The Sec61/SecY complex is inherently deficient in translocating intrinsically disordered proteins

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2017
About one-quarter to nearly one-third of the proteins synthesized in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells are integrated into the plasma membrane or are secreted. Translocation of secretory proteins into the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum or the periplasm

Rethinking the contract‐failure theory

American Business Law Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract The contract‐failure theory posits that the nonprofit form can be an indicator of high product quality because the nondistribution constraint reduces the nonprofit manager's financial benefits from cheating. This would give nonprofits an advantage over for‐profit firms when consumers cannot determine product quality and thus explains ...

OsPT4 Facilitates Selenomethionine Transport and Biosynthesis to Enhance Seed Accumulation in Rice: Molecular Mechanisms and Biotechnological Potential

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Selenium (Se) is a vital micronutrient for humans, with important functions for health and anti‐cancer properties. Organic Se shows higher antioxidant activity and much lower toxicity compared to inorganic Se, making it safer for use. Selenomethionine (SeMet) is one of the primary forms of organic Se.

Dynamic nature of SecA and its associated proteins in Escherichia coli.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Mechanical properties such as physical constraint and pushing of chromosomes are thought to be important for chromosome segregation in Escherichia coli and it could be mediated by a hypothetical molecular tether.

First isolation and direct evidence for the existence of large small-mammal reservoirs of Leptospira sp. in Madagascar. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis has long been a major public health concern in the southwestern Indian Ocean. However, in Madagascar, only a few, old studies have provided indirect serological evidence of the disease in humans or animals. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL

HDX-MS reveals nucleotide-regulated, anti-correlated opening and closure of SecA and SecY channels of the bacterial translocon

bioRxiv, 2019
The bacterial Sec translocon is a multi-component protein complex responsible for translocating diverse proteins across the plasma membrane. For post-translational protein translocation, the Sec-channel – SecYEG – associates with the motor protein SecA ...

Selenium biofortification: integrating one health and sustainability

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 4, Page 1955-1967, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Selenium (Se) biofortification in crops has emerged as a promising strategy to address global Se deficiencies and enhance both agricultural productivity and human health. Increasing the Se content of crops through biofortification improves their resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses and boosts their nutritional value.

Determination of selenium speciation in the muscle, kidney, and liver from different animals treated with different selenium supplements by HPLC‐ICP‐MS

Animal Research and One Health, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 67-81, February 2026.
Dietary selenium (Se) deficiency is recognized as a global problem, and exogenous Se supplementation can effectively enrich its levels in animal bodies. Offal tissues are equally important as meat in Se enrichment. Varying properties among Se species require information beyond total Se concentration to fully evaluate health risk/benefits.

Molecular characterization of a phytoplasma associated with a commercial variety of Momordica charantia

Scientia Agricola
: Momordica charantia (bitter melon) presents two distinct types or varieties, known as wild type and commercial type. Plants of the wild type are hosts of a phytoplasma of the group 16SrIII-J, which is associated with a disease known as witches’ broom ...
