Historical Perspective of Pore-Forming Activity Studies of Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel (Eukaryotic or Mitochondrial Porin) Since Its Discovery in the 70th of the Last Century

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2021
Eukaryotic porin, also known as Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel (VDAC), is the most frequent protein in the outer membrane of mitochondria that are responsible for cellular respiration.

Trends of the major porin gene (ompF) evolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
OmpF is one of the major general porins of Enterobacteriaceae that belongs to the first line of bacterial defense and interactions with the biotic as well as abiotic environments.

Synthetic O‐Polysaccharide Backbone Units for a Single Antigen Vaccine Against Two Major Non‐Typhoidal Salmonella Serovars

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A modular strategy was developed to synthesize tri‐, hexa‐, and nona‐saccharides representing repeating units of the conserved O‐polysaccharide backbone of Salmonella. Conjugates of these glycans to bacteriophage Qβ induced strong IgG responses in mice and rabbits. Antibodies elicited recognized native O‐polysaccharides and conferred protection against

Multiple facets of bacterial porins [PDF]

open access: yesFEMS Microbiology Letters, 2001
Porins form channels allowing the transport of molecules across lipid bilayer membranes. Their structure, location and large number on the bacterial surface lend them multiple functions. Porin loops are potential targets for adhesion to other cells and binding of bactericidal compounds to the surface of Gram-negative bacteria.

Asymmetric conductivity of engineered porins [PDF]

open access: yesProtein Engineering, Design and Selection, 2002
Positively charged peptide segments of 16 and 18 residues were inserted at a periplasmic turn of the porin from Rhodobacter blasticus in order to form an electric field-dependent plug. The X-ray diffraction analysis of a mutant confirmed that the structure of the porin had remained intact and that the insert was mobile.

Fluoroquinolone-Transition Metal Complexes: A Strategy to Overcome Bacterial Resistance

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are antibiotics widely used in the clinical practice due to their large spectrum of action against Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria.

Dynamic rearrangement of nucleoporins during fungal "open" mitosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Mitosis in animals starts with the disassembly of the nuclear pore complexes and the breakdown of the nuclear envelope. In contrast to many fungi, the corn smut fungus Ustilago maydis also removes the nuclear envelope.

Socialization of Providencia stuartii Enables Resistance to Environmental Insults

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2022
Providencia stuartii is a highly social pathogen responsible for nosocomial chronic urinary tract infections. The bacterium indeed forms floating communities of cells (FCC) besides and prior-to canonical surface-attached biofilms (SAB).
