Plasma membrane compartmentation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
, 2009 In the plasma membrane of cells the complex variety of components is sorted into subcompartments, microdomains and nanoclusters. We only begin to understand the principles of this higher order.

Evolution of the Membrane Transport Protein Domain
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 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.

Cation permeability in CorA family of proteins
Scientific Reports, 2020 CorA proteins belong to 2-TM-GxN family of membrane proteins, and play a major role in Mg2+ transport in prokaryotes and eukaryotic mitochondria. The selection of substrate is believed to occur via the signature motif GxN, however there is no consensus ...

Glycosylation can influence topogenesis of membrane proteins and reveals dynamic reorientation of nascent polypeptides within the translocon [PDF]
, 1999 The topology of multispanning membrane proteins in the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum is thought to be dictated primarily by the first hydrophobic sequence.

The role of GRASP65 and GRASP55 in C-terminal valine-dependent transport to the cell surface of transmembrane proteins [PDF]
, 2008 The Golgi-matrix proteins GRASP65 and GRASP55 have recognized roles in maintaining the architecture of the Golgi complex, in mitotic progression and in unconventional protein secretion while, surprisingly, they have been shown to be dispensable for the ...

Legionella pneumophila secretes a mitochondrial carrier protein during infection.
PLoS Pathogens, 2012 The Mitochondrial Carrier Family (MCF) is a signature group of integral membrane proteins that transport metabolites across the mitochondrial inner membrane in eukaryotes. MCF proteins are characterized by six transmembrane segments that assemble to form

ORP1L, ORP1S, and ORP2: Lipid Sensors and Transporters
Contact, 2020 Lipid transfer proteins are crucial for intracellular cholesterol trafficking at sites of membrane contact. In the OSBP/ORPs (oxysterol binding protein and OSBP-related proteins) family of lipid transfer proteins, ORP1L, ORP1S and ORP2 play important ...

Membrane glycine transport proteins
Journal of Biomedical Science, 2003 Structurally, the simplest amino acid is glycine, and it has a number of important yet distinct functions in the body. This review focuses on the different transport systems and the associated carrier proteins for glycine that are responsible for its movement across biological membranes.

Membrane transport proteins of the malaria parasite [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2009 SummaryThe malaria parasite‐infected erythrocyte is a multi‐compartment structure, incorporating numerous different membrane systems. The movement of nutrients, metabolites and inorganic ions into and out of the intraerythrocytic parasite, as well as between subcellular compartments within the parasite, is mediated by transporters and channels ...
