Structure, function and dynamics in acyl carrier proteins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2019 Carrier proteins are four-helix bundles that covalently hold metabolites and secondary metabolites, such as fatty acids, polyketides and non-ribosomal peptides.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1969 Abstract Holo acyl carrier protein synthetase transfers 4'-phosphopantetheine from reduced coenzyme A to acyl carrier protein (ACP) apoprotein to form ACP holoprotein (holo-ACP). The specificity of this enzyme was tested by using apopeptides derived from ACP. The apopeptides were derived from holopeptides, those containing 4'-phosphopantetheine, by the

Moco Carrier and Binding Proteins
Molecules, 2022 The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is the active site prosthetic group found in numerous vitally important enzymes (Mo-enzymes), which predominantly catalyze 2 electron transfer reactions. Moco is synthesized by an evolutionary old and highly conserved multi-

Carrier Proteins Facilitate the Generation of Antipolysaccharide Immunity via Multiple Mechanisms [PDF]
mBio, 2022 Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) are important antigenic targets against bacterial infections. As T-independent antigens, however, CPSs elicit short-lived immune responses in adults and are poorly immunogenic in young children.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1972 β-Ketoacyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) synthetase catalyzes the chain elongation step of fatty acid biosynthesis, the condensation of fatty acyl-ACP with malonyl-ACP yielding β-ketoacyl-ACP, CO2, and ACP. This enzyme catalyzes two additional reactions, fatty acyl-CoA-ACP transacylation and the decarboxylation of malonyl-ACP to form acetyl-ACP and CO2 ...

Mass spectral determination of phosphopantetheinylation specificity for carrier proteins in Mycobacterium tuberculosis [PDF]
FEBS Open Bio, 2016 Phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTases) are key elements in the modular syntheses performed by multienzyme systems such as polyketide synthases.

Presentation matters: Impact of association of amphiphilic LPS with serum carrier proteins on innate immune signaling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Recognition of Pathogen-associated Molecular Patterns (PAMPs) by Toll-like receptors is central to innate immunity. Many bacterial PAMPs such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid have amphiphilic properties. The hydrophobicity of amphiphilic

Carriers and Antigens: New Developments in Glycoconjugate Vaccines
Vaccines, 2023 Glycoconjugate vaccines have proven their worth in the protection and prevention of infectious diseases. The introduction of the Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccine is the prime example, followed by other glycoconjugate vaccines.

Pathophysiology of sepsis‐induced cholestasis: A review
JGH Open, 2022 Sepsis is a critical condition resulting from the excessive activation of the inflammatory/immune system in response to an infection, with high mortality if treatment is not administered promptly. One of the many possible complications of sepsis is liver
