First findings: Cooperation of two different cell membrane proteins in breast cancerBackground: Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is a widely-used flavor enhancer and stabilizer in ready-made or packaged foods. The excessive use of MSG has been shown to increase oxidative stress in different organ systems...
membrane of root hairs and interacts with the tip-growth regulator ARMADILLO REPEAT ONLY PROTEINs (AROs)26,27, implying its potential function as a local inactivator. In Arabidopsis, only two RopGAPs are detectable in pollen tubes. However, their loss of function does not cause discernable growth...
The cellular localization of these proteins has been studied in Nostoc sp. PCC 7120, where the MnSod is membrane bound and the FeSod is cytosolic (Li et al., 2002; Regelsberger et al., 2004). This different localization could be responsible for different roles in protecting the cells ...
The efficient folding of proteins into their three-dimensional functional structure is of fundamental importance for cell viability. In vitro studies of protein folding have provided detailed insights into the folding process by offering precise control of experimental conditions1,2. To date, most foldin...
The presence of the calmodulin-stimulated ATPase in mixed membranes from smooth muscle is confirmed by its binding of calmodulin and antibodies against erythrocyte Ca2+-transport ATPase, whereas such binding does not occur with proteins present in the presumed endoplasmic reticulum from smooth muscle. ...
Heavy metal Resistance-Nodulation-Division (HME-RND) efflux systems help Gram-negative bacteria to keep the intracellular homeostasis under high metal concentrations. These proteins constitute the cytoplasmic membrane channel of the tripartite RND transp
However, the cell wall composition was not of significance in protein export and the parameters for the excretion process were found to be environmental. In particular, two types of extracellular proteins were identified: the first type of enzyme, penicillinase, was only weakly catabolite repressed;...
Upon induction and over-expression, the N-terminal His6-tagged UGT proteins were purified to homogeneity using Ni–NTA agarose resin. Specifically, six (UGT85A1, RrUGT3, RrUGT17, UGT73B6, UGT73B6FS and UGTYjiC) out of eight UGTs were well purified, while the rest two UGTs (RrUGT33...

In early sensory systems, cell-type diversity generally increases from the periphery into the brain, resulting in a greater heterogeneity of responses to the same stimuli. Surround suppression is a canonical visual computation that begins within the reti
