The alpha-toxin from Staphylococcus aureus undergoes several conformational changes from the time it is released from the bacterium to the moment it forms a channel in the plasma membrane of its target cell. It is initially a soluble monomer, which undergo ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) constitute by far the largest family of transmembrane cell-surface proteins involved in signal transduction and are the most important targets for the development of novel therapeutic compounds. Many processes mediated by ...
Pneumocystis jirovecii is a fungus which causes severe opportunistic infections in immunocompromised humans. The brl1 gene of P. carinii infecting rats was identified and characterized by using bioinformatics in conjunction with functional complementation ...
In vertebrates, different isoforms of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2) exist, which differ by their N-terminal extension. They show different localization and expression levels and exert distinct biological effects. Nevertheless, genetic inactivation of a ...
Membrane protein research depends largely on the availability of functional protein in an instrumental set-up for application of biophysical investigations. We used an in vitro synthesis strategy in the presence of a solid supported lipid membrane as a new ...

Proteins exist in one of two generally incompatible states: either membrane associated or soluble. Pore-forming proteins are exceptional because they are synthesized as a water-soluble molecule but end up being located in the membrane -- that is, they are ...
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute a large class of seven transmembrane proteins, which bind selectively agonists or antagonists with important consequences for cellular signaling and function. Comprehension of the mol. details of ligand bindin ...
14-3-3 proteins are phosphoserine/threonine-binding proteins that play important roles in many regulatory processes, including intracellular protein targeting. 14-3-3 proteins can anchor target proteins in the cytoplasm and in the nucleus or can mediate th ...
The findings of two recent studies suggest a novel mechanism for nuclear envelope breakdown in which cytoplasmic dynein anchored on the outside of the nucleus generates tension, thus triggering tearing of the nuclear envelope. ...
