Mass spectrometry–based proteomic analysis of an osteocyte line, MLO-Y4, was conducted to profile global protein expression changes under two experimental settings, 1) CRISPR-Cas9-based knockout of CFTR versus wild-type; 2) Cl- deprivation versus normal extracellular medium.
Gut-resident bacteria must withstand membrane-disrupting stresses such as bile acids to persist in the intestinal environment. The Bacteroidota are a dominant phylum of the human gut microbiota. However, the genes responsible for synthesis of membrane lipids in this phylum remain relatively uncha...
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...
