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
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-step pathway, whereby the metal insertion reaction is the ultimate reaction step here. Moco and its

Transport of Proteins into Mitochondria. Posttranslational Transfer of ADP/ATP Carrier into Mitochondria in vitro [PDF]
The mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier is an integral transmembrane protein of the inner membrane. It is synthesized on cytoplasmic ribosomes. Kinetic data suggested that this protein is transferred into mitochondria in a posttranslational manner.

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 ...

Carrier Proteins Facilitate the Generation of Antipolysaccharide Immunity via Multiple Mechanisms. [PDF]
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.

Predicting substrates for orphan solute carrier proteins using multi-omics datasets. [PDF]
Solute carriers (SLC) are integral membrane proteins responsible for transporting a wide variety of metabolites, signaling molecules and drugs across cellular membranes. Despite key roles in metabolism, signaling and pharmacology, around one third of SLC
