Here we report that FUNDC1, an integral mitochondrial outer-membrane protein, is a receptor for hypoxia-induced mitophagy. FUNDC1 interacted with LC3 through its typical LC3-binding motif Y ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have solved a 60-year-old mystery in bacterial cell envelope ...

In simple terms, a bacterium like E. coli can change its outer membrane protein coat in just two generations. Professor Kleanthous and Dr Baumann believe that their ongoing collaborative work, ...

Sporulation may have given rise to the bacterial outer membrane Date: September 4, 2011 Source: California Institute of Technology Summary: Bacteria can generally be divided into two classes ...

Membrane proteins, such as receptors, ion channels, and transporters, comprise nearly 30% of all proteins in eukaryotic cells. They also constitute more than 50% of all drug targets.

Scientists have described the utility of gram-negative bacteria-derived outer membrane vesicles as vaccines and methods to expand their applications.

How the protein patchwork of the outer membrane might affect the strength of a bacteria's protective covering or how it could help combat antibiotic resistance is not yet known.

Topological confinement by a membrane anchor suppresses phase separation into protein aggregates: Implications for prion diseases. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , 2024; 122 (1 ...
