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.

Acyl carrier protein interacts with melittin

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Lipids and Lipid Metabolism, 1990
Acyl carrier protein (ACP) from Escherichia coli has been shown to form complexes with melittin, a cationic peptide from bee venom. ACP is a small (Mr 8847), acidic, Ca2(+)-binding protein, which possesses some characteristics resembling those of regulatory Ca2(+)-binding proteins including interaction with melittin. Complexing between melittin and ACP

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 ...

Efficacy of Food Proteins as Carriers for Flavonoids

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2012
Enrichment of flavonoids in food is often limited by their off-tastes, which might be counteracted by the use of food proteins as carriers of flavonoids. Various milk proteins, egg proteins, and gelatin hydrolysates were compared for their binding characteristics to two flavan-3-ols.

Structural studies of amino acid:[carrier protein] ligase in the complex with carrier protein [PDF]

The FEBS journal, 2011
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRS) are enzymes responsible for attachment of amino acids to the cognate tRNA molecules, which makes them essential for ribosomal protein biosynthesis. Recent investigations discovered numerous aaRS-like proteins in a wide range of organisms although aaRSs are evolutionary highly conserved.

Macromolecular complexes of amino acid:[carrier protein] ligases and carrier proteins

2012
Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases have well established and fundamental role in protein biosynthesis. They catalyze attachment of amino acids to cognate tRNAs, which are subsequently used as substrates for the ribosomal translation of mRNA. We have recently discovered and characterized bacterial homologs of atypical archaeal seryl-tRNA synthetases (aSerRS ...

Neuropeptide Conjugation to Carrier Proteins

1993
Publisher Summary Neuropeptides are synthesized, stored, and secreted by neurons of the central and peripheral nervous system. A few neuropeptide receptors have been cloned and functionally expressed in frog oocytes; however, in most cases, the mechanism of action is unknown.

Selenium Carrier Proteins in Mouse Plasma

Acta Pharmacologica et Toxicologica, 1974
The selenium carrier proteins in mouse plasma were studied using 75Se‐selenite and a crossed immunoelectrophoresis‐autoradiography.The selenite was not bound to plasma proteins in vitro unless erythrocytes were present. Intravenously administered selenite was attached to the same proteins as the selenite‐Se metabolized by the erythrocytes in vitro.
