The early branching Giardia lamblia has highly polarized vacuoles, located underneath the plasma membrane, which have at least some of the characteristics of endosomes and of lysosomes. These peripheral vacuoles (PVs) are ...

The manner in which membrane-associated proteins interact with the membrane defines their subcellular fate and function. This interaction relies on the characteristics of the proteins, their journey after synthesis, and ...

Abstract Coxiella burnetii is a bacterial intracellular parasite of eucaryotic cells that replicates within a membrane-bound compartment, or “parasitophorous vacuole” (PV).  With the exception of human macrophages/monocytes, ...

A neurologic disease characterized by ataxia, hypermetria, hyperesthesia, and muscle tremors of the head and neck was observed for 2 years in a flock of 28 Anglo-Nubian and Saanen goats on a farm with 5 ha of pasture. Six ...

Cyclic Adenosine 3 0 ,5 0 -monophosphate (cAMP) is a key second messenger known to directly regulate not only the protein kinase A (PKA) activity but also other important molecules such as the exchange protein activated ...
