Syntaxin 16 and syntaxin 5 are required for efficient retrograde transport of several exogenous and endogenous cargo proteins [PDF]
Retrograde transport allows proteins and lipids to leave the endocytic pathway to reach other intracellular compartments, such as trans-Golgi network (TGN)/Golgi membranes, the endoplasmic reticulum and, in some instances, the cytosol. Here, we have used

The sodium-dependent D-glucose transport protein of Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is a gram-negative pathogenic microaerophile with a particular tropism for the mucosal surface of the gastric epithelium. Despite its obligatory microaerophilic character, it can metabolize D-glucose and/or D-galactose in both ...

Bacterial porin disrupts mitochondrial membrane potential and sensitizes host cells to apoptosis
The bacterial PorB porin, an ATP-binding beta-barrel protein of pathogenic Neisseria gonorrhoeae, triggers host cell apoptosis by an unknown mechanism. PorB is targeted to and imported by host cell mitochondria, causing the breakdown of the mitochondrial

Arsenic transport in plants [PDF]
Arsenic (As), a metalloid occurring ubiquitously in nature in organic and inorganic forms, is classified as a potent carcinogen. Among the inorganic forms which are more toxic, AsIII has a high affinity to bind with sulfhydryl groups of the amino acid ...

Nitrate transport and assimilation in Aspergillus nidulans
In this study, several aspects of nitrate assimilation and transport have been studied using the filamentous fungus Aspergillus nidulans, which has been shown to be safe laboratory organism as judged by it’s pathogenicity towards insect larvae.
