Structural basis of molecular recognition of the Leishmania Small Hydrophilic Endoplasmic Reticulum-associated Protein (SHERP) at membrane surfaces
(Elsevier, 2011)
The 57-residue small hydrophilic endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein (SHERP) shows highly specific, stageregulated expression in the non-replicative vector-transmitted stages of the kinetoplastid parasite, Leishmania ...
Kinetic stability of membrane proteins
(Springer Verlag, 2017-10)
Although membrane proteins constitute an important class of biomolecules involved in key cellular processes, study of the thermodynamic and kinetic stability of their structures is far behind that of soluble proteins. It ...
A simple technique to improve the resolution of membrane acidic proteins of the haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii by 2D electrophoresis
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2014-12)
Proteins present in the archaeal cell envelope play key roles in a variety of processes necessary for survival in extreme environments. The haloarchaeon Haloferax volcanii is a good model for membrane proteomic studies ...
Plasmodium falciparum Field Isolates from South America Use an Atypical Red Blood Cell Invasion Pathway Associated with Invasion Ligand Polymorphisms
(Public Library of Science, 2012)
Studies of Plasmodium falciparum invasion pathways in field isolates have been limited. Red blood cell (RBC) invasion is a complex process involving two invasion protein families; Erythrocyte Binding-Like (EBL) and the ...
Membrane localization of Junín virus glycoproteins requires cholesterol and cholesterol rich membranes
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2013-01)
Arenavirus morphogenesis and budding occurs at cellular plasma membrane;however, the nature of membrane assembly sites remains poorly understood. In this study we examined the effect of different cholesterol-lowering ...
N-terminal palmitoylation is required for Toxoplasma gondii HSP20 inner membrane complex localization
(Elsevier Science, 2013-03)
Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite and the causative agent of toxoplasmosis. Protein palmitoylation is known to play roles in signal transduction and in enhancing the hydrophobicity of proteins thus ...
Functional and structural comparison of the ABC exporter MsbA studied in detergent and reconstituted in nanodiscs
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2019-05)
Purified membrane proteins are most frequently studied solubilized in detergent, but the properties of detergent micelles are very different from those of lipid bilayers. Therefore, there is an increasing interest in ...
Conserved ram seminal plasma proteins bind to the sperm membrane and repair cryopreservation damage
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2011-02)
Whole seminal plasma (SP) enhances the function and fertility of frozen/thawed ram sperm. The objective of the current study was to investigate whether SP proteins capable of binding to molecules from the sperm plasma ...
A simple protocol to characterize bacterial cell-envelope lipoproteins in a native-like environment
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2019-11)
Physiological conditions in living cells are strictly regulated to allow, optimize, and coordinate biological processes. The bacterial cell envelope is the compartment where the communication with the external environment ...
