Transport of Molecules across Microbial Membranes (Society for General Microbiology Symposia, Series Number 58) - Hardcover
This volume details the transport of molecules, large and small, across the membranes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial cells. An international group of contributors unify a diverse range of phenomena with the discussion of the signal peptides that target proteins to particular destinations, and the role of chaperonins. Topics covered include secretion of proteins out of the bacterial cell by Type I, II, and III mechanisms, including the newly recognized bacterial signal recognition pathway in Type II; passage across internal membranes of eukaryotic proteins, whether destined for secretion or en route to internal organelles such as chloroplasts and peroxisomes; how bacteria obtain energy required for solute uptake; the role of phosphorylation and evolutionary relationships of the proteins involved; and efflux pumps for toxic substances in bacterial, animal, and plant cells.

Book Description:
Microbes may need to move the substances that they make, or that they encounter in their environment, from one place to another. For example, they may have to export proteins associated with pathogenicity, they may need to move proteins internally, they may have to take up nutrients from the environment, or get rid of toxic materials. This book describes, at the molecular level, some of the most important ways in which they do this. It is unusual in the breadth of topics and range of organisms covered.
Review:
"...well written and provides a review on the latest research in the area, with extensive references abailable to the reader. The tables and figures presented in Transport of Molecules Across Microbial Membranes could be valuable learning tools for students and instructors." Canadian Society of Microbiologists

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This volume considers the transport of molecules, large and small, across the membranes of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial cells. A diverse range of related phenomena are covered, but the unifying themes are the signal peptides that target proteins to particular destinations, and the role of chaperonins. Topics covered include: secretion of proteins out of the bacterial cell by Type I, II and III mechanisms, including the newly recognised bacterial signal recognition pathway in Type II; passage across internal membranes of eukaryotic proteins, whether destined for secretion or en route to internal organelles such as chloroplasts and peroxisomes; how bacteria obtain the energy required for solute uptake, the role of phosphorylation, and evolutionary relationships of some of the proteins involved; and efflux pumps for toxic substances in bacterial, animal and plant cells.
