A novel bacterial ATP-binding cassette transporter system that allows uptake of macromolecules.
A gram-negative bacterium, Sphingomonas sp. strain A1, isolated as a producer of alginate lyase, has a characteristic cell envelope structure and forms a mouth-like pit on its surface. The pit is produced only when the cells have to incorporate and assimilate alginate. An alginate uptake-deficient mutant was derived from cells of strain A1. One open reading frame, algS (1,089 bp), exhibiting ho...
متن کاملThe role of ATP-binding cassette transporter A2 in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia multidrug resistance
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is one of the most prevalent hematologic malignancies in children. Although the cure rate of ALL has improved over the past decades, the most important reason for ALL treatment failure is multidrug resistance (MDR) phenomenon. The current study aims to explain the mechanisms involved in multidrug resistance of childhood ALL, and introduces ATP-binding cassette...
متن کاملDetermination of the quaternary structure of a bacterial ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter in living cells.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogenic Gram-negative bacterium that affects patients with cystic fibrosis and immunocompromised individuals. This bacterium coexpresses two unique forms of lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) on its surface, the A- and B-band LPS, which are among the main virulence factors that contribute to its pathogenicity. The polysaccharides in A-band LPSs are synthesized in the cyto...
متن کاملA Novel Function of Apolipoprotein E: Upregulation of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter A1 Expression
Despite the well known importance of apolipoprotein (Apo) E in cholesterol efflux, the effect of ApoE on the expression of ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) has never been investigated. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of ApoE on ApoB-carrying lipoprotein-induced expression of ABCA1, a protein that mediates cholesterol efflux. Our data demonstrate that ApoB-carr...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of ATP-binding cassette transporter of Streptomyces coelicolor
Article history: Received on: 04/02/2014 Revised on: 28/02/2014 Accepted on: 12/03/2014 Available online: 28/07/2014 ATPbinding cassette (ABC) transporters are characterized as multi drug resistant transporters utilizing ATP hydrolysis. The SCO5113 (GeneID: 1100554) encoding a multidrug resistance ABC transporter in Streptomyces coelicolor was expressed in E.coli BL21 (DE3) plysS, using pET 21 ...
