The bacterial lipid membrane, consisting both of fatty acid (acyl) tails and polar head groups, responds to changing conditions through alteration of either the acyl tails and/or head groups. This plasticity is critical for cell survival as it allows maintenance of both the protective nature of t...
Members of the Omp85 superfamily of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) found in Gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts are characterized by a distinctive 16-stranded β-barrel transmembrane domain and at least one periplasmic POTRA domain. All previously studied Omp85 proteins promote c...
Enhancing the nation's beef supply and guaranteeing long-term food security requires increasing the effectiveness of artificial insemination (AI) in Bali cattle (Bos javanicus). Cryotolerance, or post-thaw variability in semen quality, limits AI results and probably reflects systemic and cellular...
