Evolution of prokaryotic SPFH proteins. [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: The SPFH protein superfamily is a diverse family of proteins whose eukaryotic members are involved in the scaffolding of detergent-resistant microdomains. Recently the origin of the SPFH proteins has been questioned.

The impact of the absence of aliphatic glucosinolates on water transport under salt stress in Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Members of the Brassicaceae are known for their contents of nutrients and health-promoting phytochemicals, including glucosinolatesExposure to salinity increases the levels of several of these compounds, but their role in abiotic stress response is ...

MG53 Preserves Neuromuscular Junction Integrity and Alleviates ALS Disease Progression

Antioxidants, 2021
Respiratory failure from progressive respiratory muscle weakness is the most common cause of death in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Defects in neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) and progressive NMJ loss occur at early stages, thus stabilizing and ...

Dissection of the asynchronous transport of intestinal microvillar hydrolases to the cell surface [PDF]

, 1988
Novel subcellular fractionation procedures and pulse-chase techniques were used to study the intracellular transport of the microvillar membrane hydrolases sucrase-isomaltase and dipeptidylpeptidase IV in the differentiated colon adenocarcinoma cell line

Water channel activities of Mimosa pudica plasma membrane intrinsic proteins are regulated by direct interaction and phosphorylation [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2005
cDNAs encoding aquaporins PIP1;1, PIP2;1, and TIP1;1 were isolated from Mimosa pudica (Mp) cDNA library. MpPIP1;1 exhibited no water channel activity; however, it facilitated the water channel activity of MpPIP2;1 in a phosphorylation‐dependent manner. Mutagenesis analysis revealed that Ser‐131 of MpPIP1;1 was phosphorylated by PKA and that cooperative

Ectopic expression of Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membrane intrinsic protein 2 aquaporins in lily pollen increases the plasma membrane water permeability of grain but not of tube protoplasts [PDF]

New Phytologist, 2008
To investigate the role of aquaporin-mediated water transport during pollen grain germination and tube growth, Arabidopsis thaliana plasma membrane intrinsic proteins (PIPs) were expressed in pollen of Lilium longiflorum (lily). Successful expression of AtPIPs in particle-bombarded lily pollen grains was monitored by co-expression with fluorescent ...

Stabilization of the cortical cytoskeleton by the lipid raft-associated protein cap23 [PDF]

, 2006
In the present work, we identified the lipid raft-associated protein Cap23 to be involved in several important neuronal functions like the organization of lipid raft platforms, the maturation and stabilization of the actin- and intermediate filament ...

Identification of Putative Aquaporin Genes and Their Expression Analysis under Hypoxic Conditions in Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]

Plant Production Science, 2012
The aims of this study were to detect plasma-membrane intrinsic protein type 2 (PIP2) genes of soybean (cv. Enrei) and to analyze mRNA levels of these genes under normoxic (control) and hypoxic conditions. A sequence similarity search with cDNA sequences

Plasma membrane intrinsic proteins PIP1;1 and PIP1;3 contribute to the tolerance to nitrogen deficiency in potato [PDF]

, 2020
Nitrogen (N) deficiency is one of the major constraints for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production, due to its shallow root system and poor capabilities of N mobilization from the deeper layers of the soil. The aim of this study was to elucidate plasma membrane (PM) proteins potentially involved in the tolerance towards N deficiency.
