ATP-binding cassette transporters, atherosclerosis, and inflammation.
Although recent genome-wide association studies have called into question the causal relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels and cardiovascular disease, ongoing research in animals and cells has produced increasing evidence that cholesterol efflux pathways mediated by ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters and HDL suppress atherosclerosis. These differing perspec...
متن کاملAbc Transporters in Mitochondria
Mitochondria are essential organelles of most eukaryotic cells including fungi, invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. They perform various processes such as oxidative phosphorylation, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, the biosynthesis of various amino acids, the generation of iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters and their insertion into apoproteins, as well as partial reactions of hem...
متن کاملStructure of ABC transporters.
ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporters are primary active membrane proteins that translocate solutes (allocrites) across lipid bilayers. The prototypical ABC transporter consists of four domains: two cytoplasmic NBDs (nucleotide-binding domains) and two TMDs (transmembrane domains). The NBDs, whose primary sequence is highly conserved throughout the superfamily, bind and hydrolyse ATP to power...
متن کاملGout, genetics and ABC transporters
Gout is a chronic arthritic disease associated with high levels of urate in blood. Recent advances in research have permitted the identification of several new and common genetic factors underlying the disease. Among them, a polymorphism in the ABC transporter gene ATP-binding cassette transporter isoform G2 has been highlighted. ATP-binding cassette transporter isoform G2 was found to be invol...
متن کاملPeroxisomal ABC transporters.
The set of proteins found in the membranes of mammalian peroxisomes includes four half ABC transporters (ALDP, ALDR, PMP70, P70R) comprising a distinct subset of the superfamily of ABC transporters designated subfamily D. Each has an N-terminal hydrophobic transmembrane domain with multiple transmembrane segments (TMS) and a hydrophilic C-terminal half containing a nucleotide-binding domain (NB...
