By analyzing E. coli protein levels, scientists found a surplus of membrane shuttle proteins that may play a role in antibiotic resistance.

Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

Here, using domain swap experiments involving the tether protein SYT1, we have obtained evidence that any BiFC complex that involves one integral membrane protein and one peripheral membrane protein ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation. Researchers at University of Tsukuba have demonstrated that a protein ...

Protein palmitoylation modification of S protein could be catalyzed by a family of zinc finger DHHC domain-containing protein palmitoyltransferases (ZDHHCs). The intracellular trafficking and membrane ...
