NUCLEAR ENVELOPE TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN DISTRIBUTION AND TRANSPORT STUDIED BY SINGLE-MOLECULE MICROSCOPY
… nucleus and cytoplasm by forming a barrier. NE transmembrane proteins (NETs) embedded in either the outer nuclear membrane (ONM) or the inner nuclear membrane (INM) play crucial roles in both nuclear structure and functions, including: genome architecture, epigenetics, transcription, splicing, …

CHARACTERIZATION OF TRANSMEMBRANE PROTEIN 35 EXPRESSION: CONSIDERATIONS OF SEX AND OVARIAN HORMONES
<p>The recently discovered novel neuropeptide transmembrane protein 35 (TMEM35), is believed to modulate chemical signaling within the nervous system. Notably, the TMEM35 protein is detectable in humans, non-human primates and rodents, suggesting a conserved and critical function. Despite this, the …

Functional studies on the transmembrane protein encoded by the TM20 gene in maize
… worden, das für eine neue Klasse von Transmembranproteinen kodiert. Die Mutation blockiert die Entwicklung von Embryo und Endosperm in der Transitionsphase. Die vohergesagte Proteinstruktur zeichnet sich durch zwanzig hydrophobe Segmente aus, die in f ünf Gruppen von je vier Segmenten …

Modification of Lipid Microenvironments on Solid Support Structures for Use in Transmembrane Protein Assays
<p>Gamma-Secretase (γ-secretase) is a transmembrane protease of increasing interest, which has been shown to have significant connections to both cancer and Alzheimer’s disease. γ-secretase cleaves both Notch-1, a transmembrane signaling protein, and Amyloid precursor protein (APP), a transmembrane …

Self assembled transmembrane protein polymer conjugates for the generation of nano thin membranes and micro compartments
… stimuli responsive membranes with an embedded transmembrane protein to act as the pore. The membranes were formed by crosslinking of transmembrane protein polymer conjugates. The conjugates were self assembled on air water interface and the polymer chains crosslinked using a UV crosslinkable …

THE ROLE OF NIEMANN-PICK C1-LIKE 1 (NPC1L1) PROTEIN IN CHOLESTEROL TRANSPORT AND METABOLIC DISEASES
Niemann-Pick C1-Like 1 (NPC1L1) is a polytopic transmembrane protein critical for intestinal absorption of dietary and biliary cholesterol. Ezetimibe, by inhibiting NPC1L1 function, is widely used to lower blood cholesterol in humans. Recently, NPC1L1 deficiency or ezetimibe treatment has been …

Investigating the parameters affecting the sensitivity of a protein nanopore sensor
… to design a nanopore sensor for sampling peptide-protein and protein- protein interaction. To pave the way for designing a high-throughput wearable nanopore sensor, we will investigate a few of the parameters that can potentially influence the sensitivity and reproducibility of a sensor and …

Synthetic Strategies and Design of Highly Luminescent Cholinomimetic Quantum Dots
<p>The high affinity choline uptake transmembrane protein (CHT) is an important part of the cholinergic transport cycle and yet the structure of this transmembrane protein has still not been determined. The concentration and functionality of choline has been observed to be depleted in …

HUMAN CLCA2 IS A P53-DEPENDENT ZINC METALLOPROTEASE AND ITS INTERACTION WITH EVA1 MAINTAINS DIFFERENTIATION OF HUMAN MAMMARY EPITHELIAL CELLS
CLCA2 is a p53-inducible transmembrane protein that is frequently downregulated in breast cancer. CLCA2 is a 943 amino acid type I transmembrane protein that is cleaved near amino acid 700 to produce a diffusible 100kD product. The N-terminus contains a hydrolase-like domain with well-conserved …

Mechanisms Of Presynaptic CaV2 Calcium Channel Localization In Caenorhabditis Elegans
… CALF-1 is a neuronal-specific one-pass transmembrane protein that resides in the endoplasmic reticulum, and is required for endoplasmic reticulum exit of UNC-2. Structure-function analysis revealed that the transmembrane domain and the cytosolic arginine-based basic motifs are important …

Interactions between Human Two-pore Channels and Nonaspanin Proteins
… Here I find that TM9SF1, a nine-spanning transmembrane protein and human two-pore channels (TPCs) regulate cell autophagy. More importantly, TM9SF1 and TPCs are found in endolysosomal system, and among all TM9SF family, only TM9SF1 interacts with TPC2 structurally, which suggests that …

Cloning and Sequencing of Bovine Na+/K= Atpase α-1 Sub-Unit
… also called the Na+ pump, is a crucial transmembrane protein. By transporting water and ions from and through the cornea into the aqueous humor, it is responsible for maintenance of structural integrity, corneal hydration and thereby transparency of the cornea. The Na+ pump is …

Identification of TMEM2 as a SOX4 Transcriptional Target Involved in Breast Cancer Metastasis
… molecular and genomic approach, we identify the transmembrane protein 2 (TMEM2) gene as a direct transcriptional target of SOX4. TMEM2 is transcriptionally activated by SOX4 in both breast cancer and lung adenocarcinoma cells and mediates pro-invasive and pro-migratory effects of SOX4. TMEM2, …

The Role of Membrane Lipid Composition on Sarco(endo)plasmic Reticulum Calcium ATPase Function in Rat Soleus Muscle
… reticulum calcium ATPase (SERCA) is a transmembrane protein whose function is regulated by its immediate lipid environment (annulus). The composition of the annulus is currently unknown or it’s susceptibility to a high saturated fat diet (HSFD). Furthermore it is uncertain if HSFD can …

New tools for the discovery of pigment gene function
… in human pigmentation. Many of these encode proteins that localize to the melanosome, the lysosome-related organelle that synthesizes pigment, but have unclear functions. Here, we describe the MelanoIP method for rapidly isolating melanosomes and profiling their labile metabolite contents. We …
