A histidine‐rich extension of the mitochondrial F0 subunit ATP6 from the ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus increases ATP synthase activity in bacteria

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The glacier ice worm Mesenchytraeus solifugus survives year‐round at 0 °C. Its ATP6 subunit, which forms a regulatory component of the proton pore in mitochondrial ATP synthase, has a carboxy‐terminal extension not found in any other organism examined to date. Here, we show that fusion of this extension to the homologous AtpB protein in E. coli results

Effect of Preparation Methods on Crystallization Behavior and Tensile Strength of Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Membranes

open access: yesMembranes, 2013
Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes were prepared by non solvent induced phase separation (NIPS), melt spinning and the solution-cast method.

Membrane biology: Membrane-regulated transcription [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2000
The activation of membrane-bound transcription factors involves release from the membrane by proteolysis. Recent studies show that, for some proteins, cleavage is performed by the proteasome, whereas others require specific proteases.

Ablation of LRP6 in alpha‐smooth muscle actin‐expressing cells abrogates lung inflammation and fibrosis upon bleomycin‐induced lung injury

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.

Dielectric Properties of Polysulfone Carbon Nanotube Composite Membranes [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2022
Polymeric membranes, including Polysulfone (PSf) membranes, are routinely used for water treatment. To enhance water permeation of above membranes, it is common to synthesize polymeric membranes with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) embedded in them. It is seen that water permeability of membranes having vertically aligned CNTs is higher, as compared to those ...

Adhesion-Induced Lateral Phase Separation in Membranes [PDF]

open access: yesEur. Phys. J. E 3, 259 (2000), 2000
Adhesion between membranes is studied using a phenomenological model, where the inter-membrane distance is coupled to the concentration of sticker molecules on the membranes. The model applies to both for adhesion of two flexible membranes and to adhesion of one flexible membrane onto a second membrane supported on a solid substrate. We mainly consider

RECYCLING OF SECONDARY RAW MILK WHEY DEMINERALIZATION AFTER THE TREATMENT BY REVERSE OSMOSIS

open access: yesВестник Северо-Кавказского федерального университета, 2022
The possibility and the results of laboratory studies with the use of electrodialysis removing minerals from whey have been presented. The technical parameters of the electrodialysis installation (EDR-Z) have been calculated and displayed.

A novel in vitro system of supported planar endosomal membranes (SPEMs) reveals an enhancing role for cathepsin B in the final stage of Ebola virus fusion and entry

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum, 2023
Ebola virus (EBOV) causes a hemorrhagic fever with fatality rates up to 90%. The EBOV entry process is complex and incompletely understood. Following attachment to host cells, EBOV is trafficked to late endosomes/lysosomes where its glycoprotein (GP) is ...

Integrin-mediated membrane blebbing is dependent on the NHE1 and NCX1 activities. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Integrin-mediated signal transduction and membrane blebbing have been well studied to modulate cell adhesion, spreading and migration^1-6^. However, the relationship between membrane blebbing and integrin signaling has not been explored.

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.
