The cellular membrane constitutes one of the most fundamental compartments of a living
cell, where key processes such as selective transport of material and exchange of …

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzymes from Gram-positive
bacteria are secreted virulence factors that aid in downregulating host immunity. These PI …

Amphitropic proteins, such as the virulence factor phosphatidylinositol-specific
phospholipase C (PI-PLC) from Bacillus thuringiensis, often depend on lipid-specific …

Bacillus thuringiensis phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (BtPI-PLC) is a
secreted virulence factor that binds specifically to phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayers …

Peripheral membrane proteins can be targeted to specific organelles or the plasma
membrane by differential recognition of phospholipid headgroups. Although molecular …

Cation-π interactions, where protein aromatic residues supply π systems while a positive-
charged portion of phospholipid head groups are the cations, have been suggested as …

Peripheral membrane proteins (PMPs) bind temporarily to cellular membranes and play
important roles in signaling, lipid metabolism, and membrane trafficking. Obtaining accurate …

Bacillus thuringiensis is widely used as a biopesticide in forestry and agriculture, being able
to produce potent species-specific insecticidal toxins and considered nonpathogenic to …

Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzymes are a virulence factor in
many Gram-positive organisms. The specific activity of the Bacillus thuringiensis PI-PLC is …

The broad-range phospholipase C (PLC) from Listeria monocytogenes has been expressed
using an intein expression system and characterized. This zinc metalloenzyme, similar to the …
