Crystal structure of an archaeal CorB magnesium transporter
CNNM/CorB proteins are a conserved family of membrane proteins associated with Mg2+ transport. Here, structures of an archaeal CorB protein in apo state and with Mg2+-ATP bound and accompanying biophysical experiments suggest direct Mg2+ transport by ...

Glycosylation can influence topogenesis of membrane proteins and reveals dynamic reorientation of nascent polypeptides within the translocon [PDF]
The topology of multispanning membrane proteins in the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum is thought to be dictated primarily by the first hydrophobic sequence.

The endocytic degradation of plasma membrane proteins can be modulated by deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs). Here, the authors describe two plasma membrane localized Arabidopsis DUBs that can be activated by binding to anionic lipids and influence the ...

Dynamic insertion of membrane proteins at the endoplasmic reticulum [PDF]
Most eukaryotic membrane proteins are cotranslationally integrated into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane by the Sec61 translocation complex. They are targeted to the translocon by hydrophobic signal sequences which induce the translocation of either ...

Studies on interactions of exported "plasmodium falciparum" membrane proteins [PDF]
Responsible for about 700’000 annual deaths worldwide, malaria today is still one of the major health problems in developing countries. The most deadly form of human malaria called malaria tropica is caused by the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium ...

Role of SEC14-like phosphatidylinositol transfer proteins in membrane identity and dynamics
Membrane identity and dynamic processes, that act at membrane sites, provide important cues for regulating transport, signal transduction and communication across membranes.

Evolution of the Membrane Transport Protein Domain
Membrane transport proteins are widely present in all living organisms, however, their function, transported substrate, and mechanism of action are unknown. Here we use diverse bioinformatics tools to investigate the evolution of MTPs, analyse domain organisation and loop topology, and study the comparative alignment of modelled 3D structures.

CDC50 proteins are critical components of the human class-1 P 4-ATPase transport machinery [PDF]
Members of the P4 subfamily of P-type ATPases catalyze phospholipid transport and create membrane lipid asymmetry in late secretory and endocytic compartments.

The survival of Plasmodium spp. within the host red blood cell (RBC) depends on the function of a membrane protein complex, termed the Plasmodium translocon of exported proteins (PTEX), that exports certain parasite proteins, collectively referred to as ...
