An Efficient Strategy for Small-Scale Screening and Production of Archaeal Membrane Transport Proteins in Escherichia coli

PLoS ONE, 2013
Background Membrane proteins play a key role in many fundamental cellular processes such as transport of nutrients, sensing of environmental signals and energy transduction, and account for over 50% of all known drug targets.

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 ...

Targeting nuclear transporters in cancer: Diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic potential [PDF]

, 2016
The Karyopherin superfamily is a major class of soluble transport receptors consisting of both import and export proteins. The trafficking of proteins involved in transcription, cell signalling and cell cycle regulation among other functions across the ...

Influence of water models on water movement through AQP1 [PDF]

, 2021
Water diffusion through membrane proteins is a key aspect of cellular function. Essential processes of cellular metabolism are driven by osmotic pressure, which depends on water channels. Membrane proteins such as aquaporins (AQPs) are responsible for enabling water transport through the cell membrane. AQPs are highly selective, allowing only water and

Exploring the biochemistry at the extracellular redox frontier of bacterial mineral Fe(III) respiration [PDF]

, 2012
Many species of the bacterial Shewanella genus are notable for their ability to respire in anoxic environments utilizing insoluble minerals of Fe(III) and Mn(IV) as extracellular electron acceptors.

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.

A dynamic model of the mitochondrial protein import machinery [PDF]

, 1992
Many proteins are translocated into or across two mem-branes in order to reach their functional destination; these include many nuclear-encoded mitochondrial and chloro-plast proteins, as well as proteins transported into or across the outer membrane of ...

Plasma Membrane-Located Purine Nucleotide Transport Proteins Are Key Components for Host Exploitation by Microsporidian Intracellular Parasites

PLoS Pathogens, 2014
Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites of most animal groups including humans, but despite their significant economic and medical importance there are major gaps in our understanding of how they exploit infected host cells.

Phosphoproteomic analysis reveals major default phosphorylation sites outside long intrinsically disordered regions of Arabidopsis plasma membrane proteins

Proteome Science, 2012
Background Genome-wide statistics established that long intrinsically disordered regions (over 30 residues) are predicted in a large part of proteins in all eukaryotes, with a higher ratio in trans-membrane proteins.
