Protein complex in bacterial cell membrane acts like a rotary motor to recruit DNA-degrading enzymes to defend against phage ...

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Many cellular processes have important mechanochemical components. These include some obvious mechanical activities such as endocytosis, cell motility and membrane resealing, but also others, such ...

A new discovery from an international collaborative research team has solved the mystery of how cells turn on their recycling ...

Scientists have uncovered the equipment that enables bacteria to survive exposure to antibiotics: a shuttling mechanism that helps a complex of proteins pump out a wide spectrum of antibiotics along ...

Endosomal recycling is a branch of intracellular membrane trafficking that retrieves endocytosed cargo proteins from early and late endosomes to prevent their degradatio ...

A new study shows how an anticancer drug triggers an "outside in" signal that gets it sucked into a cancer cell. The work, ...

Credit: Technology Networks. Eukaryotic cells are large (around 10–100 μm) and complex. While most eukaryotes are multicellular organisms, there are some single-cell eukaryotes. 9 Within a eukaryotic ...

Munson said. "The complex recognizes the right vessel, the right place on the cell surface and the right time for the cargo to be delivered. It does that by talking to the membrane fusion protein." ...
