Protein transport by vesicles and tunnels. [PDF]
Palade’s corpus placed small vesicles as the sole means to transport proteins across stable distinct compartments of the secretory pathway. We suggest that cargo, spatial organization of secretory compartments, and the timing of fission of cargo-filled containers dictate the design of transport intermediates that can be vesicles and transient direct ...

Protein transport into mitochondria [PDF]
Mitochondria are made up of two membrane systems that subdivide this organelle into two aqueous subcompartments: the matrix, which is enclosed by the inner membrane, and the intermembrane space, which is located between the inner and the outer membrane.

Transport o proteins into mitochondria [PDF]
The transfer of cytoplasmically synthesized precursor proteins into or across the inner mitochondrial membrane is dependent on energization of the membrane. To investigate the role of this energy requirement, a buffer system was developed in which efficient import of ADP/ATP carrier into mitochondria from the receptor-bound state occurred.

TooT-T: discrimination of transport proteins from non-transport proteins [PDF]
Abstract Background Membrane transport proteins (transporters) play an essential role in every living cell by transporting hydrophilic molecules across the hydrophobic membranes. While the sequences of many membrane proteins are known, their structure and function is still not well characterized and understood, owing to the immense effort needed to ...

Nucleoside Transporter Proteins
Concentrative nucleoside transporters (CNT; SLC28) and equilibrative nucleoside transporters (ENT; SLC29) mediate the uptake of natural nucleosides and a variety of nucleoside-derived drugs, mostly used in anticancer therapy. SLC28 and SLC29 families consist in three and four members, respectively, which differ in their substrate selectivity and their ...

Inositol transport proteins [PDF]
The cyclic polyol myo‐inositol is a key molecule in many different metabolic pathways among all organisms; in addition, it is fundamental for osmotic balance in the mammalian brain. This review sums up inositol transporters from eukaryotic organisms, elucidating their vital role in regulating the intracellular distribution and uptake of inositol.

Vesicular protein transport [PDF]
Protein transport and sorting in the secretory and endocytic pathways via vesicles is required for organelle biogenesis, constitutive and regulated secretion and constitutive and regulated endocytosis. It is essential for a multicellular organism and the function of its specialised cell types that the multiple transport and sorting events are highly ...

Protein transport in organelles: Protein transport into and across the thylakoid membrane [PDF]
The chloroplast thylakoid is the most abundant membrane system in nature, and is responsible for the critical processes of light capture, electron transport and photophosphorylation. Most of the resident proteins are imported from the cytosol and then transported into or across the thylakoid membrane. This minireview describes the multitude of pathways

Rabbits were given intravenous injections of L-leucine 4,5/sup 3/H and L- leucine-/sup 12/C. The animals were killed at intervals up to 17h after the last injection and the lungs were removed and lavaged. After the lavage the lungs were minced and homogenized. Proteins were assayed for radioactivity.

Transport of Ciliary Membrane Proteins [PDF]
Cilia and flagella are highly conserved organelles in eukaryotic cells that drive cell movement and act as cell antennae that receive and transmit signals. In addition to receiving and transducing external signals that activate signal cascades, cilia also secrete ciliary ectosomes that send signals to recipient cells, and thereby mediate cell-cell ...
