Cation Effects on Protein Conformation and Transport in the Na+/Glucose Cotransporter
Cation-driven cotransporters are essential membrane proteins in procaryotes and eucaryotes, which use the energy of the transmembrane electrochemical gradient to drive transport of a substrate against its concentration gradient. Do they share a common mechanism?

The functions of plant cation/proton antiporters
The cation/H+ exchange is a basic process in transmembrane transport. The acquisition of genome sequences has now established that plants possess genes encoding a large number of cation/proton antiporter 1 (CPA1) proteins, few of which have been ...

Cation-Dependent Binding of Substrate to the Folate Transport Protein of Lactobacillus casei [PDF]
Lactobacillus casei cells grown in the presence of limiting folate contained large amounts of a membrane-associated binding protein which mediates folate transport. Binding to this protein at 4°C was time and concentration dependent and at low levels (1 to 10 nM) of folate required 60 min to reach a steady state.

"In vitro" reconstitution of "trans"-Golgi exit and the effect of GAG attachment on protein sorting [PDF]
The trans-Golgi network is one of the main sorting stations for proteins and lipids in the eukaryotic endomembrane system. Yet, the mechanisms for sorting and transport out of the trans-Golgi network remain poorly understood.

A human transporter protein that mediates the final excretion step for toxic organic cations [PDF]
In mammals, toxic electrolytes of endogenous and exogenous origin are excreted through the urine and bile. Before excretion, these compounds cross numerous cellular membranes in a transporter-mediated manner. However, the protein transporters involved in the final excretion step are poorly understood.

The isolated ER-Golgi intermediate compartment exhibits properties that are different from ER and cis-Golgi [PDF]
A procedure has been established in Vero cells for the isolation of an intermediate compartment involved in protein transport from the ER to the Golgi apparatus. The two-step subcellular fractionation procedure consists of Percoll followed by Metrizamide

Structure of cytosine transport protein CodB provides insight into nucleobase‐cation symporter 1 mechanism [PDF]
Abstract CodB is a cytosine transporter from the Nucleobase‐Cation‐Symport‐1 (NCS1) transporter family, a member of the widespread LeuT superfamily. Previous experiments with the nosocomial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa have shown CodB as also important for the uptake of 5‐
