Organellar proteomics: the prizes and pitfalls of opening the nuclear envelope [PDF]
Proteomic studies have the potential to comprehensively define the composition of organelles but are limited by the organellar cross-contamination that arises during subcellular fractionation.

Peptidoglycan Remodeling Enables
Gram-negative bacteria have a tripartite cell envelope with the cytoplasmic membrane (CM), a stress-bearing peptidoglycan (PG) layer, and the asymmetric outer membrane (OM) containing lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in the outer leaflet.

A single site for N-linked glycosylation in the envelope glycoprotein of feline immunodeficiency virus modulates the virus-receptor interaction [PDF]
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) targets helper T cells by attachment of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) to CD134, a subsequent interaction with CXCR4 then facilitating the process of viral entry.

The Virus Envelope in Cell Attachment
The mechanism of penetration and uncoating of enveloped animal viruses has recently been the subject of renewed controversy. Electron microscopic studies have led a number of investigators to conclude that penetration takes place by cellular engulfment (viropexis) of intact virus particles (Dales & Choppin, 1962; Mussgay & Weibel, 1962; Dales, 1963 ...

The bacterial cell envelope [PDF]
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, a draper from Delft, using a tiny homemade microscope, first described microbes or ‘animalcules’ in a number of letters to the Royal Society. The letters specifically describe ‘animalcules’ in pepper water in 1676 (published 1677). The famous drawing of a swimming animalcule from a scraping of his teeth was in a letter of 1684 (

Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis 2020: Where We Stand
The control of tuberculosis (TB) is hampered by the emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strains, defined as resistant to at least isoniazid and rifampin, the two bactericidal drugs essential for the treatment of the ...

Solute channels of the outer membrane: from bacteria to chloroplasts [PDF]
Chloroplasts, unique organelles of plants, originated from endosymbiosis of an ancestor of today's cyanobacteria with a mitochondria-containing host cell. It is assumed that the outer envelope membrane, which delimits the chloroplast from the surrounding

Dynamic rearrangement of nucleoporins during fungal "open" mitosis [PDF]
Mitosis in animals starts with the disassembly of the nuclear pore complexes and the breakdown of the nuclear envelope. In contrast to many fungi, the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis also removes the nuclear envelope.

Anti-tuberculosis drug development via targeting the cell envelope of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis possesses a dynamic cell envelope, which consists of a peptidoglycan layer, a mycolic acid layer, and an arabinogalactan polysaccharide.

Pseudotyping Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV): F Proteins from Group II NPVs are functionally analogous to AcMNPV GP64 [PDF]
GP64, the major envelope glycoprotein of budded virions of the baculovirus Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (AcMNPV), is involved in viral attachment, mediates membrane fusion during virus entry, and is required for efficient ...
