Journal ArticleDOI

Type I secretion systems - a story of appendices.

TL;DR: The function of the appendix and the differences that might exist among the three families of T1SS are compared and the current knowledge of these one-step transport machineries are summarized with emphasis on the N-terminal extensions found in many Type I-specific ABC transporters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal Structures of the Choline/Acetylcholine Substrate-binding Protein ChoX from Sinorhizobium meliloti in the Liganded and Unliganded-Closed States

TL;DR: Fluorescence-based ligand binding assays used to quantitate substrate binding by the periplasmic ligand-binding protein ChoX confirmed that ChoX recognizes choline and acetylcholine with high and medium affinity, respectively, and solved the crystal structures of ChoX in a closed, substrate-free conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional characterization and ATP-induced dimerization of the isolated ABC-domain of the haemolysin B transporter.

TL;DR: Experimental data showed that both the nature and pH of an assay buffer influenced the level of protein activity, and comparative analysis of protein stability and ATPase activity in various buffers suggests an inverse relationship between the two.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular organization of histidine-tagged biomolecules at self-assembled lipid interfaces using a novel class of chelator lipids.

TL;DR: By synthesis of a class of chelator lipids, this concept represents a powerful technique for orientation and organization of proteins at lipid interfaces with applications in biosensing, biofunctionalization of nanostructured interfaces, two-dimensional crystallization, and studies of lipid-anchored proteins.
