Alignment of synaptic vesicle macromolecules with the macromolecules in active zone material that direct vesicle docking. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Synaptic vesicles dock at active zones on the presynaptic plasma membrane of a neuron's axon terminals as a precondition for fusing with the membrane and releasing their neurotransmitter to mediate synaptic impulse transmission.

The Role of Vesicles in Transporting of Cholera Toxin
Проблемы особо опасных инфекций, 2023 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.

Biogenesis of bacterial membrane vesicles [PDF]
Molecular Microbiology, 2009 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 ...

Growth in systems of vesicles and membranes [PDF]
Physical Review E, 1996 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

Fusion of secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver [PDF]
, 1978 Secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver were found to fuse after exposure to Ca2+. Vescle fusion is characterized by the occurrence of twinned vesicles with a continuous cleavage plane between two vesicles in freeze-fracture electron microscopy.

Roles of the TRAPP-II Complex and the Exocyst in Membrane Deposition during Fission Yeast Cytokinesis. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2016 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
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 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

Helicobacter pylori Membrane Vesicles Stimulate Innate Pro- and Anti-Inflammatory Responses and Induce Apoptosis in Jurkat T Cells [PDF]
, 2014 Persistent Helicobacter pylori infection induces chronic inflammation in the human gastric mucosa, which is associated with development of peptic ulceration, gastric atrophy, and gastric adenocarcinoma.
