Gram‐negative bacteria constitutively secrete outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) into the
extracellular milieu. Recent research in this area has revealed that OMVs may act as …

Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) lie at the critical junctions between intracellular
compartments and cells and their environment. As such, IMPs are in a unique position to …

Seed is a condensed form of plant. Under suitable environmental conditions, it can resume
the metabolic activity from physiological quiescent status, and mobilize the reserves …

Isolation and dissection of native multiprotein complexes is a central theme in functional
genomics. The development of the tandem affinity purification (TAP) tag has enabled an …

Mitochondria are not only important for the energetic status of the cell, but are also the fatal
organelles deciding about cellular life and death. Complex mitochondrial features decisive …

The function of biological cells is intimately associated with their internal organization, in
which multiple subcellular structures have specialized roles. Such subcellular structures …

The plant mitochondrial proteome might contain as many as 2000–3000 different gene
products, each of which might undergo post-translational modification. Recent studies using …

The analysis of proteins in biological membranes forms a major challenge in proteomics.
Despite continuous improvements and the development of more sensitive analytical …

Developments in subcellular fractionation strategies have provided the means to profile and
analyze the protein composition of organelles and cellular structures by proteomics. Here …

One third of all genes of various organisms encode membrane proteins, emphasizing their
crucial cellular role. However, due to their high hydrophobicity, membrane proteins …
