Patched 1 reduces the accessibility of cholesterol in the outer leaflet of membranes

eLife, 2021
A long-standing mystery in vertebrate Hedgehog signaling is how Patched 1 (PTCH1), the receptor for Hedgehog ligands, inhibits the activity of Smoothened, the protein that transmits the signal across the membrane. We previously proposed (Kinnebrew et al.,

Generation of boron-deficiency-tolerant tomato by overexpressing an <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i> borate transporter <i>AtBOR1</i>

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Nutrient deficiency in soil poses a widespread agricultural problem. Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient in plants, and its deficiency causes defects in both vegetative and reproductive growth in various crops in the field.

Amino Acid Transporters in Plant Cells: A Brief Review

Plants, 2020
Amino acids are not only a nitrogen source that can be directly absorbed by plants, but also the major transport form of organic nitrogen in plants. A large number of amino acid transporters have been identified in different plant species.

Nitrate transporters and peptide transporters

FEBS Letters, 2007
In higher plants, two types of nitrate transporters, NRT1 and NRT2, have been identified. In Arabidopsis, there are 53 NRT1 genes and 7 NRT2 genes. NRT2 are high‐affinity nitrate transporters, while most members of the NRT1 family are low‐affinity nitrate transporters.

Transporters Revealed [PDF]

Cell, 2017
The subfamily C ATP-binding cassette (ABCC) transporters mediate multidrug resistance and ion conductance regulation. Recent atomic or near-atomic resolution structures of three physiologically significant ABCC transporters (MRP1, SUR1, and CFTR), determined by using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), reveal structural details that ...
