Protein induced modulation of chloroplast membrane morphology [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition. While it is established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been only recently suggested that elevated membrane protein concentrations may ...

Translocation and insertion of precursor proteins into isolated outer membranes of mitochondria [PDF]
, 1993 Nuclear-encoded proteins destined for mitochondria must cross the outer or both outer and inner membranes to reach their final sub- mitochondrial locations. While the inner membrane can translocate preproteins by itself, it is not known whether the outer

Charge Asymmetry in the Proteins of the Outer Membrane [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 Abstract Motivation: Outer membrane beta-barrels (OMBBs) are the proteins found in the outer membrane of bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts. There are thousands of beta-barrels reported in genomic databases with ∼2–3% of the genes in gram-negative bacteria encoding these proteins.

Protein-enriched outer membrane vesicles as a native platform for outer membrane protein studies [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2018 AbstractMost studies characterizing the folding, structure, and function of membrane proteins rely on solubilized or reconstituted samples. Whereas solubilized membrane proteins lack the functionally important lipid membrane, reconstitution embeds them into artificial lipid bilayers, which lack characteristic features of cellular membranes including ...

Outer membrane protein design [PDF]
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2017 Membrane proteins are the gateway to the cell. These proteins are also a control center of the cell, as information from the outside is passed through membrane proteins as signals to the cellular machinery. The design of membrane proteins seeks to harness the power of these gateways and signal carriers.

Deoxyribonucleic acid and outer membrane: binding to outer membrane involves a specific protein [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1979 The binding of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to the outer membrane of Escherichia coli was examined. The amount of DNA found to be bound to outer membrane was low and was estimated to be about 0.4% of the total DNA. Treatment of cells with chloramphenicol or rifampin caused a disassociation of the apparent DNA-outer membrane complex.

Outer membrane proteins of pathogenic spirochetes [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Reviews, 2004 Pathogenic spirochetes are the causative agents of several important diseases including syphilis, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, swine dysentery, periodontal disease and some forms of relapsing fever. Spirochetal bacteria possess two membranes and the proteins present in the outer membrane are at the site of interaction with host tissue and the immune ...

Solute channels of the outer membrane: from bacteria to chloroplasts [PDF]
, 2007 Chloroplasts, unique organelles of plants, originated from endosymbiosis of an ancestor of today's cyanobacteria with a mitochondria-containing host cell. It is assumed that the outer envelope membrane, which delimits the chloroplast from the surrounding

Mycobacterial outer membranes: in search of proteins [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2010 The cell wall is a major virulence factor of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and contributes to its intrinsic drug resistance. Recently, cryo-electron microscopy showed that mycobacterial cell wall lipids form an unusual outer membrane. Identification of the components of the uptake and secretion machinery across this membrane will be crucial for ...
