Phage Capsid-like Structure of Myxococcus xanthus Encapsulin, a Protein Shell That Stores Iron
Iron is both an essential cofactor of many enzymes and a producer of highly reactive hydroxyl radicals that can cause cellular damage. To regulate the supply of intracellular iron, cells have developed protein-based organelles, like ferritins, that act as iron storage containers. Myxococcus xanthus, a soil-dwelling gram-negative myxobacterium, produces another type of protein-based organelle th...
متن کاملA virus capsid-like nanocompartment that stores iron and protects bacteria from oxidative stress.
Living cells compartmentalize materials and enzymatic reactions to increase metabolic efficiency. While eukaryotes use membrane-bound organelles, bacteria and archaea rely primarily on protein-bound nanocompartments. Encapsulins constitute a class of nanocompartments widespread in bacteria and archaea whose functions have hitherto been unclear. Here, we characterize the encapsulin nanocompartme...
متن کاملGenetically engineering encapsulin protein cage nanoparticle as a SCC-7 cell targeting optical nanoprobe
BACKGROUND Protein cage nanoparticles are promising nanoplatform candidates for efficient delivery systems of diagnostics and/or therapeutics because of their uniform size and structure as well as high biocompatibility and biodegradability. Encapsulin protein cage nanoparticle is used to develop a cell-specific targeting optical nanoprobe. RESULTS FcBPs are genetically inserted and successful...
متن کاملA redox-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticle with a therapeutic peptide shell for tumor targeting synergistic therapy.
In this study, we report a novel redox-responsive mesoporous silica nanoparticle (MSN)-based nanocarrier, capping with a therapeutic peptide ((RGDWWW)2KC) containing a RGD target motif, for tumor targeting synergistic therapy, which is designated as TTSTMSN. The MSN was decorated with a tumor-targeting therapeutic peptide as a potential gatekeeper. The two branched peptides containing rich tryp...
متن کاملAn Ethnographic Approach to Exploring Degree of Involvement in Oral Interactions: The case of L2 classrooms
Abstract One of the main concerns in educational settings has been the degree of the learners’ involvement in learning and the extent to which they actively participate in classroom talks and interactions. The present study is an emic-based ethnographic study aimed at providing insights about patterns of talk and different degrees of interaction in EFL university classes with a specific focus o...
