Functional and structural characterization of Serratia marcescens ExbB: determinants of the interaction with HasB/TonB
ExbBD is part of a cytoplasmic membrane molecular motor driven by the proton-motive force. It belongs to the larger family of motors involved in nutriment import across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria (ExbBD), flagellar rotation (MotAB) or lat ...
2021Mechanisms of DNA Uptake by Naturally Competent Bacteria
Transformation is a widespread mechanism of horizontal gene transfer in bacteria. DNA uptake to the periplasmic compartment requires a DNA-uptake pilus and the DNA-binding protein ComEA. In the gram-negative bacteria, DNA is first pulled toward the outer m ...
2019Properties of Enzymes Involved in Tetrachloroethene Respiration
Tetrachloroethene (PCE) pollution threatens nature and human health due to its toxic and carcinogenic potential. Due to industrial activities, large amounts of PCE were discharged into the environment over the last decades and represent one of major ground ...
EPFL2017Transcellular Pathways in Lymphatic Endothelial Cells Regulate Changes in Solute Transport by Fluid Stress
Marco Pisano, Valentina Triacca, Melody Swartz, Witold Waldemar Kilarski, Esra Güç
Rationale: The transport of interstitial fluid and solutes into lymphatic vessels is important for maintaining interstitial homeostasis and delivering antigens and soluble factors to the lymph node for immune surveillance. Transendothelial transport across ...
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins2017Ultrathin Alumina Membranes as Scaffold for Epithelial Cell Culture from the Intestine of Rainbow Trout
Philippe Renaud, Kristin Schirmer, Songmei Wu, Carolin Drieschner
Permeable membranes are indispensable for in vitro epithelial barrier models. However, currently available polymer-based membranes are low in porosity and relatively thick, resulting in a limited permeability and unrealistic culture conditions. In this stu ...
Amer Chemical Soc2017Bile Acids Trigger GLP-1 Release Predominantly by Accessing Basolaterally Located G Protein-Coupled Bile Acid Receptors
Bile acids are well-recognized stimuli of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion. This action has been attributed to activation of the G protein-coupled bile acid receptor GPBAR1 (TGR5), although other potential bile acid sensors include the nuclear far ...
Endocrine Soc2015Axial heterogeneity of apical water permeability along rabbit kidney proximal tubule
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg
In the rabbit nephron, the luminal membrane surface area of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is more than twice that of the proximal straight tubule (PST). What seemed to be an increase in histological specialization in solute and water transport is cu ...
