Characterization of the Inositol Monophosphatase Gene Family in Arabidopsis
Synthesis of myo-inositol is crucial in multicellular eukaryotes for production of phosphatidylinositol and inositol phosphate signaling molecules. The myo-inositol monophosphatase (IMP) enzyme is required for the synthesis of myo-inositol, breakdown of

Citrus Flavonoids as Antimicrobials
Citrus flavonoids are powerful and versatile antimicrobials whose mechanism of action often involves disruption of the bacterial membrane, thereby minimizing antimicrobial resistance. This study provides a unified perspective. ABSTRACT Citrus flavonoids are highly bioactive compounds exerting numerous health benefits including anticancer, antioxidant ...

Real-time imaging of Leishmania mexicana-infected early phagosomes: a study using primary macrophages generated from green fluorescent protein-Rab5 transgenic mice [PDF]
The small GTPase Rab5 is a key regulator of endosome/phagosome maturation and in intravesicular infections marks a phagosome stage at which decisions over pathogen replication or destruction are integrated.

Upon cell stimulation, mammalian cells activate various signaling proteins and lipids by recruiting their upstream regulators to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane (PM), which in turn determines their cellular response. Therefore, artificially inducing protein translocation to the PM is an effective strategy for dissecting cell signaling networks

A phosphoinositide map at the shoot apical meristem in Arabidopsis thaliana
Background In plants, the shoot apical meristem (SAM) has two main functions, involving the production of all aerial organs on the one hand and self-maintenance on the other, allowing the production of organs during the entire post-embryonic life of the ...

Arabidopsis inositol phosphate kinases, IPK1 and ITPK1, constitute a metabolic pathway in maintaining phosphate homeostasis [PDF]
Emerging studies have implicated a close link between inositol phosphate (InsP) metabolism and cellular phosphate (Pi) homeostasis in eukaryotes; however, whether a common InsP species is deployed as an evolutionarily conserved metabolic messenger to ...

Disruption of Retriever Function Impacts Retrograde Trafficking From Endosomes
ABSTRACT Within endosomes cargo proteins are sorted and packaged into endosomal‐transport carriers (ETCs) enabling their delivery to other intracellular compartments. Retromer, a conserved multimeric protein complex, has defined functions in sorting cargo mediating formation of ETCs for both retrograde trafficking back to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN ...
