Supraparticles Composed of Graphitic Carbon Nitride Nanoparticles and Silica‐Supported Horseradish Peroxidase as Customizable Hybrid Catalysts for Photo‐Biocatalytic Cascade Reactions in Continuous Flow

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Herein presented supraparticles combine the nanoparticulate photocatalyst graphitic carbon nitride with the enzyme horseradish peroxidase, which is immobilized on silica nanoparticles. In an optimized compatibility range, both catalysts operate effectively within the hybrid supraparticles and catalyze a cascade reaction consisting of the photocatalytic

Complement-mediated killing of Escherichia coli by mechanical destabilization of the cell envelope

The EMBO Journal
Complement proteins eliminate Gram-negative bacteria in the blood via the formation of membrane attack complex (MAC) pores in the outer membrane. However, it remains unclear how outer membrane poration leads to inner membrane permeation and cell lysis ...

Bax and Bak function as the outer membrane component of the mitochondrial permeability pore in regulating necrotic cell death in mice

eLife, 2013
A critical event in ischemia-based cell death is the opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP). However, the molecular identity of the components of the MPTP remains unknown.

Loss of cardiolipin and porins bypasses the essentiality of the sigma E cell envelope stress response in Escherichia coli

mBio
The Gram-negative cell envelope is composed of an inner and outer membrane, each with different lipid compositions. The inner membrane is predominantly made up of phosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylethanolamine, and cardiolipin, while the outer membrane ...

Biogenesis of cytochrome c1 [PDF]

, 1989
The biogenesis of cytochrome c1 involves a number of steps including: synthesis as a precursor with a bipartite signal sequence, transfer across the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes, removal of the first part of the presequence in the matrix ...

The TAM, a Translocation and Assembly Module for protein assembly and potential conduit for phospholipid transfer

EMBO Reports
The assembly of β-barrel proteins into the bacterial outer membrane is an essential process enabling the colonization of new environmental niches. The TAM was discovered as a module of the β-barrel protein assembly machinery; it is a heterodimeric ...

Cardiolipin Synthesis and Outer Membrane Localization Are Required for Shigella flexneri Virulence

mBio, 2017
Cardiolipin, an anionic phospholipid that resides at the poles of the inner and outer membranes, is synthesized primarily by the putative cardiolipin synthase ClsA in Shigella flexneri. An S.
