Protein translocation across the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane.
About 25% to 30% of the bacterial proteins function in the cell envelope or outside of the cell. These proteins are synthesized in the cytosol, and the vast majority is recognized as a ribosome-bound nascent chain by the signal recognition particle (SRP) or by the secretion-dedicated chaperone SecB. Subsequently, they are targeted to the Sec translocase in the cytoplasmic membrane, a multimeric...
متن کاملStructural Mechanisms of Voltage Sensing in G Protein-Coupled Receptors
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form the largest superfamily of membrane proteins and one-third of all drug targets in humans. A number of recent studies have reported evidence for substantial voltage regulation of GPCRs. However, the structural basis of GPCR voltage sensing has remained enigmatic. Here, we present atomistic simulations on the δ-opioid and M2 muscarinic receptors, which sug...
متن کاملMicrobiome alterations are related to an imbalance of immune response and bacterial translocation in BDL-rats
Objective(s): Bacterial translocation in patients with cirrhosis is an important triggering factor for infections and mortality. In the bile duct ligation (BDL) model, crucial players of bacterial translocation are still unknown. This study aims to determine the interrelation between microbiome composition in the colon, mesenteric lymph nodes, and liver, as well as the...
متن کاملThe structure of the bacterial protein translocation complex SecYEG.
Proteins destined for secretion, membrane insertion or organellar import contain signal sequences that direct them to the membrane. Once there, transport machines receive and translocate them appropriately across or into the membrane. The related SecY and Sec61 protein translocation complexes are ubiquitous components of machines that are essential for protein transport. They co-operate with va...

original form after stretching but can also be irreversibly deformed. This viscoelasticity makes clots stiff enough to stem blood flow but pliable enough not to become obstructive. Weisel’s group investigated the mechanical properties of individual fibers that confer viscoelasticity to clots. They used laser tweezers to pull on beads attached to fibrin fibers within clots that were prepared fro...
