Redox regulation in chloroplast thylakoid lumen: The pmf changes everything, again
Abstract Photosynthesis is the foundation of life on Earth. However, if not well regulated, it can also generate excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause photodamage. Regulation of photosynthesis is highly dynamic, responding to both environmental and metabolic cues, and occurs at many levels, from light capture to energy storage and ...

Bacterial Glycolipid Acting on Protein Transport Across Membranes
In Escherichia coli inner membranes, diacylglycerol (DAG) and a glycolipid, named membrane protein integrase (MPIase), particularly influence membrane protein transport. This review explores the mechanisms of membrane protein integration mediated by these factors, and the methods and results of physicochemical analysis are presented.

Comparison of Single and Multiple Turnovers of SecYEG in Escherichia coli
Vastly different experimental techniques and conditions have been used to study export in E. coli . We demonstrated that altering experimental conditions can change the step that is observed during study. Investigators should consider specific experimental conditions when comparing data from different laboratories ...

Bacterial protein translocation requires only one copy of the SecY complex in vivo [PDF]
The transport of proteins across the plasma membrane in bacteria requires a channel formed from the SecY complex, which cooperates with either a translating ribosome in cotranslational translocation or the SecA ATPase in post-translational translocation.

Weak links: Advancing target‐based drug discovery by identifying the most vulnerable targets
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to infectious disease. Developing new antibiotics that can shorten TB treatment time will require innovation in target‐based drug discovery in addition to phenotypic screens. In this review, we highlight a novel metric to prioritize essential targets: vulnerability.
