Insights on the Quest for the Structure–Function Relationship of the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier
Biology, 2020 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.

Transport proteins (carriers) of mitochondria [PDF]
IUBMB Life, 2008 AbstractMitochondria are subcellular structures essential to the aerobic eukaryotic cell. Their role extends much beyond their basic reactions of oxidative phosphorylation. It encompasses the steps critical for cellular metabolic pathways, for apoptosis, and for other processes such as antiviral signaling.

Legionella pneumophila secretes a mitochondrial carrier protein during infection.
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 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

Recent Advances in Bioconjugate Vaccine Development
VaccinesGlycoconjugate vaccines, consisting of a protein component covalently linked to a glycan antigen, have led to a significant reduction in the global occurrence of bacterial meningitis and pneumonia. They provide robust, lasting immunity in all age groups.

Subcellular localization of the mosquito sterol carrier protein-2 and sterol carrier protein-x [PDF]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2004 Subcellular distribution of Aedes aegypti sterol carrier protein-2 (AeSCP-2) and AeSCP-x was studied using electron microscopy. In both cultured A. aegypti cells and in the larval midgut, AeSCP-2 was detected mostly in the cytosol, with some labeling mitochondria and nucleus, but not in membranous vesicles. The widespread distribution of AeSCP-2 in the

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2022 In Xanthomonas spp., the biosynthesis of the yellow pigment xanthomonadin and fatty acids originates in the type II polyketide synthase (PKS II) and fatty acid synthase (FAS) pathways, respectively. The acyl carrier protein (ACP) is the central component

An Overview on Spray-Drying of Protein-Loaded Polymeric Nanoparticles for Dry Powder Inhalation
Pharmaceutics, 2020 The delivery of therapeutic proteins remains a challenge, despite recent technological advances. While the delivery of proteins to the lungs is the gold standard for topical and systemic therapy through the lungs, the issue still exists.

Vaccines, 2023 Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that affects the central nervous system, specifically the motor system. It is mainly caused by the loss of dopamine due to the accumulation of α-synuclein (α-syn) protein in the striatum and

Acyl Carrier Protein Cyanylation Delivers a Ketoacyl Synthase–Carrier Protein Cross-Link [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2017 Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are central hubs in polyketide and fatty acid biosynthetic pathways, but the fast motions of the ACP's phosphopantetheine (Ppant) arm make its conformational dynamics difficult to capture using traditional spectroscopic approaches.
