The Legionella pneumophila effector Lpg1137 is a homologue of mitochondrial SLC25 carrier proteins, not of known serine proteases
Many bacterial effector proteins that are delivered to host cells during infection are enzymes targeting host cell signalling. Recently, Legionella pneumophila effector Lpg1137 was experimentally characterised as a serine protease that cleaves human syntaxin 17. We present strong bioinformatic evidence that Lpg1137 is a homologue of mitochondrial carrier proteins and is not related to known ser...
متن کاملThe mitochondrial carnitine carrier protein: cDNA cloning, primary structure and comparison with other mitochondrial transport proteins.
GENBANK/o acid sequence of the rat carnitine carrier protein, a component of the inner membranes of mitochondria, has been deduced from the sequences of overlapping cDNA clones. These clones were generated in polymerase chain reactions with primers and probes based on amino acid sequence information, obtained from the direct sequencing of internal peptides of the purified carnitine carrier prot...
متن کاملThe solute carrier 26 family of proteins in epithelial ion transport.
Transepithelial Cl(-) and HCO(3)(-) transport is critically important for the function of all epithelia and, when altered or ablated, leads to a number of diseases, including cystic fibrosis, congenital chloride diarrhea, deafness, and hypotension (78, 111, 119, 126). HCO(3)(-) is the biological buffer that maintains acid-base balance, thereby preventing metabolic and respiratory acidosis (48)....
متن کاملPhysiological and pathological roles of mitochondrial SLC25 carriers.
The mitochondrion relies on compartmentalization of certain enzymes, ions and metabolites for the sake of efficient metabolism. In order to fulfil its activities, a myriad of carriers are properly expressed, targeted and folded in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Among these carriers, the six-transmembrane-helix mitochondrial SLC25 (solute carrier family 25) proteins facilitate transport of so...
متن کاملSLC25 Family Member Genetic Interactions Identify a Role for HEM25 in Yeast Electron Transport Chain Stability
The SLC25 family member SLC25A38 (Hem25 in yeast) was recently identified as a mitochondrial glycine transporter that provides substrate to initiate heme/hemoglobin synthesis. Mutations in the human SLC25A38 gene cause congenital sideroblastic anemia. The full extent to which SLC25 family members coregulate heme synthesis with other mitochondrial functions is not clear. In this study, we survey...
