A unifying mechanism for protein transport through the core bacterial Sec machinery [PDF]
Open Biology, 2023 Encapsulation and compartmentalization are fundamental to the evolution of cellular life, but they also pose a challenge: how to partition the molecules that perform biological functions—the proteins—across impermeable barriers into sub-cellular ...

Regulation of Protein Transport Pathways by the Cytosolic Hsp90s [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2022 The highly conserved molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) is well-known for maintaining metastable proteins and mediating various aspects of intracellular protein dynamics. Intriguingly, high-throughput interactome studies suggest that Hsp90

Proteomic screen reveals diverse protein transport between connected neurons in the visual system [PDF]
Cell Reports, 2022 Summary: Intercellular transfer of toxic proteins between neurons is thought to contribute to neurodegenerative disease, but whether direct interneuronal protein transfer occurs in the healthy brain is not clear.

The ESX-1 Substrate PPE68 Has a Key Function in ESX-1-Mediated Secretion in Mycobacterium marinum
mBio, 2022 Mycobacteria use specialized type VII secretion systems (T7SSs) to secrete proteins across their diderm cell envelope. One of the T7SS subtypes, named ESX-1, is a major virulence determinant in pathogenic species such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis and ...

Bacterial Signal Peptides- Navigating the Journey of Proteins
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 In 1971, Blobel proposed the first statement of the Signal Hypothesis which suggested that proteins have amino-terminal sequences that dictate their export and localization in the cell.

ApoA-I Milano stimulates lipolysis in adipose cells independently of cAMP/PKA activation
Journal of Lipid Research, 2015 ApoA-I, the main protein component of HDL, is suggested to be involved in metabolic homeostasis. We examined the effects of Milano, a naturally occurring ApoA-I variant, about which little mechanistic information is available.

Systemic Long-Distance Signaling and Communication Between Rootstock and Scion in Grafted Vegetables
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Grafting is widely used in fruit, vegetable, and flower propagation to improve biotic and abiotic stress resistance, yield, and quality. At present, the systemic changes caused by grafting, as well as the mechanisms and effects of long-distance signal ...
