Understanding the process of envelope glycoprotein incorporation into virions in simian and feline immunodeficiency viruses [PDF]

, 2014
The lentiviral envelope glycoproteins (Env) mediate virus entry by interacting with specific receptors present at the cell surface, thereby determining viral tropism and pathogenesis.

Predicting the conformations of peptides and proteins in early evolution. A review article submitted to Biology Direct [PDF]

, 2008
Considering that short, mainly heterochiral, polypeptides with a high glycine content are expected to have played a prominent role in evolution at the earliest stage of life before nucleic acids were available, we review recent knowledge about ...

Therapeutic Nanobodies Targeting Cell Plasma Membrane Transport Proteins: A High-Risk/High-Gain Endeavor

Biomolecules, 2021
Cell plasma membrane proteins are considered as gatekeepers of the cell and play a major role in regulating various processes. Transport proteins constitute a subclass of cell plasma membrane proteins enabling the exchange of molecules and ions between ...

Identification of Loop D Domain Amino Acids in the Human Aquaporin-1 Channel Involved in Activation of the Ionic Conductance and Inhibition by AqB011

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
Aquaporins are integral proteins that facilitate the transmembrane transport of water and small solutes. In addition to enabling water flux, mammalian Aquaporin-1 (AQP1) channels activated by cyclic GMP can carry non-selective monovalent cation currents,

Glycine, GABA and their transporters in pancreatic islets of Langerhans: evidence for a paracrine transmitter interplay

Journal of Cell Science, 2004
To elucidate the possible roles of the CNS neurotransmitters glycine and GABA in neuroendocrine paracrine signalling, we investigated their localizations, and those of their transport proteins, by confocal immunofluorescence and quantitative post ...

The mitochondrial receptor complex [PDF]

, 1993
The receptor complex in the mitochondrial outer membrane, which consists of at least seven different proteins, is responsible for the recognition and translocation of cytosolically synthesized preproteins.

A Putative Plasma Membrane Na+/H+ Antiporter GmSOS1 Is Critical for Salt Stress Tolerance in Glycine max

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soybean (Glycine max) is a staple crop and a major source of vegetable protein and vegetable oil. The growth of soybean is dramatically inhibited by salt stress, especially by the excessive toxic Na+.
