Protein lipidation, including cysteine prenylation, N-terminal glycine myristoylation, cysteine
palmitoylation, and serine and lysine fatty acylation, occurs in many proteins in eukaryotic …

The human body generates 10–100 billion cells every day, and the same number of cells
die to maintain homeostasis in our body. Cells infected by bacteria or viruses also die. The …

Understanding protective immunity to COVID-19 facilitates preparedness for future
pandemics and combats new SARS-CoV-2 variants emerging in the human population …

Protein S-acylation, the only fully reversible posttranslational lipid modification of proteins, is
emerging as a ubiquitous mechanism to control the properties and function of a diverse …

Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a quantitatively minor membrane phospholipid that is
synthesized by prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. In this review we focus on genes and …

This paper reviews the current knowledge on the various mechanisms for transbilayer, or flip-
flop, lipid motion in model and cell membranes, enzyme-assisted lipid transfer by flippases …

The primary life-supporting function of cytochrome c (cyt c) is control of cellular energetic
metabolism as a mobile shuttle in the electron transport chain of mitochondria. Recently, cyt …

Phospholipid scramblases are a group of homologous proteins that are conserved in all
eukaryotic organisms. They are believed to be involved in destroying plasma membrane …

The anthrax toxin is composed of three independent polypeptide chains. Successful
intoxication only occurs when heptamerization of the receptor-binding polypeptide, the …

Phospholipid scramblase activity is involved in the collapse of phospholipid (PL) asymmetry
at the plasma membrane leading to externalization of phosphatidylserine. This activity is …
