Article Abstract
Bacterial membrane proteins account for around one-third of the proteome in many species and can represent much more than half of the mass of the membranes. Classic techniques in cell biology can be applied to characterize bacterial membranes and their membrane protein constituents, and here we describe a protocol for the purification of outer membranes and inner membranes from Escherichia coli. This allows for compositional analysis of the membranes as well as functional analyses. The procedure can be applied with minor modifications to other bacterial species including those carrying capsular polysaccharide attached to the outer membrane.

Purpose: mutations are classically seen in non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs), and EGFR-directed inhibitors have changed the therapeutic landscape in patients with -mutated NSCLC. The real-world prevalence of -mutated ovarian cancers has not been previously described. We aim to determine the prevalence of pathogenic or likely pathogenic mutations in ovarian cancer and describe a case of -mutated metastatic ovarian cancer with a durable response to osimertinib, an EGFR-directed targeted therapy.

The hallmarks of mechanosensitive ion channels have been observed for half a century in various cell lines, although their mechanisms and molecular identities remained unknown until recently. Identification of the bona fide mammalian mechanosensory Piezo channels resulted in an explosion of research exploring the translation of mechanical cues into biochemical signals and dynamic cell morphology responses. One of the Piezo isoforms - Piezo1 - is integral in the erythrocyte (red blood cell; RBC) membrane.

Angiotensin II (Ang II) releases inflammatory mediators from several cell types. The objective of this study was to investigate the potential of Ang II to induce mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators in primary cultured fibroblast-like cells isolated from gingival and periodontal ligament tissues. A synergistic effect of co-treatment with Ang II and Interleukin-1β (IL1β) on the mRNA expression of inflammatory mediators was explored.

Canonical activation of G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) by hormone binding occurs at the plasma membrane, resulting in the diffusion of second messengers to intracellular effector sites throughout the cell. In contrast, recent evidence suggests that functional GPCRs can induce signaling from distinct intracellular domains, contributing to specificity in signaling. Functional adrenergic receptors have been identified at intracellular sites in the cardiac myocyte such as endosomes, the sarcoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi and the inner nuclear membrane.

Sequestration of Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (IE) in the microvasculature is a major virulence determinant. While the sequestration of mature stage parasites (trophozoite and schizonts) to vascular endothelium is well established, the conditions that promote ring-stage IE sequestration is less understood. Here, we observed in ring-stage parasites that febrile exposure increased transcript levels of several exported parasite genes involved in the trafficking of the P.
