The secretory carrier membrane protein family: structure and membrane topology.
Secretory carrier membrane proteins (SCAMPs) are integral membrane proteins found in secretory and endocytic carriers implicated to function in membrane trafficking. Using expressed sequence tag database and library screens and DNA sequencing, we have characterized several new SCAMPs spanning the plant and animal kingdoms and have defined a broadly conserved protein family. No obvious fungal ho...
متن کاملThe Plant Mitochondrial Carrier Family: Functional and Evolutionary Aspects
Mitochondria play a key role in respiration and energy production and are involved in multiple eukaryotic but also in several plant specific metabolic pathways. Solute carriers in the inner mitochondrial membrane connect the internal metabolism with that of the surrounding cell. Because of their common basic structure, these transport proteins affiliate to the mitochondrial carrier family (MCF)...
متن کاملClinical Application and Functional Mechanisms of Intravenous Immunoglobulin: an Overview
Previous, Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used for treatment of patients with immunodeficiency. However, recent studies have shown that IVIG is a suitable approach for treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Although the exact mechanism of IVIG action is not well known, recent findings have demonstrated that IVIG impacts on expression and function of FC receptors of immuno...
متن کامل[Structural and functional properties of the C-terminal region of mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier].
Mitochondrial ADP/ATP carrier (AAC) is a protein catalyzing the transport of adenine nucleotides across inner mitochondrial membrane. In this review article, we first briefly introduce structural and functional properties of this protein. Next, we describe the results of our recent studies on the difference in the C-terminal region between yeast type 2 AAC isoform and bovine type 1 AAC isoform....
متن کاملEvolutionary analyses of mitochondrial carrier family of dictyostelids
The transportation of solutes across the inner membrane of the mitochondria is catalyzed by a nuclear-coded family of transport proteins called mitochondrial carriers (MCs). Sequences from dictyostelid genome projects have facilitated analysis of the evolution of the dictyostelid mitochondrial carrier family (MCF). The average evolutionary distances between various regions in the MCF shows that...
