Enhanced Boron Tolerance in Plants Mediated by Bidirectional Transport Through Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Proteins [PDF]
AbstractHigh boron (B) concentration is toxic to plants that limit plant productivity. Recent studies have shown the involvement of the members of major intrinsic protein (MIP) family in controlling B transport. Here, we have provided experimental evidences showing the bidirectional transport activity of rice OsPIP1;3 and OsPIP2;6.

Ebola and Marburg virus matrix layers are locally ordered assemblies of VP40 dimers
Filoviruses such as Ebola and Marburg virus bud from the host membrane as enveloped virions. This process is achieved by the matrix protein VP40. When expressed alone, VP40 induces budding of filamentous virus-like particles, suggesting that localization

Human annexin A6 interacts with influenza A virus protein M2 and negatively modulates infection [PDF]
The influenza A virus M2 ion channel protein has the longest cytoplasmic tail (CT) among the three viral envelope proteins and is well conserved between different viral strains.

How membrane structures control T cell signaling.
Genetic and biochemical studies have identified a large number of molecules involved in T cell signalling. They have provided us with a comprehensive understanding of protein-protein interactions and protein modifications that take place upon antigen ...

Thermodynamics and kinetics of P-glycoprotein-substrate interactions [PDF]
P-glycoprotein (Pgp, ABCB1) is a transmembrane protein, which extrudes a large number of structurally diverse compounds out of the cell membrane at the expense of ATP hydrolysis.

Subcellular Journey of Rare Cold Inducible 2 Protein in Plant Under Stressful Condition
Rare cold inducible 2 (RCI2) proteins are small hydrophobic membrane proteins in plants, and it has been widely reported that RCI2 expressions are dramatically induced by salt, cold, and drought stresses in many species. The RCI2 proteins have been shown

Stimulation of glucose utilization in 3T3 adipocytes and rat diaphragm in vitro by the sulphonylureas, glimepiride and glibenclamide, is correlated with modulations of the cAMP regulatory cascade [PDF]
The long-term hypoglycemic activity of sulphonylurea drugs has been attributed, in part at least, to the stimulation of glucose utilization in extra-pancreatic tissues. The novel sulphonylurea, glimepiride, gives rise to a longer lasting reduction in the

Enhancement of the passage of water through membranes is one of the main mechanisms via which cells can maintain their homeostasis under stress conditions, and aquaporins are the main participants in this process. However, in the last few years, a number
