Legionella pneumophila secretes a mitochondrial carrier protein during infection.

open access: yesPLoS 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

A review on protein based nanocarriers for polyphenols: interaction and stabilization mechanisms

open access: yesFood Innovation and Advances, 2023
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 ...

Engineering an AB5 Protein Carrier [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
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 ...

Insights on the Quest for the Structure–Function Relationship of the Mitochondrial Pyruvate Carrier

open access: yesBiology, 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.

Probing the Phosphopantetheine Arm Conformations of Acyl Carrier Proteins Using Vibrational Spectroscopy

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2014
Acyl carrier proteins (ACPs) are universal and highly conserved domains central to both fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis. These proteins tether reactive acyl intermediates with a swinging 4′-phosphopantetheine (Ppant) arm and interact with a suite ...

Exploiting sulphur-carrier proteins from primary metabolism for 2-thiosugar biosynthesis

open access: yesNature, 2014
Sulphur is an essential element for life and is ubiquitous in living systems. Yet how the sulphur atom is incorporated into many sulphur-containing secondary metabolites is poorly understood.

Ligands and carriers for enhancing immune activity: Mechanisms of action and prospects for applications in medicine and biotechnology

open access: yesМедицинская иммунология
This article provides a comprehensive overview of research focusing on the role of antibodies, cytokines, complement proteins, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) in the immune response and their potential as ...

HetI-Like Phosphopantetheinyl Transferase Posttranslationally Modifies Acyl Carrier Proteins in Xanthomonas spp.

open access: yesMolecular 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

A conserved motif flags Acyl Carrier Proteins for β-branching in polyketide synthesis

open access: yesNature Chemical Biology, 2013
Type I PKSs often utilise programmed β-branching, via enzymes of an “HMG-CoA synthase (HCS) cassette”, to incorporate various side chains at the second carbon from the terminal carboxylic acid of growing polyketide backbones.

Acyl Carrier Protein in Mycoplasmas [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Bacteriology, 1973
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
