Effect of ε-Poly-L-lysine on Postharvest Diseases and Disease-Resistant Substance Metabolism in Passion Fruits [PDF]

Shipin Kexue
In order to investigate the inhibitory effect of ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) on the occurrence of Lasiodiplodia theobromae-induced diseases and its correlation with disease resistance in postharvest passion fruits, harvested golden passion fruits (cv.

Structure and permeability of ion-channels by integrated AFM and waveguide TIRF microscopy. [PDF]

, 2014
Membrane ion channels regulate key cellular functions and their activity is dependent on their 3D structure. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) images 3D structure of membrane channels placed on a solid substrate.

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activities of Chlorogenic Acid Against Yersinia enterocolitica

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Nowadays, developing new and natural compounds with antibacterial activities from plants has become a promising approach to solve antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria. Chlorogenic acid (CA), as a kind of phenolic acid existing in many plants, has

Mechanisms of Action and Cell Death Associated with Clostridium perfringens Toxins. [PDF]

, 2018
Clostridium perfringens uses its large arsenal of protein toxins to produce histotoxic, neurologic and intestinal infections in humans and animals. The major toxins involved in diseases are alpha (CPA), beta (CPB), epsilon (ETX), iota (ITX), enterotoxin (

A Depolarizing Leak in Sodium Bicarbonate Cotransporter NBCe1 Causes Brain Edema

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives SLC4A4 encodes electrogenic sodium bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1, prominently expressed in kidney and brain. Recessive loss‐of‐function variants in SLC4A4 cause proximal renal tubular acidosis, no brain edema. In the brain, NBCe1 is expressed by astrocytes, where it regulates pH and mediates astrocyte volume changes.

Effects of aquaporin-lipid molar ratio on the permeability of an aquaporin Z-phospholipid membrane system.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Aquaporins are water-permeable membrane-channel proteins found in biological cell membranes that selectively exclude ions and large molecules and have high water permeability, which makes them promising candidates for water desalination systems.

A Barrier to Entry: Examining the Bacterial Outer Membrane and Antibiotic Resistance

Applied Sciences, 2023
Gram-negative bacteria can resist antibiotics by changing the permeability via their outer membrane. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that incorporates an outer membrane separating the periplasm from the external environment.

Sphingosine Increases the Permeability of Model and Cell Membranes [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2006
Sphingosine, at 5-15 mol % total lipids, remarkably increases the permeability to aqueous solutes of liposomal and erythrocyte ghost membranes. The increased permeability cannot be interpreted in terms of leakage occurring at the early stages of a putative membrane solubilization by sphingosine, nor is it due to a sphingosine-induced generation of ...
