13. Efeito da atorvastatina sobre a atividade funcional e expressão de transportadores de membrana do tipo ABC e SLC / Effect of atorvastatin on the activity and expression of ABC and SLC membrane transporters.
Os transportadores de membrana do tipo ATP Binding Cassette (ABC) e solute carriers (SLC) regulam a homeostase intracelular de fármacos, modificando a biodisponibilidade e possivelmente a eficácia terapêutica. A variabilidade na resposta a hipolipemiantes, como as vastatinas, tem sido associada a vários fatores genéticos e ambientais. Com a finalidade d

14. Análise da expressão gênica no dermatófito Trichophyton rubrum mimetizando a infecção in vitro: pH e diferentes fontes de carbono regulando genes / Analysis of gene expression in the dermatophyte Trichophyton rubrum during the mimetic infection in vitro: pH and carboun sources are regulating genes
Dermatophytes are a group of fungi filamentous that have the ability to invade keratinized substrates, causing dermatophytosis in humans and animals and only penetrate deeper if the host is immunocompromised. Trichophyton rubrum is an anthropophilic and cosmopolitan fungi, the most common agent of superficial mycoses, which uses cell components such as prote

15. ABC transporters in Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae and Mycoplasma synoviae: insights into evolution and pathogenicity
ABC transporters represent one of the largest superfamilies of active membrane transport proteins (MTPs) with a highly conserved ATPase domain that binds and hydrolyzes ATP, supplying energy for the uptake of a variety of nutrients and for the extrusion of drugs and metabolic wastes. The complete genomes of a non-pathogenic (J) and pathogenic (7448) strain o

16. Role of the ABC transporter PRP1 in pentamidine resistance in Leishmania spp. / Papel do transportador ABC PRP1 na resistência à pentamidina em Leishmania spp.
Little it is known about the mechanism of action of pentamidine, an compound used for leishmaniases chemotherapy. To understand the mechanism of action and resistance of pentamidine, it was isolated a gene that codifies a member of ABC transporter family, named as PRP1 able to confer pentamidine resistance in promastigotes and amastigotes of Leishmania spp.

17. Identification of citrus expressed sequence tags (ESTs) encoding pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR)-like proteins
Pleiotropic drug resistance (PDR) proteins, a subfamily of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters, have been recently shown to play a role in plant defense against biotic and abiotic stresses. However, nothing is known about their expression in citrus. To investigate the occurrence of PDR homologues in citrus species, we have surveyed EST sequences from

18. Blood-Brain Barrier Active Efflux Transporters: ATP-Binding Cassette Gene Family
Summary: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) contributes to brain homeostasis by protecting the brain from potentially harmful endogenous and exogenous substances. BBB active drug efflux transporters of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) gene family are increasingly recognized as important determinants of drug distribution to, and elimination from, the CNS. The ABC ef

19. ABC transporters: bacterial exporters.
The ABC transporters (also called traffic ATPases) make up a large superfamily of proteins which share a common function and a common ATP-binding domain. ABC transporters are classified into three major groups: bacterial importers (the periplasmic permeases), eukaryotic transporters, and bacterial exporters. We present a comprehensive review of the bacterial

20. A Plant Plasma Membrane ATP Binding Cassette–Type Transporter Is Involved in Antifungal Terpenoid Secretion
ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters, which are found in all species, are known mainly for their ability to confer drug resistance. To date, most of the ABC transporters characterized in plants have been localized in the vacuolar membrane and are considered to be involved in the intracellular sequestration of cytotoxins. Working on the assumption that cer

21. Protein secretion by hybrid bacterial ABC-transporters: specific functions of the membrane ATPase and the membrane fusion protein.
The Erwinia chrysanthemi metalloprotease C and the Serratia marcescens haem acquisition protein HasA are both secreted from Gram-negative bacteria by a signal peptide-independent pathway which requires a C-terminal secretion signal and a specific ABC-transporter made up of three proteins: a membrane ATPase (the ABC-protein), a second inner membrane component

22. Mechanism of ABC transporters: A molecular dynamics simulation of a well characterized nucleotide-binding subunit
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are membrane-bound molecular pumps that form one of the largest of all protein families. Several of them are central to phenomena of biomedical interest, including cystic fibrosis and resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs. ABC transporters share a common architecture comprising two hydrophilic nucleotide-binding domains

23. The hFbpABC Transporter from Haemophilus influenzae Functions as a Binding-Protein-Dependent ABC Transporter with High Specificity and Affinity for Ferric Iron
Pathogenic Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria spp. (Neisseria gonorrhoeae and N. meningitidis), Serratia marcescens, and other gram-negative bacteria utilize a periplasm-to-cytosol FbpABC iron transporter. In this study, we investigated the H. influenzae FbpABC transporter in a siderophore-deficient Escherichia coli background to assess biochemical aspects of

24. ABCG1 (ABC8), the human homolog of the Drosophila white gene, is a regulator of macrophage cholesterol and phospholipid transport
Excessive uptake of atherogenic lipoproteins such as modified low-density lipoprotein complexes by vascular macrophages leads to foam cell formation, a critical step in atherogenesis. Cholesterol efflux mediated by high-density lipoproteins (HDL) constitutes a protective mechanism against macrophage lipid overloading. The molecular mechanisms underlying this
