Protein transport across the cell wall of monoderm Gram‐positive bacteria
Molecular Microbiology, 2012 In monoderm (single‐membrane) Gram‐positive bacteria, the majority of secreted proteins are first translocated across the cytoplasmic membrane into the inner wall zone.

Immunoregulatory mechanisms of the arachidonic acid pathway in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The central role of the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in anticancer immunity. Enzymes and metabolites of the AA pathway can play both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory roles in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, their tailored targeting could be beneficial as a standalone therapy or in combination with current cancer immunotherapy.

Molecular Mimicry of SecA and Signal Recognition Particle Binding to the Bacterial Ribosome
mBio, 2019 Bacteria execute a variety of protein transport systems for maintaining the proper composition of their different cellular compartments. The SecYEG translocon serves as primary transport channel and is engaged in transporting two different substrate ...

Cytosolic flow induced symmetry breaking in a conceptual polarity model [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Important cellular processes, such as cell motility and cell division, are coordinated by cell polarity, which is determined by the non-uniform distribution of certain proteins. Such protein patterns form via an interplay of protein reactions and protein transport.

Protein bioelectronics: a review of what we do and do not know [PDF]
, 2017 We review the status of protein-based molecular electronics. First we discuss fundamental concepts of electron transfer and transport in and across proteins and proposed mechanisms for these processes. We then describe the immobilization of proteins to solid-state surfaces in both nanoscale and macroscopic approaches, and highlight how different ...

Intracellular Transport of the S Proteins of Coronaviruses [PDF]
, 2006 Coronaviruses mature by a budding process at intracellular membranes. For two of the viral membrane proteins, M and E, it has been shown that they are intracellularly retained. Upon single expression, the M proteins of transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) and avian infectious bronchitis virus are localized in the cis-Golgi network or cis-Golgi ...

CAVER 3.0: A Tool for the Analysis of Transport Pathways in Dynamic Protein Structures
PLoS Comput. Biol., 2012 Tunnels and channels facilitate the transport of small molecules, ions and water solvent in a large variety of proteins. Characteristics of individual transport pathways, including their geometry, physico-chemical properties and dynamics are instrumental

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Plant cells are unique as they carry two organelles of endosymbiotic origin, namely mitochondria and chloroplasts (plastids) which have specific but partially overlapping functions, e. g., in energy and redox metabolism.
