Structural divergence of paralogous S components from ECF-type ABC transporters [PDF]
, 2012 Energy coupling factor (ECF) proteins are ATP-binding cassette transporters involved in the import of micronutrients in prokaryotes. They consist of two nucleotide-binding subunits and the integral membrane subunit EcfT, which together form the ECF ...

Protein trafficking through the endosomal system prepares intracellular parasites for a home invasion [PDF]
, 2013 Toxoplasma (toxoplasmosis) and Plasmodium (malaria) use unique secretory organelles for migration, cell invasion, manipulation of host cell functions, and cell egress. In particular, the apical secretory micronemes and rhoptries of apicomplexan parasites

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2014 Cells transport integral membrane proteins between organelles by sorting them into vesicles. Cargo adaptors act to recognize sorting signals in transmembrane cargos and to interact with coat complexes that aid in vesicle biogenesis. No coat proteins have

Export of honeybee prepromelittin in Escherichia coli depends on the membrane potential but does not depend on proteins secA and secY [PDF]
, 1989 Honeybee prepromelittin (70 amino acid residues), the precursor of an eukaryotic secretory protein, and a hybrid protein between prepromelittin and mouse dihydrofolate reductase (257 amino acid residues) were expressed in Escherichia coli and ...

Impact of an electric field on P-type ATPases [PDF]
, 2008 P-type ATPases are membrane proteins acting as ion pumps that drive an active transport of cations across the membrane against a concentration gradient. The required energy for the ion transport is provided by binding and hydrolysis of ATP.

Stimulation of a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase by insulin and the sulfonylurea, glimepiride, in rat adipocytes depends on increased glucose transport [PDF]
, 1994 . Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and glycolipidanchored cAMP-binding ectoprotein (Gcel) are modified by glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) in rat adipocytes, however, the linkage is potentially unstable. Incubation of the cells with either insulin (0.1-30 nM)

Conserved Residues R420 and Q428 in a Cytoplasmic Loop of the Citrate/Malate Transporter CimH of Bacillus subtilis Are Accessible from the External Face of the Membrane [PDF]
, 2003 CimH of Bacillus subtilis is a secondary transporter for citrate and malate that belongs to the 2-hydroxycarboxylate transporter (2HCT) family. Conserved residues R143, R420, and Q428, located in putative cytoplasmic loops and R432, located at the ...
