Membrane Vesicle Production as a Bacterial Defense Against Stress
Membrane vesicles are the nano-sized vesicles originating from membranes. The production of membrane vesicles is a common feature among bacteria. Depending on the bacterial growth phase and environmental conditions, membrane vesicles show diverse ...

Outer-inner membrane vesicles naturally secreted by gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. [PDF]
Outer-inner membrane vesicles (O-IMVs) were recently described as a new type of membrane vesicle secreted by the Antarctic bacterium Shewanella vesiculosa M7T.

The Role of Vesicles in Transporting of Cholera Toxin
The review reports on the secretion pathways of the main virulence factor of Vibrio cholerae, cholera toxin, both through the two-stage Sec-dependent type 2 secretion system and with the help of vesicles of the outer membrane of V. cholerae.

Roles of the TRAPP-II Complex and the Exocyst in Membrane Deposition during Fission Yeast Cytokinesis. [PDF]
The cleavage-furrow tip adjacent to the actomyosin contractile ring is believed to be the predominant site for plasma-membrane insertion through exocyst-tethered vesicles during cytokinesis.

Osmotic Vesicle Collapse of Sealed Inside–Out Membrane Vesicles From Red Blood Cells
The preparation of plasma membrane vesicles from a large variety of cells has contributed a wealth of information on the identity and vectorial properties of membrane transporters and enzymes. Vesicles from red blood cell (RBC) membranes are generated in

Growth in systems of vesicles and membranes [PDF]
We present a theoretical study for the intermediate stages of the growth of membranes and vesicles in supersaturated solutions of amphiphilic molecules. The problem presents important differences with the growth of droplets in the classical theory of Lifshitz-Slyozov-Wagner, because the aggregates are extensive only in two dimensions, but still grow in

Biogenesis of bacterial membrane vesicles [PDF]
SummaryMembrane vesicle (MV) release remains undefined, despite its conservation among replicating Gram‐negative bacteria both in vitro and in vivo. Proteins identified in Salmonella MVs, derived from the envelope, control MV production via specific defined domains that promote outer membrane protein–peptidoglycan (OM–PG) and OM protein–inner membrane ...

A role for the membrane in regulating Chlamydomonas flagellar length. [PDF]
Flagellar assembly requires coordination between the assembly of axonemal proteins and the assembly of the flagellar membrane and membrane proteins. Fully grown steady-state Chlamydomonas flagella release flagellar vesicles from their tips and failure to
