Import of Carrier Proteins into Mitochondria

Biological Chemistry, 1999
AbstractCarrier proteins located in the inner membrane of mitochondria are responsible for the exchange of metabolites between the intermembrane space and the matrix of this organelle. All members of this family are nuclear-encoded and depend on translocation machineries for their import into mitochondria.

Secretory carrier membrane proteins

Protoplasma, 2011
Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs) are a family of integral membrane proteins that play roles in mediating exocytosis in animal cells. However, relatively little is known about the subcellular localization, trafficking, and function of SCAMPs in plants.

Sterol carrier protein-2

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular and Cell Biology of Lipids, 2000
The compartmentalization of cholesterol metabolism implies target-specific cholesterol trafficking between the endoplasmic reticulum, plasma membrane, lysosomes, mitochondria and peroxisomes. One hypothesis has been that sterol carrier protein-2 (SCP2, also known as the non-specific lipid transfer protein) acts in cholesterol transport through the ...

The structural role of the carrier protein – active controller or passive carrier

Natural Product Reports, 2012
Common to all FASs, PKSs and NRPSs is a remarkable component, the acyl or peptidyl carrier protein (A/PCP). These take the form of small individual proteins in type II systems or discrete folded domains in the multi-domain type I systems and are characterized by a fold consisting of three major α-helices and between 60-100 amino acids.

Sterol carrier and lipid transfer proteins

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1985
The discovery of the sterol carrier and lipid transfer proteins was largely a result of the findings that cells contained cytosolic factors which were required either for the microsomal synthesis of cholesterol or which could accelerate the transfer or exchange of phospholipids between membrane preparations.

Liposomes as Protein Carriers in Immunology

Journal of Liposome Research, 2004
Liposomes are excellent carriers for protein antigens since they can contain large amounts of antigen, potentially in association with adjuvants. Liposomes may be made to mimic the pathogens that stimulated the evolution of the immune system. As such, numerous mechanisms exist to promote their uptake by antigen presenting cells and exposure of ...

Chitosan-Alginate Microparticles as a Protein Carrier

Drug Development and Industrial Pharmacy, 2001
The oral administration of peptidic drugs requires their protection from degradation in the gastric environment and the improvement of their absorption in the intestinal tract. For these requirements, a microsystem based on cross-linked alginate as the carrier of bovine serum albumin (BSA), used as a model protein, was proposed.

Molecular biology of carrier proteins

Cell, 1993
ferent presentations and approaches was the need for more information on the structure and membrane topology of these proteins. It is evident that the hard-won knowledge of the detailed functional properties of these proteins will only lead to genuine insights when our structural informa- tion is comparably advanced.

Transport and Carrier Proteins

2021
Apoprotein (Apo) is the major protein component of lipoprotein that determines its properties. Apolipoproteins are generally divided into 5–7 types. Most of their amino acid sequences have been determined. The types of apolipoproteins are named according to the classification system suggested by Alaupovic in 1972. The types are encoded with the English

Dialectics in carrier research: The ADP/ATP carrier and the uncoupling protein

Journal of Bioenergetics and Biomembranes, 1993
A concise review is given of the research in our laboratory on the ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) and the uncoupling protein (UCP). Although homologous proteins, their widely different functions and contrasts are stressed. The pioneer role of research on the AAC, not only for the mitochondrial but also for other carriers, and the present state of their ...
