Bacillus subtilis has emerged as a pre‐eminent model organism for the study and application of protein expression and secretion, owing to its robust secretory pathways and genetic tractability. Its ...

Oxidative stress induced by 6-OHDA stimulates autophagy flux, which enhances STX17-mediated autolysosome formation, leading to the degradation of autophagosomal contents. However, in response to ...

Cells have sophisticated methods of sensing stimuli and communicating with nearby cells in response to these stimuli. For example, macrophages can sense environmental stimuli—tissue damage, foreign ...

Bacterial interaction with plants and animals, symbiotic or pathogenic, involves the transfer to host cells and tissues of a range of bacterial proteins whose biochemical activities are key to ...

A group of international researchers reports the availability of a new “map”’ of every gene, protein, and metabolic pathway required for a cell to efficiently secrete recombinant proteins. The team, ...

A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Endocrinology investigated the role of the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase 42E member 1 (SDR42E1) enzyme in regulating sterol metabolism and ...

Intracellular protein trafficking and secretion of proteins into the extracellular environment are sequential and tightly regulated processes in eukaryotic cells. Conventionally, proteins that are ...
