The translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex is the main entry gate used by most nucleus-encoded mitochondrial precursor proteins. Presequence-carrying preproteins are then imported by the ...

Importantly, recent studies have revealed that the dynamic ER network physically interacts with other intracellular organelles and endomembrane compartments, such as the Golgi complex, mitochondria, ...

Outer layers of cell Cell membrane, surrounded by cell wall in ... cell organelles include mitochondria, ribosomes and chloroplasts in plants. Cytoplasm, ribosomes present; there are no ...

Real-time dynamics of protein translocation across bacterial membrane using high-speed atomic force microscopy (HS-AFM). This visualization reveals how the SecYEG-SecA complex facilitates protein ...

They also have a sophisticated plumbing system in the form of a three-part protein complex -- MacAB-TolC -- that spans the cell's inner and outer membranes, as well as the periplasm that connects ...

hydroxyleucine at position 7 in leucinostatin A is identified as the key responsible moiety for specific ATP synthase inhibition and systemic toxicity. Our data suggest that efficient antiprotozoal ...

The results highlight the importance of mRNA molecules in membrane targeting and co-ordination of the assembly of photosynthetic complexes. The chloroplasts of plants and algae are descended from free ...

(19) AEPs are confirmed to be associated with C-terminal cleavage and head-to-tail cyclization. (28) Many of the functions exerted by cyclotides can be attributed to cytotoxicity through association ...

Their results show that the basic units of the photosynthetic membranes of the chloroplasts shrink by only 1 nm following water loss, but recover 18 hours after rewatering. Drought and evolution ...
