The findings were published in Nature Plants. The research team showed that ATG8, which is normally located in small cellular ...

IN connection with previous correspondence on the mode of production of the contractile vacuole in Protozoa (NATURE, vol. cvi., pp. 343, 376, 441), I find that it is, in point of fact, Prof.

A lesser-known organelle is the humble vacuole, long conceptualized as the cellular wastebasket. Traditionally, vacuoles are known for cleaning up the cell by chopping up and disposing of old or ...

The cell membranes of plants were already known to be excitable; the scientists have now proved that this also applies to the membrane which encloses the central vacuole of the plant cells - and ...

Bite into a sour apple and you destroy them -- plant cell vacuoles. Even though these vacuoles make up the largest volume of plant cells, only little was known about how these cellular storehouses ...

Scientists say they have discovered that the human immune system marks pathogen-containing vacuoles for destruction by using a molecule called ubiquitin, commonly known as the “kiss of death.” ...

Seed plants, such as soybeans, store large amounts of protein in specialized organelles called protein storage vacuoles. These proteins not only sustain seedling growth but also serve as a major ...

Vacuole membrane protein 1 (Vmp1) is described as a cancer-relevant cell cycle modulator, but the function of this protein and its mode of action in tumor progression are still unknown.

For example, when a bacterial cell divides, the vacuole surrounding it also divides, enabling every new bacterial cell to be ensconced in a vacuole. This also ensures that more vacuoles are ...

Exciting plant vacuoles Date: June 14, 2019 Source: University of Würzburg Summary: Researchers have filled two knowledge gaps: The vacuoles of plant cells can be excited and the TPC1 ion channel ...
