Porin from Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides [PDF]
A protein homooligomer was purified from both the cell envelope fractions and the saline extracts of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides cells. This oligomer exhibited strong porin activity when reconstituted into proteoliposomes with egg phosphatidylcholine. In the saline extracts of both chemotrophically and phototrophically grown cells, the porin oligomer ...

The porin and the permeating antibiotic: A selective diffusion barrier in gram-negative bacteria [PDF]
Gram-negative bacteria are responsible for a large proportion of antibiotic resistant bacterial diseases. These bacteria have a complex cell envelope that comprises an outer membrane and an inner membrane that delimit the periplasm.

A defining characteristic of Gram-negative bacteria is the presence of an outer membrane, which functions as an additional barrier inhibiting the penetration of toxic chemicals, such as antibiotics.

Regulation of porin expression in bacteria is complex and often involves small-RNA regulators. Several small-RNA regulators have been described for Burkholderia cenocepacia, and this study aimed to characterize the biological role of the conserved small ...

Single-channel measurements of an N-acetylneuraminic acid-inducible outer membrane channel in Escherichia coli [PDF]
NanC is an Escherichia coli outer membrane protein involved in sialic acid (Neu5Ac, i.e., N-acetylneuraminic acid) uptake. Expression of the NanC gene is induced and controlled by Neu5Ac. The transport mechanism of Neu5Ac is not known.

Porins of Brucella species [PDF]
The outer membrane of Brucella species contains two major proteins, denoted as group 2 and group 3 proteins (Verstreate et al., Infect. Immun. 35:979-989, 1982). We reconstituted proteoliposomes from the purified proteins and egg phosphatidylcholine and showed that group 2 proteins, but not a group 3 protein, had the porin activity. The influx rates of

Biophysical Effects Of Ion Concenteration On The Affinity Between Nanopore, OmpF Lumen and Passing Nucleotide [PDF]
OmpF an outer-membrane porin channel of _E. Coli_ posses beta-barrel structure, whose conductivity and gating phenomena are affected by changes in pH, salt concentration and so on. The distribution of amino acids in OmpF induces a non homologous electric

Porin fromThiobacillus versutus [PDF]
The porin of Thiobacillus versutus IFO 14567 was isolated by extraction of cell-envelopes with sodium dodecyl sulfate. It exhibited strong porin-activity after reconstitution into artificial lipid bilayer membranes. The diameter of the pore was determined as 1.6 nm, with a weak selectivity for cations being observed. The porin migrated as a single band
