Protein glycosylation in the gram-negative gamma proteobacterium photorhabdus luminescens [PDF]
, 2011 The objective of this research was to investigate the possibility that Photorhabdus luminescens produces glycoproteins and thus contains a protein glycosylation system. P. luminescens is a pathogen of insects and a symbiont of soil nematodes.

Membrane curvature regulates the spatial distribution of bulky glycoproteins
Nature Communications, 2022 MUC1 is a heavily glycosylated protein on the cell surface. Here the authors show that MUC1 prefers negative over positive membrane curvature due to its bulky size, enabling MUC1 to avoid endocytosis and surface removal based on curvature preference.

Microscopic simulation of membrane molecule diffusion on corralled membrane surfaces [PDF]
, 2008 The current understanding of how receptors diffuse and cluster in the plasma membrane is limited. Data from single-particle tracking and laser tweezer experiments have suggested that membrane molecule diffusion is affected by the presence of barriers ...

Advances in Virology, 2011 Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is an enveloped RNA virus that assembles and buds from the plasma membrane of infected cells. The ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP) must associate with the viral matrix protein and glycoproteins to form newly ...

Towards Understanding KSHV Fusion and Entry
Viruses, 2019 How viruses enter cells is of critical importance to pathogenesis in the host and for treatment strategies. Over the last several years, the herpesvirus field has made numerous and thoroughly fascinating discoveries about the entry of alpha-, beta-, and ...

Microbiome‐blood–brain barrier interactions in aging — mechanisms and therapeutic potential
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Aging reshapes the gut microbiome (↓SCFA‐producing commensals; ↑pro‐inflammatory outputs), shifting circulating metabolites (↓SCFAs; ↑LPS, ↑TMAO, ↑PAA) that act at the BBB to increase nonspecific transcytosis, alter transport, and promote astrocyte reactivity, heightening brain vulnerability.

Mistargeting of the lectin ERGIC-53 to the endoplasmic reticulum of HeLa cells impairs the secretion of a lysosomal enzyme [PDF]
, 1998 ERGIC-53, a homo-oligomeric recycling protein associated with the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC), has properties of a mannose-selective lectin in vitro, suggesting that it may function as a transport receptor for glycoproteins in the early ...
