A unifying mechanism for protein transport through the core bacterial Sec machinery [PDF]

open access: yesOpen 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]

open access: yesBiomolecules, 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]

open access: yesCell 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.

Naturally Occurring N-Terminal Fragments of Bovine Milk Osteopontin Are Transported across Models of the Intestinal Barrier

open access: yesBiomedicines, 2023
Osteopontin (OPN) is a bioactive integrin-binding protein found in high concentrations in milk, where it is present both as a full-length protein and as several N-terminally derived fragments.

Electrophysiological characterization of a diverse group of sugar transporters from Trichoderma reesei

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Trichoderma reesei is an ascomycete fungus known for its capability to secrete high amounts of extracellular cellulose- and hemicellulose-degrading enzymes. These enzymes are utilized in the production of second-generation biofuels and T.

An extracellular vesicle targeting ligand that binds to Arc proteins and facilitates Arc transport in vivo

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Communication between distant cells can be mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs) that deliver proteins and RNAs to recipient cells. Little is known about how EVs are targeted to specific cell types.

Analysis of Dot/Icm Type IVB Secretion System Subassemblies by Cryoelectron Tomography Reveals Conformational Changes Induced by DotB Binding

open access: yesmBio, 2020
Type IV secretion systems (T4SSs) are sophisticated nanomachines used by many bacterial pathogens to translocate protein and DNA substrates across a host cell membrane.

Towards a molecular mechanism underlying mitochondrial protein import through the TOM and TIM23 complexes

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Nearly all mitochondrial proteins need to be targeted for import from the cytosol. For the majority, the first port of call is the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM complex), followed by a procession of alternative molecular machines, conducting ...
