Transport of tricarboxylic acids in Salmonella typhimurium
Abstract:
Salmonella typhimurium possesses at least three inducible transport systems for the tricarboxylic acids (citric, isocitric, cis-aconitic, and tricarballylic). The first system was induced by citrate, isocitrate, or cis-aconitate, and transported citric acid and isocitric acid. The second system was also induced by the same acids as in the first system and transported cis-aconitic acid. This system required Mg(2+) ions and was stable at pH 8.4 but unstable at pH 7.0. The metal ion was replaced with Sr(2+) or Ca(2+) ions but not with Ba(2+) ions. The third system was induced by tricarballylate and transported citric acid, cis-aconitic acid, and tricarballylic acid.

ABC Transporters: Importer
In bacteria, based on the number of transmembrane helices and the chemical nature of their substrates, the ABC importers can be divided into three types:
Cotranslational Protein Translocation
Sec61 channel partners for cotranslational translocation
During cotranslational translocation, the Sec61 channel partners with the signal recognition particle (SRP), the signal recognition particle receptor (SR), and the ribosomes to transport the nascent polypeptide chain...
