The use of drugs in the study of vacuole morphology and trafficking to the vacuole in arabidopsis thaliana
(Humana Press, 2018)
Chemical compounds are useful to perturb biological functions in the same way as classical genetic approaches take advantage of mutations at the DNA level to perturb gene function. The use of bioactive chemicals currently ...
Deposition of Foreign Proteins in Plant Vacuoles: A Unique Characteristic of Plant-Based Platforms
(Nova Science Publishers, 2019)
The global demand for biological and industrial enzymes is growing driven by the increasing world population and the expansion of their biotechnological applications. To be active and soluble, many of these proteins require ...
The Water to Solute Permeability Ratio Governs the Osmotic Volume Dynamics in Beetroot Vacuoles
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-09)
Plant cell vacuoles occupy up to 90% of the cell volume and, beyond their physiological function, are constantly subjected to water and solute exchange. The osmotic flow and vacuole volume dynamics relies on the vacuole ...
The Coxiella burnetii parasitophorous vacuole
(Springer, 2012)
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, ...
Parameters affecting cellular invasion and escape from the parasitophorous vacuole by different infective forms of Trypanosoma cruzi
(Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Ministério da Saúde, 2003-10-01)
In this study we have examined certain aspects of the process of cell invasion and parasitophorous vacuole escape by metacyclic trypomastigotes and extracellular amastigote forms of Trypanosoma cruzi (G strain). Using Vero ...
The metalloprotease Mpl supports Listeria monocytogenes dissemination through resolution of membrane protrusions into vacuoles
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-06)
Listeria monocytogenes is an intracellular pathogen that disseminates within the intestinal epithelium through acquisition of actin-based motility and formation of plasma membrane protrusions that project into adjacent ...
Senescence-Associated Vacuoles, a Specific Lytic Compartment for Degradation of Chloroplast Proteins?
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2014-11)
Degradation of chloroplasts and chloroplast components is a distinctive feature of leaf senescence. In spite of its importance in the nutrient economy of plants, knowledge about the mechanism(s) involved in the breakdown ...
What's the signification of nuclear vacuoles in human sperm?
(2008-07-01)
The aim of this study was to determine the extent of DNA fragmentation and the presence of single/denatured or double stranded of DNA in sperm with large nuclear vacuoles (LNV) selected by high-magnification. A total of ...
