Organelle pH studies using targeted avidin and fluorescein-biotin.
BACKGROUND Mammalian organelles of the secretory pathway are of differing pH. The pH values form a decreasing gradient: the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is nearly neutral, the Golgi is mildly acidic… Expand

Evidence for Natural Horizontal Transfer of the pcpB Gene in the Evolution of Polychlorophenol-Degrading Sphingomonads
ABSTRACT The chlorophenol degradation pathway in Sphingobium chlorophenolicum is initiated by the pcpB gene product, pentachlorophenol-4-monooxygenase. The distribution of the gene was studied in a… Expand

Chicken avidin-related proteins show altered biotin-binding and physico-chemical properties as compared with avidin.
Chicken avidin and bacterial streptavidin are proteins familiar from their use in various (strept)avidin-biotin technological applications. Avidin binds the vitamin biotin with the highest affinity… Expand

Mutation of a critical tryptophan to lysine in avidin or streptavidin may explain why sea urchin fibropellin adopts an avidin‐like domain
Sea urchin fibropellins are epidermal growth factor homologues that harbor a C‐terminal domain, similar in sequence to hen egg‐white avidin and bacterial streptavidin. The fibropellin sequence was… Expand
