A new study highlighting the importance of a large protein complex called the exocyst in cell growth, division and ...

Integral membrane proteins carry out essential functions in the cell, and their activities are often modulated by specific protein-lipid interactions in the membrane. Here, we elucidate the intricate ...

JERUSALEM, Jan. 21 (Xinhua) -- Researchers have identified ancient proteins that may help explain how the first complex cells evolved from simpler ones over 1.5 billion years ago, Israel's Ben-Gurion ...

Synaptic vesicle docking and fusion are mediated by the assembly of a stable SNARE core complex of proteins, which include the synaptic vesicle membrane protein VAMP/synaptobrevin and the ...

This valuable study investigates how the proteins of the Cdv division system in Metallosphaera sedula archaea sequentially interact with curved membranes in vitro, extending our understanding of this ...

Protein translocation is a process by which proteins move between cellular compartments. Short amino-acid sequences within a protein, known as signal peptides or signal sequences, can direct its ...
