Membrane transporter genes predict chemoradiotherapy response in patients with cervical cancer [PDF]
Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women worldwide. Resistance to chemoradiotherapy in cervical cancer has been widely associated with membrane transport-related genes, particularly those encoding efflux transport proteins,

Engineering an AB5 Protein Carrier [PDF]
AbstractThe promise of biologic therapeutics is hindered by the challenge to deliver their activity to biochemically relevant sites within diseased cells. The favourable application of the natural protein carriers of the AB5 toxin family to this challenge has been restricted owing to still unresolved requirements for assembling non-native cargo into ...

A review on protein based nanocarriers for polyphenols: interaction and stabilization mechanisms
Protein has been used as the carrier for protecting and targeting polyphenols and increasing their shelf-life. Interactions of a protein molecule with polyphenols are important, which change functions and physiochemical properties of the complex and ...

Mitochondrial import receptors for precursor proteins [PDF]
The specific targeting of precursor proteins synthesized in the cytosol to various cell organelles is a central aspect of intracellular protein traffic. Several hundred different proteins are imported from the cytosol into the mitochondria.

Legionella pneumophila secretes a mitochondrial carrier protein during infection.
The Mitochondrial Carrier Family (MCF) is a signature group of integral membrane proteins that transport metabolites across the mitochondrial inner membrane in eukaryotes. MCF proteins are characterized by six transmembrane segments that assemble to form

Insights on the Quest for the Structure–Function Relationship of the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier
The molecular identity of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) was presented in 2012, forty years after the active transport of cytosolic pyruvate into the mitochondrial matrix was first demonstrated.

Natural and Induced Mitochondrial Phosphate Carrier Loss: DIFFERENTIAL DEPENDENCE OF MITOCHONDRIAL METABOLISM AND DYNAMICS AND CELL SURVIVAL ON THE EXTENT OF DEPLETION. [PDF]
The relevance of mitochondrial phosphate carrier (PiC), encoded by SLC25A3, in bioenergetics is well accepted. However, little is known about the mechanisms mediating the cellular impairments induced by pathological SLC25A3 variants.

Acyl Carrier Protein in Mycoplasmas [PDF]
Acyl carrier protein (ACP) activity was determined by the malonyl-coenzyme A–CO 2 exchange reaction. It was highest in Acholeplasma laidlawii , lower in A. granularum , and lowest in A. axanthum . The sterol-requiring Mycoplasma
