Protein translocation across mitochondrial membranes [PDF]
Protein translocation across biological membranes is of fundamental importance for the biogenesis of organelles and in protein secretion. We will give an overview of the recent achievements in the understanding of protein translocation across ...

The Translocator Protein [PDF]
The translocator protein (TSPO) is expressed at low levels in the healthy human brain and is markedly upregulated in response to brain injury and inflammation. This increase in TSPO expression is correlated to the extent of microglial activation, making the measurement of TSPO density a useful indicator of active brain disease.

Protein Translocation: Tunnel Vision [PDF]
We apologize to colleagues whose important work could only be covered by reference to reviews and discussions in other papers. We thank M. Rolls, C. Shamu, W. Prinz, and P. Silver for valuable comments on the manuscript. After completion of this manuscript we became aware of a recent review by R. S. Hegde and V. R. Lingappa (Cell 91, 575–582), to which

Functional Organization of Sequence Motifs in Diverse Transit Peptides of Chloroplast Proteins
Although the chloroplasts in plants are characterized by an inherent genome, the chloroplast proteome is composed of proteins encoded by not only the chloroplast genome but also the nuclear genome.

Translocator protein and steroidogenesis [PDF]
Two interesting papers by Barren et al. and Owen et al. have been very recently published in Biochemical Journal, reporting the role of translocator protein (TSPO) in steroidogenesis. The involvement of TSPO in the steroid biosynthesis has been suggested by 30 years of researches, using biochemical, pharmacological and genetic experimental approaches ...

YidC from Escherichia coli Forms an Ion-Conducting Pore upon Activation by Ribosomes
The universally conserved protein YidC aids in the insertion and folding of transmembrane polypeptides. Supposedly, a charged arginine faces its hydrophobic lipid core, facilitating polypeptide sliding along YidC’s surface.

Mobility of the SecA 2-helix-finger is not essential for polypeptide translocation via the SecYEG complex [PDF]
The bacterial ATPase SecA and protein channel complex SecYEG form the core of an essential protein translocation machinery. The nature of the conformational changes induced by each stage of the hydrolytic cycle of ATP and how they are coupled to protein ...

Peroxisomal protein translocation
Peroxisomes perform a wide variety of metabolic processes in eukaryotic organisms. Mutations that affect peroxisome function or formation have profound phenotypic consequences, the latter demonstrated by peroxisome biogenesis disorders which are often fatal.

Persistent systemic microbial translocation, inflammation, and intestinal damage during Clostridioides difficile infection [PDF]
Background. Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) might be complicated by the development of nosocomial bloodstream infection (n-BSI). Based on the hypothesis that alteration of the normal gut integrity is present during CDI, we evaluated markers of ...
