Promiscuity of the Euonymus Carbohydrate-Binding Domain
Plants synthesize small amounts of carbohydrate-binding proteins on exposure to stress. For example, on exposure to drought, high salt, wounding and by treatment with some plant hormones or by pathogen attack. In contrast to the ‘classical’ plant lectins

Protein Mobility in the Cytoplasm of Escherichia coli [PDF]
The rate of protein diffusion in bacterial cytoplasm may constrain a variety of cellular functions and limit the rates of many biochemical reactions in vivo. In this paper, we report noninvasive measurements of the apparent diffusion coefficient of green

The electrical resistivity of cytoplasm
The apparent cytoplasmic resistivity of two different giant cells has been measured using an extension of a previously developed single microelectrode technique. Each cell is penetrated by a metal microelectrode whose complex impedance is measured as a function of frequency between 500 kHz and 5.7 MHz.

On the fractal nature of cytoplasm [PDF]
On the basis of a quantification of the fractal dimension, D, in micrographs of cytoskeleton components or microtrabecular lattice, we propose that the cellular cytoplasm can be described as a percolation cluster, a sort of ‘random fractal’. Our hypothesis deals with: (i) the existence of the percolation threshold — a remarkable property of percolation

Glutaredoxin (Grx) 3 proteins contain a thioredoxin domain and one to three class II Grx domains. These proteins play a crucial role in iron homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. In human Grx3, at least one of the two Grx domains, together with the thioredoxin domain, is essential for its function in iron metabolism.

The axoneme and accessory structures of flagella are critical for sperm motility and male fertilization. Sperm production needs precise and highly ordered gene expression to initiate and sustain the many cellular processes that result in mature ...

The site of ribonucleic acid synthesis in the isolated nucleus [PDF]
There is still controversy concerning the primary site of RNA synthesis in the cell.(1) When tissues are radioautographed after administration of radioactive inorganic phosphorus or radioactive RNA(2) precursors such as tritiated uridine or cytidine, it ...

Shedding of host autophagic proteins from the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane of Plasmodium berghei [PDF]
The hepatic stage of the malaria parasite Plasmodium is accompanied by an autophagy-mediated host response directly targeting the parasitophorous vacuolar membrane (PVM) harbouring the parasite.

Cytoplasmic dynein nomenclature [PDF]
A variety of names has been used in the literature for the subunits of cytoplasmic dynein complexes. Thus, there is a strong need for a more definitive consensus statement on nomenclature. This is especially important for mammalian cytoplasmic dyneins, many subunits of which are encoded by multiple genes.

To explore the impact of the overexpression of the multidrug‐transporter P‐glycoprotein (ABCB1) on membrane fluidity, we compared the transversal gradient of mobility and microviscosity in plasma membranes of drug‐sensitive Chinese hamster ovary cells (AuxB1) and their multidrug‐resistant derivatives (B30) using the fluorescent n‐(9‐anthroyloxy) fatty ...
