Arabidopsis thaliana vacuolar TPK channels form functional K+ uptake pathways in Escherichia coli
Very few vacuolar two pore potassium channels (TPKs) have been functionally characterized. In this paper we have used complementation of K(+) uptake deficient Escherichia coli mutant LB2003 to analyze the functional properties of Arabidopsis thaliana TPK family members. The four isoforms of AtTPKs were cloned and expressed in LB2003 E. coli background.The expression of channels in bacteria was ...
متن کاملHuman connexin26 and connexin30 form functional heteromeric and heterotypic channels.
Mutations in GJB2 and GJB6, the genes that encode the human gap junction proteins connexin26 (Cx26) and connexin30 (Cx30), respectively, cause hearing loss. Cx26 and Cx30 are both expressed in the cochlea, leading to the potential formation of heteromeric hemichannels and heterotypic gap junction channels. To investigate their interactions, we expressed human Cx26 and Cx30 individually or toget...
متن کاملMacrophages form functional vascular mimicry channels in vivo
Macrophages, key cells of the innate immune system, are known to support angiogenesis but are not believed to directly form vessel walls. Here we show that macrophages structurally form primitive, NON-ENDOTHELIAL "vessels" or vascular mimicry (VM) channels in both tumor and angiogenesis in vivo models. These channels are functionally connected to the systemic vasculature as they are perfused by...
متن کاملBIOTECHNOLOGICALLY RELEVANT ENZYMES AND PROTEINS Expression of chondroitin-4-O-sulfotransferase inEscherichia coli and Pichia pastoris
Chondroitin sulfates are linear sulfated polysaccharides called glycosaminoglycans. They are important nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products that are biosynthesized through the action of chondroitin sulfotransferases on either an unsulfated chondroitin or a dermatan polysaccharide precursor. While the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of chondroitin sulfates are well known, the cloning e...
متن کاملFunctional motifs in Escherichia coli NC101
Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria can damage DNA of the gut lining cells and may encourage the development of colon cancer according to recent reports. Genetic switches are specific sequence motifs and many of them are drug targets. It is interesting to know motifs and their location in sequences. At the present study, Gibbs sampler algorithm was used in order to predict and find functional m...
