Vesicle transfer processes in eukaryotes depend on specific proteins, which mediate the
selective packing of cargo molecules for subsequent release out of the cells after vesicle …

VMP1 and DedA proteins are conserved families of transmembrane proteins in eukaryotes
and prokaryotes respectively. Despite numerous reports involving these proteins in multiple …

Membrane proteins of the DedA/Tvp38 protein family are involved in membrane integrity
and virulence of pathogenic organisms. However, the structure and exact function of any …

The vesicle‐inducing protein in plastids (VIPP1) is essential for the biogenesis of thylakoid
membranes in cyanobacteria and plants. VIPP1 and its bacterial ancestor PspA form large …

Dynamin-related protein 2A (AtDRP2A, formally ADL6), a member of the dynamin family, is
critical for protein trafficking from the TGN to the central vacuole. However, the mechanism …

Approximately 18% of Arabidopsis thaliana proteins encode a signal peptide for
translocation to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the gateway of the eukaryotic secretory …

Prokaryotic extracellular vesicles (EVs) are vesicles that bud from the cell membrane and
are secreted by bacteria and archaea. EV cargo in Gram-negative bacteria includes mostly …

J-domain cochaperones confer functional specificity to their heat shock protein (HSP) 70
partner by recruiting it to specific substrate proteins. To gain insight into the functions of …

The yeast DRS2 gene, which is required for growth at 23° C or below, encodes a member of
a P-type ATPase subgroup reported to transport aminophospholipids between the leaflets of …

Membrane traffic in eukaryotic cells requires that specific v-SNAREs on transport vesicles
interact with specific t-SNAREs on target membranes. We identified a novel Saccharomyces …
