ATP-Binding Cassette Systems of Brucella
Brucellosis is a prevalent zoonotic disease and is endemic in the Middle East, South America, and other areas of the world. In this study, complete inventories of putative functional ABC systems of five Brucella species have been compiled and compared. ABC systems of Brucella melitensis 16M, Brucella abortus 9-941, Brucella canis RM6/66, Brucella suis 1330, and Brucella ovis 63/290 were identif...
متن کاملPhylogenetic and Functional Classification of Abc ( Atp - Binding Cassette ) Systems *
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) systems constitute one of the most abundant families of proteins. At the time of writing this review, we have identified more than 2000 ABC ATPase domains or proteins in translated nucleic acid sequence databases. A total of about 6000 proteins were found when the partners of ATPases were taken into account. The size of this mass of sequences is therefore similar to t...
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 کاملATP-binding cassette transporters, atherosclerosis, and inflammation.
Although recent genome-wide association studies have called into question the causal relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease, ongoing research in animals and cells has produced increasing evidence that cholesterol efflux pathways mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and HDL suppress atherosclerosis. These differing perspec...
متن کاملATP-Binding cassette cholesterol transporters and cardiovascular disease.
A hallmark of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the accumulation of cholesterol in arterial macrophages. Factors that modulate circulating and tissue cholesterol levels have major impacts on initiation, progression, and regression of CVD. Four members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter family play important roles in this modulation. ABCA1 and ABCG1 export excess cellula...
