Small-conductance mechanosensitive channel
Mechanosensitive (MS) channels provide protection against hypo-osmotic shock responding both to stretching of the cell membrane and to membrane depolarisation. They are present in the membranes of organisms from the […]
Bacterial potassium transporter
This protein family consists of various potassium transport proteins (Trk) and V-type sodium ATP synthase subunit J or translocating ATPase J (EC). These proteins are involved in active sodium uptake […]
Bacterial binding protein-dependent transporter
Bacterial binding protein-dependent transport systems are multicomponent systems typically composed of a periplasmic substrate-binding protein one or two reciprocally homologous integral inner-membrane proteins and one or two peripheral membrane ATP-binding […]
Polysulfide reductase
Polysulfide reductase (NrfD) is an integral transmembrane protein with loops in both the periplasm and the cytoplasm. NrfD is thought to participate in the transfer of electrons from the quinone […]
Calcineurin-like phosphoesterase
This family of calcineurin-like phosphoesterases includes a diverse range of phosphoesterases including protein phosphoserine phosphatases nucleotidases sphingomyelin phosphodiesterases and 2′-3′ cAMP phosphodiesterases as well as some bacterial nucleases. The most […]
Concentrative nucleoside transporter
Human concentrative nucleoside transporters include SLC28A1 SLC28A2 and SLC28A3 proteins. SLC28A2 is a purine-specific Na+-nucleoside cotransporter localised to the bile canalicular membrane. SLC28A1 is a Na+-dependent nucleoside transporter selective for […]
EHMT1
Euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EHMT1 gene.The protein encoded by this gene is a histone methyltransferase that is part of the […]
Pleurocidin
Pleurocidin family of antimicrobial peptides was found in the skin mucous secretions of the winter flounder (Pleuronectes americanus) and these peptides exhibit antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli. The formula is […]
Latarcin
Latarcins are short antimicrobial peptides from the venom of the spider Lachesana tarabaevi. Latarcins adopt amphipathic alpha-helical structure in the plasma membrane.
