Sec-mediated secretion of bacteriocin enterocin P by Lactococcus lactis.
Most lactic acid bacterium bacteriocins utilize specific leader peptides and dedicated machineries for secretion. In contrast, the enterococcal bacteriocin enterocin P (EntP) contains a typical signal peptide that directs its secretion when heterologously expressed in Lactococcus lactis. Signal peptide mutations and the SecA inhibitor azide blocked secretion. These observations demonstrate that...
متن کاملLipid transport by mammalian ABC proteins.
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) proteins actively transport a wide variety of substrates, including peptides, amino acids, sugars, metals, drugs, vitamins and lipids, across extracellular and intracellular membranes. Of the 49 hum an ABC proteins, a significant number are known to mediate the extrusion of lipids from membranes or the flipping of membrane lipids across the bilayer to generate and mai...
متن کاملLipid Transport by ABC Proteins. Studies on MDR1 P-Glycoprotein and Breast Cancer Resistance Protein
In eukaryotic cells, the lipid species are frequently distributed asymmetrically between the plasma membrane leaflets. Phosphatidylserine (PS), in particular, often exhibits a distinct transverse asymmetry, being restricted almost exclusively to the inner leaflet. In the past years, several proteins were suggested to transport lipids between the leaflets of a membrane, and to potentially influe...
متن کاملMembrane transport of chemotherapeutics and drug resistance: beyond the ABC family of exporters to the role of carrier-mediated processes.
Chemotherapeutic agents almost invariably require, as a prerequisite for activity, the ability to traverse the tumor cell membrane to interact with, and perturb the activity of, intracellular targets. Transport often precedes the interaction between drugs and intracellular enzymes and may regulate the rate and extent of metabolism to cytotoxic or cytostatic derivatives that achieve the pharmaco...
متن کاملDiffusion Mediated Transport in Multiple State Systems
Intracellular transport in eukarya is attributed to motor proteins that transduce chemical energy into directed mechanical motion. Nanoscale motors like kinesins tow organelles and other cargo on microtubules or filaments, have a role separating the mitotic spindle during the cell cycle, and perform many other functions. The simplest description gives rise to a weakly coupled system of evolutio...
