Functional characterization of NRT1/PTR FAMILY transporters: looking for a needle in a haystack. [PDF]
Summary NRT1/PTR FAMILY (NPF) transporters play crucial roles in plant physiology and development due to their involvement in nitrogen nutrition and their ability to transport multiple signaling molecules and metabolites. Whereas most eukaryotic and prokaryotic NPF orthologs are peptide transporters, most flowering plant NPF transport other substrates ...

Redundant potassium transporter systems guarantee the survival of Enterococcus faecalis under stress conditions [PDF]
Enterococcus is able to grow in media at pH from 5.0 to 9.0 and a high concentration of NaCl (8%). The ability to respond to these extreme conditions requires the rapid movement of three critical ions: proton (H+), sodium (Na+), and potassium (K+).

The Potassium Transporter Hak1 in Candida Albicans, Regulation and Physiological Effects at Limiting Potassium and under Acidic Conditions [PDF]
The three families of yeast plasma membrane potassium influx transporters are represented in Candida albicans: Trk, Acu, and Hak proteins. Hak transporters work as K+-H+ symporters, and the genes coding for Hak proteins are transcriptionally activated ...

Using small molecules to facilitate exchange of bicarbonate and chloride anions across liposomal membranes [PDF]
Bicarbonate is involved in a wide range of biological processes, which include respiration, regulation of intracellular pH and fertilization. In this study we use a combination of NMR spectroscopy and ion-selective electrode techniques to show that the ...

The molecular mechanism of secondary sodium symporters elucidated through the lens of the computational microscope [PDF]
Transport of molecules across cellular membranes is a key biological process for normal cell function. As such, secondary active transporters exploit electrochemical ion gradients to carry out fundamental processes, i.e. nutrients uptake, ion regulation,

Function Trumps Form in Two Sugar Symporters, LacY and vSGLT
Active transport of sugars into bacteria occurs through symporters driven by ion gradients. LacY is the most well-studied proton sugar symporter, whereas vSGLT is the most characterized sodium sugar symporter.

Thiazide-Induced Acute Interstitial Pancreatitis in a 55-Year-Old Male: A Rare Adverse Drug Reaction. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Acute pancreatitis is inflammation of the pancreas and is most commonly caused by gallstones, alcohol use, hyperlipidemia, or idiopathic. Drug‐induced acute pancreatitis is relatively rare and often under‐recognized; it accounts for 0.1%–2% of all cases. Among many drugs, thiazide diuretics are infrequently implicated but remain a known cause.
