Fast Blood Oxygenation through Hemocompatible Asymmetric Polymer of Intrinsic Microporosity Membranes

open access: yesResearch, 2023
Membrane technology has attracted considerable attention for chemical and medical applications, among others. Artificial organs play important roles in medical science. A membrane oxygenator, also known as artificial lung, can replenish O2 and remove CO2

Enhanced Boron Tolerance in Plants Mediated by Bidirectional Transport Through Plasma Membrane Intrinsic Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
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

open access: yeseLife, 2020
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]

open access: yes, 2012
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.

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2012
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]

open access: yes, 2007
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 1994
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

Heterotetramerization of Plant PIP1 and PIP2 Aquaporins Is an Evolutionary Ancient Feature to Guide PIP1 Plasma Membrane Localization and Function

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Aquaporins (AQPs) are tetrameric channel proteins regulating the transmembrane flux of small uncharged solutes and in particular water in living organisms.

Controversial Regulation of Gene Expression and Protein Transduction of Aquaporins under Drought and Salinity Stress

open access: yesPlants, 2020
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
