Ribosomes synthesizing inner membrane proteins in Escherichia coli are targeted to the translocon in the plasma membrane by the signal recognition particle (SRP) and the SRP receptor, FtsY.

During E. coli cell division, the researchers observed increased mechanical stiffening of the cell division site. The researchers hypothesize this stiffening could be due to localized membrane ...

you probably want to take measures to avoid E. coli when possible. Dr. Jason Singh recommends thorough handwashing with soap ...

Called imidazolium oligomers, this material can kill 99.7% of the E. coli bacteria within 30 seconds aided by its chain-like structure, which helps to penetrate the cell membrane and destroy the ...

signal. Together, these PIP3 and Ca(II) signals (and perhaps others) recruit PH- and C2-domain proteins, respectively, to the leading edge membrane. Current work is targeting the molecular mechanisms ...

New England Biolabs (NEB) has introduced Lemo21(DE3) Competent E. coli, a tunable T7 expression strain optimized for the expression of difficult constructs, including membrane proteins ...

In another experiment, they demonstrated that the cell mimics can swallow E.coli bacteria and trap them inside the membrane, potentially offering a new method for fighting bacteria in the body.
