From the cytosol to the inner membrane: biogenesis of the mitochondrial carrier family

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mitochondrial carrier proteins are essential for cellular physiology as they are active in a wide range of metabolic pathways including production of cellular energy, amino acid synthesis, redox balance and ion homeostasis. The double membrane of mitochondria provides a tightly gated environment through which carrier proteins facilitate the ...

Membrane proteins in the outer mebrane of plastids and mitochondria [PDF]

, 2006
Channels of the plastid and mitochondrial outer membranes facilitate the turnover of molecules and ions via these membranes. Although channels have been studied many questions pertaining to the whole diversity of plastid and mitochondrial channels in ...

Emergence of Tigecycline‐Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Harbouring tmexC6D6‐toprJ1b From Hospital Sewage in Japan

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
This study isolated a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (KAM950) carrying the tmexCD‐toprJ gene cluster from hospital sewage in Japan. The strain exhibited reduced susceptibility to tigecycline and carbapenems, harboured chromosomal tmexC6D6‐toprJ1b and oprD disruption, and belonged to epidemic clone ST244, emphasising emerging multidrug resistance and the

The Role of Transport Mechanisms in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Drug Resistance and Tolerance

Pharmaceuticals, 2012
In the fight against tuberculosis, cell wall permeation of chemotherapeutic agents remains a critical but largely unsolved question. Here we review the major mechanisms of small molecule penetration into and efflux from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and ...

Mechanism and Molecular Design Principles of Cationic Surfactants: From Charge‐Driven Membrane Interactions to Next‐Generation Quaternary Ammonium Compounds

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 5, 13 March 2026.
Within this review we provide an overview of the social relevance of quaternary ammonium surfactants, different classes of these agents, their interaction mechanism with cellular membranes, structure activity relation, bacterial resistance toward these systems and new approaches to guarantee their long‐term efficiency.

Interplay Between Membrane Permeability and Enzymatic Barrier Leads to Antibiotic-Dependent Resistance in Klebsiella Pneumoniae

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The interplay between membrane permeability alterations and the enzymatic barrier contributes to Klebsiella pneumoniae multidrug resistance. We assessed the specific effect of the efflux levels of the main efflux pumps (AcrAB and OqxAB), alone and ...

Voltage gating in porin channels [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 1987
Data from experiments in which porin channels are reconstituted into planar bilayer membranes are reviewed for their relevance to porin channel gating in vivo. Contradictory evidence concerning voltage gating indicates that the different results may stem from the variety of purification techniques employed.

Wireless Bioelectronic Modulation of Membrane Potential in Glioblastoma Using Carbon Nanotube Porins

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
A schematic illustrating glioblastoma cell membrane modulation using carbon nanotube porins (CNTPs) and an applied voltage. CNTPs enable ion flux leading to changes in membrane potential. This figure summarizes the concept of bioelectronic control of cell membrane voltage.
