Abstract

The coat protein (CP) of bacteriophage f1 is integrated into an Escherichia coli plasma membrane fraction consisting of inverted vesicles when it is synthesized in a cell-free, coupled transcription--translation system supplemented with the inverted vesicles. By using proteolytic enzymes as probes, we found by subsequent peptide mapping and determination of the sequence of the proteolytic products that CP was inserted into the inverted vesicles in an orientation indistinguishable from that in inverted vesicles prepared from infected E. coli: only a COOH-terminal portion of approximately 10 residues was accessible to proteolysis, whereas the remainder of CP (CP') was entirely protected. Protection of CP' was dependent on the integrity of the vesicle membrane, because it was abolished when proteolysis was done in the presence of nonionic detergents. Insertion was observed when the inverted vesicles were present during translation in the cell-free system, not when they were added after translation. Thus, the asymmetric insertion of this type of integral membrane protein is strictly coupled to translation. These findings are discussed with respect to prokaryotic membrane biogenesis and are related to bacteriophage f1 assembly and i...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.
