Mammalian circadian clock proteins form dynamic interacting microbodies distinct from phase separation. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023
Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) underlies diverse biological processes. Because most LLPS studies were performed in vitro using recombinant proteins or in cells that overexpress protein, the physiological relevance of LLPS for endogenous protein is

Ultrastructural expansion microscopy reveals unexpected levels of glycosome heterogeneity in African trypanosomes. [PDF]

J Microsc
Abstract Kinetoplastid parasites include several species. Trypanosoma brucei causes African sleeping sickness in humans and a wasting disease nagana in livestock. Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease and Leishmania species cause leishmaniasis, which can present with visceral, cutaneous, or mucocutaneous symptoms.

Peroxisomes in intestinal and gallbladder epithelial cells of the stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus L. (Teleostei) [PDF]

, 1988
The occurrence of microbodies in the epithelial cells of the intestine and gallbladder of the stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus L., is described. In the intestine the organelles are predominantly located in the apical and perinuclear zone of the cells ...

Characterization of Amoeboaphelidium protococcarum, an algal parasite new to the cryptomycota isolated from an outdoor algal pond used for the production of biofuel. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Mass culture of algae for the production of biofuels is a developing technology designed to offset the depletion of fossil fuel reserves. However, large scale culture of algae in open ponds can be challenging because of incidences of infestation with ...

MICROBODIES IN EXPERIMENTALLY ALTERED CELLS [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1967
A rapid and sustained increase in the number of microbodies in liver and kidney cells can be induced in male rats by ethyl chlorophenoxyisobutyrate (CPIB), a hypolipidemic drug. This phenomenon permits investigation of several aspects of microbody behavior in experimental conditions.

Cloning and mutational analysis of human malonyl-coenzyme A decarboxylase

Journal of Lipid Research, 1999
Malonyl coenzyme A (CoA) decarboxylase (E.C.4. 1.1.9) catalyzes the conversion of malonyl CoA to acetyl CoA. The metabolic role of malonyl CoA decarboxylase has not been fully defined, but deficiency of the enzyme has been associated with mild mental ...

Channel-forming activities in the glycosomal fraction from the bloodstream form of Trypanosoma brucei. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BACKGROUND: Glycosomes are a specialized form of peroxisomes (microbodies) present in unicellular eukaryotes that belong to the Kinetoplastea order, such as Trypanosoma and Leishmania species, parasitic protists causing severe diseases of livestock and ...

Fractionation of the proteins of plant microbodies [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1974
1. Glyoxysomes and peroxisomes have been isolated from dark- and light-grown seedlings of pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo) by sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation. 2. Pumpkin microbodies and castor-bean (Ricinus communis) glyoxysomes may be fractionated, by a combination of osmotic shock and treatment with KCl, into three distinct groups of proteins ...

Chapter 9:Fossil microbodies are melanosomes: Evaluating and rejecting the "fossilized decay-associated microbes" hypothesis

, 2020
Melanosomes are membrane-bound organelles of varying geometry, commonly found within a range of vertebrate tissues, that contain the pigment melanin. Melanosomes have been identified in the fossil record in many exceptionally preserved fossils allowing ...

A quantitative analysis of fine structure and drug metabolism in livers of clofibrate-treated young adult and retired breeder rats

Journal of Lipid Research, 1978
The effects of clofibrate on the fine structure and drug-metabolizing capacity of livers of normolipidemic young adult virgin (YA) and hypercholesterolemic retired breeder (RB) male rats were measured by morphometric and biochemical procedures.
