Transferrin as a source of iron for Campylobacter rectus
Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2011 Background and Objective: Campylobacter rectus is considered as one of the bacterial species of etiological importance in periodontitis. Iron-containing proteins such as transferrin are found in periodontal sites and may serve as a source of iron for ...

Vacuolar ATPase depletion contributes to dysregulation of endocytosis in bloodstream forms of Trypanosoma brucei [PDF]
, 2020 BACKGROUND Vacuolar H-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a highly conserved protein complex which hydrolyzes ATP and pumps protons to acidify vacuolar vesicles.

The trypanosomal transferrin receptor of trypanosoma brucei : a review [PDF]
, 2019 Iron is an essential element for life. Its uptake and utility requires a careful balancing with its toxic capacity, with mammals evolving a safe and bio-viable means of its transport and storage. This transport and storage is also utilized as part of the

Delivery of Nanoparticles across the Intestinal Epithelium via the Transferrin Transport Pathway
Pharmaceutics, 2019 The aim of this study was to probe whether the transferrin (Tf) transport pathway can be exploited for intestinal delivery of nanoparticles. Tf was adsorbed on 100 nm model polystyrene nanoparticles (NP), followed by size characterisation of these ...

Experimental & Molecular MedicineAbstract The transferrin receptor (TfR) is one of the key proteins involved in cellular iron uptake. TfR-mediated endocytosis of transferrin-bound iron is the major pathway for iron acquisition by most cells in the body. Over the past three decades, the studies on TfR have made significant progress, and also, our knowledge on cell iron uptake

Variation of the serum N‐glycosylation during the pregnancy of a MPI‐CDG patient
JIMD Reports, 2021 For the first time the glycosylation of a patient with a MPI‐CDG during pregnancy is monitored. MPI‐CDG, is characterised by a deficiency in mannose‐6‐phosphate isomerase (MPI) leading to a reduced pool of glycosylation precursors, impairing the ...
