Ion selectivity of gram-negative bacterial porins.
Twelve different porins from the gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhimurium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Yersinia pestis were reconstituted into lipid bilayer membranes. Most of the porins, except outer membrane protein P, formed large, water-filled, ion-permeable channels with a single-channel conductance between 1.5 and 6 nS in 1 M KCl. The ions used for probing the pore ...
متن کاملThe multiple facets of multiple sclerosis.
INTRODUCTION Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory and degenerative entity that may involve the brain, optic nerve, and/or the spinal cord. We reviewed 137 patients, aged 4-54 years old at the time of the diagnosis and will report on the vision, different motility disorders found, visual fields, optic neuritis and RAPD, return of vision following the neuritis, visual evoked potential, nerv...
متن کاملThe multiple facets of Per2.
The Period 2 (Per2) gene is an important component of the circadian system. It appears to be not only part of the core oscillator mechanism, but also part of the input and output pathways of the clock. Because of its involvement at multiple levels of the circadian system, Per2 needs to meet a variety of different demands. We discuss how Per2 might be able to fulfill multiple functions by review...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of general bacterial porins: a phylogenomic case study.
Bacterial porin proteins allow for the selective movement of hydrophilic solutes through the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. The purpose of this study was to clarify the evolutionary relationships among the Type 1 general bacterial porins (GBPs), a porin protein subfamily that includes outer membrane proteins ompC and ompF among others. Specifically, we investigated the potential util...
متن کاملBacterial secretins form constitutively open pores akin to general porins.
Proteins called secretins form large multimeric complexes that are essential for macromolecular transit across the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Evidence suggests that the channels formed by some secretin complexes are not tightly closed, but their permeability properties have not been well characterized. Here, we used cell-free synthesis coupled with spontaneous insertion into lipo...
