Biochemical Characterization of ATP-Binding Cassette Transporter G1 Mediated Cholesterol Efflux
DownloadSpring 2012
ABCG1 mediates cholesterol efflux onto lipidated apolipoprotein A-I and plays an important role in macrophage reverse cholesterol transport, thereby preventing atherosclerosis. However, how ABCG1 mediates cholesterol efflux is unclear. We found that Cys514 located within the third putative...

Raman and Raman optical activity (ROA) spectroscopy are a set of especially effective spectroscopic practices for measuring the vibrational transitions of molecules in solution. They are particularly well suited for measurements of aqueous solutions because of the relatively little Raman...

Functional and topological analysis of yeast acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 2, an endoplasmic reticulum enzyme essential for triacylglycerol biosynthesis
Download2011
Siloto, Rodrigo M. P., Snyder, Crystal L., Liu, Qin, Weselake, Randall J.
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.20) is a membrane protein present mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum. It catalyzes the final and committed step in the biosynthesis of triacylglycerol, which is the principal repository of fatty acids for energy utilization and membrane...

The mammalian Na+/H+ exchanger isoform 1 (NHE1) is a ubiquitous membrane protein that exchanges one intracellular H+ for an extracellular Na+, thereby regulating cell pH and volume. NHE1 catalytic activity is mediated by a transmembrane (TM) domain with 12 transmembrane segments. We performed...

Multiple mechanisms contribute to increased neutral lipid accumulation in yeast producing recombinant variants of plant diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1

Shah, Saleh, Xu, Yang, Ramakrishnan, Geetha, Caldo, Kristian Mark P., Chen, Guanqun, Ozga, Jocelyn, Greer, Michael S., Lemieux, M. Joanne, Wu, Limin, Weselake, Randall J.
The apparent bottleneck in the accumulation of oil during seed development in some oleaginous plant species is the formation of triacylglycerol (TAG) by the acyl-CoA-dependent acylation of sn-1,2- diacylglycerol catalyzed by diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3.1.20). Improving DGAT...

Phosphorylation status of 72 kDa MMP-2 determines its structure and activity in response to peroxynitrite
Download2013-01-01
Jacob-Ferreira, Anna Laura, Kondo, Marcia Yuri, Baral, Pravas Kumar, James, Michael N., Holt, Andrew, Fan, Xiaohu, Schulz, Richard
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) is a key intra- and extra-cellular protease which contributes to several oxidative stress related pathologies. A molecular understanding of 72 kDa MMP-2 activity, directly mediated by S-glutathiolation of its cysteine residues in the presence of peroxynitrite...
