A 3D model of the voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC).
Eukaryotic porins are a group of membrane proteins whose best known role is to form an aqueous pore channel in the mitochondrial outer membrane. As opposed to the bacterial porins (a large family of protein whose 3D structure has been determined by X-ray diffraction), the structure of eukaryotic porins (also termed VDACs, voltage-dependent anion-selective channels) is still a matter of debate. ...
متن کاملInvolvement of voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC) in dengue infection
During infection, dengue virus (DENV) proteins interact with host cellular constituents promoting the remodeling of the cell to facilitate virus production. While a number of interacting proteins have been identified for DENV non-structural proteins, far fewer interacting partners have been identified for the DENV structural proteins. One protein that has been identified as a DENV E protein int...
متن کاملPlasmalemmal VDAC-1 corroborated as amyloid Aß-receptor
Some 40 years ago while spending the night in front of TV and waiting for Neil Armstrong to step down the lander of Apollo 11 to the surface of the moon, indeed, I could not imagine to witness, another event of corresponding relevance for mankind in my lifetime. However, the recent report by Siemers and colleges on slowing down progress of Alzheimer Disease of people showing mild but proven Alz...
متن کاملThe voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC): function in intracellular signalling, cell life and cell death.
Research over the last decade has extended the prevailing view of mitochondria to include functions well beyond the critical bioenergetics role in supplying ATP. It is now recognized that mitochondria play a crucial role in cell signaling events, inter-organelle communication, aging, many diseases, cell proliferation and cell death. Apoptotic signal transmission to the mitochondria results in t...
متن کاملAtlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology VDAC 1 ( voltage - dependent anion channel 1 )
Voltage-dependent anion-selective channel protein 1 (VDAC1, accession number: NP_003365.1) encodes for a protein product length of 283. VDAC1 regulates the flux of mostly anionic metabolites through the outer mitochondrial membrane, which is highly permeable to small molecules. VDAC is the most abundant protein in the outer membrane. Changes in membrane potentials can switch VDAC between open o...
