The product of the gef gene is a cytoplasmatic membrane protein whose 19 N-terminal hydrophobic amino acids constitute a membrane-spanning segment, probably in the form of an alpha-helix structure that anchors the protein to the membrane.
LRP-1 also constitutes a membrane target for numerous proteinases.
M. extorquens AM1 also contains a second putative periplasmic cobalt chelatase (META1_0967), as well as an operon encoding two factors known to constitute a cytoplasmic membrane cobalt transport system (CbtA (META1_1332) and CbtB (META1_1333)).
It is clear that ESCRT-III and Vps4 constitute a 'minimal' membrane scission machinery.
The group of ABC transporters, PknK, and Rv1354c were proposed to constitute a potential membrane-associated signaling pathway that cooperatively responds to environmental stresses in M. tuberculosis.
Our analysis suggests that the coordination of a group of ATPase subunits of the ABC transporters, PknK and Rv1354c constitute a potential membrane-associated signaling pathway and all represent potential drug targets.
Peripheral membrane proteins of the plasma membrane constitute a central node connecting the plasma membrane with the entire cell, as they can detach themselves from the membrane plane and interact with proteins with multiple subcellular locations inside the cell.
Two LAMEEs can also be used to constitute a run-around membrane energy exchanger (RAMEE) system to recover heat and moisture from exhaust air in buildings.
The LUVs comprise of the lipids 1,2-dioleoyl-phosphocholine (DOPC), 1,2-dipalmitoyl-phosphocholine (DPPC), and cholesterol, as these species constitute a proven model membrane system for which the phase behavior is well described.
The ADAM-integrin-tetraspanin complex, known to constitute a network of membrane microdomains called the tetraspanin web, is potentially involved in the migration of prespermatogonia from the center to the periphery of the testicular cords and in the reinitiation of mitotic activity during the initial wave of spermatogenesis [ 28].
