Analysis of tryptic digests indicates regions of GvpC that bind to gas vesicles of Anabaena flos-aquae

, 2006
The gas vesicles of the cyanobacterium Anabaena flos-aquae contain two main proteins: GvpA, which forms the ribs of the hollow cylindrical shell, and GvpC, which occurs on the outer surface.

Ultrasound‐Mediated Biotransfection of Engineered Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Treated Bone Defects through Intracellular Cavitation

Advanced Science
The lack of stem cells and difficulty in osteogenic differentiation are the primary challenges to treating bone defects. Stem cell gene therapy can efficiently replenish the number of stem cells and facilitate bone differentiation, but its security and ...

A Pipeline for Segmentation and Structural Feature Extraction in Cryo-EM Single Particle Analysis of Gas Vesicles

, 2023
Gas vesicles, micrometer-scale protein structures that function as bacterial buoyancy providers, encapsulate gas in a highly optimized manner. While their atomic structure has been elucidated through single-particle analysis of cryo-EM images, certain ...

Analysis of gas vesicle gene expression in Haloferax mediterranei reveals that GvpA and GvpC are both gas vesicle structural proteins

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1993
Gas vesicle synthesis in Haloferax mediterranei involves several gene products encoded by a 9.4-kilobase pair DNA region (mc-vac region) that contains 13 genes in addition to gvpA encoding the major structural gas vesicle protein. The expression of part of this region, encompassing the genes gvpA, gvpC, gvpN, and gvpO was investigated.

Bacterial microcompartments: catalysis-enhancing metabolic modules for next generation metabolic and biomedical engineering

BMC Biology, 2019
Bacterial cells have long been thought to be simple cells with little spatial organization, but recent research has shown that they exhibit a remarkable degree of subcellular differentiation. Indeed, bacteria even have organelles such as magnetosomes for
