Researchers at the University of Adelaide have discovered that a protein which mediates the transport of alkali metal ions, such as potassium, and halide ions across plant membranes acts similarly to ...
BLTP2 is a bridge-like lipid transport protein that operates at contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane. We show that phosphatidylethanolamine is transported to the plasma ...
Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This process is especially important in neurons, which have highly polarized ...
This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...
The molecular mechanisms underlying the transport of influenza A virus (IAV) membrane proteins to the cell surface remain largely unclear. In this study, siRNA screening identifies Rab27a as a ...
Intracellular transport is a vital process that allows cells to move proteins and other molecules to specific locations. This process is especially important in neurons, which have highly polarized ...
Protein molecules are found embedded in the two layers of phospholipids. Membrane proteins have a wide variety of functions. Some allow a cell to respond to specific chemical signals from other cells, ...
A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...
