Ammonium transport proteins, integral to the Mep/Amt/Rh family, constitute a fundamental component of nitrogen regulation across all domains of life. These specialised membrane channels facilitate the ...

The secretory pathway in eukaryotic cells is crucial for maintaining cellular function and physiological activities, as it ...

The study of peptide transport mechanisms and membrane proteins has gained considerable momentum as researchers unravel the molecular intricacies underlying nutrient uptake, intracellular signalling ...

Peroxisomes are essential cell organelles that play a vital role in lipid metabolism and cellular detoxification. To perform ...

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how are they positioned where they need to be? For example, plants need boron, ...

The microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that live quietly in our body-plays a crucial role in shaping human health by providing a variety of micronutrients necessary for vital ...

Malaria kills over 600,000 people a year, and as the climate warms, the potential range of the disease is growing. While some drugs can effectively prevent and treat malaria, resistance to those drugs ...

This illustration shows how the membrane trafficking protein VAMP72 gradually changed during plant evolution to give rise to VAMP727, which functions in transporting storage proteins to vacuoles. The ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane. Botanists have come to understand the channels and ...

A supercomputer has helped to create an artificial intelligence model that deciphers the “language of proteins.” ...
