitochondria [PDF]
, 1990 According to the endosymbiont hypothesis, mitochondria have lost the autonomy of their prokaryotic ancestors. They have to import most of their proteins from the cytosol because the mitochondrial genome codes for only a small percentage of the ...

Outer Membrane Vesicles as Mediators of Plant–Bacterial Interactions
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 Plants have co-evolved with diverse microorganisms that have developed different mechanisms of direct and indirect interactions with their host. Recently, greater attention has been paid to a direct “message” delivery pathway from bacteria to plants ...

Trapped lipopolysaccharide and LptD intermediates reveal lipopolysaccharide translocation steps across the Escherichia coli outer membrane [PDF]
, 2015 Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is a main component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, which is essential for the vitality of most Gram-negative bacteria and plays a critical role for drug resistance.

The role of bacterial secretion systems in the virulence of Gram-negative airway pathogens associated with cystic fibrosis [PDF]
, 2016 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common lethal inherited disorder in Caucasians. It is caused by mutation of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene.

Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles Induce Plant Immune Responses
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2016 Gram-negative bacteria continuously pinch off portions of their outer membrane, releasing membrane vesicles. These outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are involved in multiple processes including cell-to-cell communication, biofilm formation, stress tolerance,

Enzymology of lipid A palmitoylation in bacterial outer membranes [PDF]
Journal of Endotoxin Research, 2004 The enzymology of palmitate addition to lipid A can be traced to the early discovery of monosaccharide lipid A precursors, but the functional importance of lipid A palmitoylation in bacterial resistance to the host immune response has emerged only recently.

The Varied Role of Efflux Pumps of the MFS Family in the Interplay of Bacteria with Animal and Plant Cells [PDF]
, 2019 Efflux pumps represent an important and large group of transporter proteins found in all organisms. The importance of efflux pumps resides in their ability to extrude a wide range of antibiotics, resulting in the emergence of multidrug resistance in many
