Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Domain organization of long autotransporter signal sequences [PDF]
, 2010 Bacterial autotransporters represent a diverse family of proteins that autonomously translocate across the inner membrane of Gram-negative bacteria via the Sec complex and across the outer bacterial membrane.

Imaging and 3D reconstruction of membrane protein complexes by cryo-electron microscopy and single particle analysis [PDF]
, 2006 Cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) in combination with single particle image processing and volume reconstruction is a powerful technology to obtain medium-resolution structures of large protein complexes, which are extremely difficult to crystallize and ...

Assembly and targeting of secretins in the bacterial outer membrane
International Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2019 In Gram-negative bacteria, secretion of toxins ensure the survival of the bacterium. Such toxins are secreted by sophisticated multiprotein systems. The most conserved part in some of these secretion systems are components, called secretins, which form the outer membrane ring in these systems. Recent structural studies shed some light on the oligomeric

Engineered Bacterial Outer Membrane Vesicles as Multifunctional Delivery Platforms
Frontiers in Materials, 2020 Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) are valued for their unique, convenient, and amendable functions. They are flexible, controllable nanoparticles, which can be modified in different ways, for use in a wide array of applications like adjuvants, vaccines ...

Structure and function of bacterial dynamin-like proteins [PDF]
, 2012 Membrane dynamics are essential for numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotic cells, membrane fusion and fission are often catalyzed by large GTPases of the dynamin protein family. These proteins couple GTP hydrolysis

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We first identified functional murine mitochondrial N‐formyl peptides (MT‐FPs) and investigated their effects on the in vitro myeloid‐derived suppressor cell (MDSC) generation from bone marrow cells. We demonstrated that MT‐FPs acted directly on bone marrow cells to promote MDSC generation and modulated the polymorphonuclear (PMN)‐MDSC/monocyte (M ...

Cardiolipin Synthesis and Outer Membrane Localization Are Required for
mBio, 2017 Cardiolipin, an anionic phospholipid that resides at the poles of the inner and outer membranes, is synthesized primarily by the putative cardiolipin synthase ClsA in Shigella flexneri. An S.
