Exploring the world of phospholipids and their interactions with proteins: the work of William Dowhan

Rajendrani Mukhopadhyay. J Biol Chem. .

Abstract

The Gene Encoding the Phosphatidylinositol Transfer Protein Is Essential for Cell Growth (Aitken, J. F., van Heusden, G. P., Temkin, M., and Dowhan, W. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 4711–4717)

A Phospholipid Acts as a Chaperone in Assembly of a Membrane Transport Protein (Bogdanov, M., Sun, J., Kaback, H. R., and Dowhan, W. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 11615–11618)
