Calcium Signals from the Vacuole

open access: yesPlants, 2013
The vacuole is by far the largest intracellular Ca2+ store in most plant cells. Here, the current knowledge about the molecular mechanisms of vacuolar Ca2+ release and Ca2+ uptake is summarized, and how different vacuolar Ca2+ channels and Ca2+ pumps may

The water to solute permeability ratio governs the osmotic volume dynamics in beetroot vacuoles

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Plant cell vacuoles occupy up to 90% of the cell volume and, beyond their physiological function, are constantly subjected to water and solute exchange.

SUT sucrose and MST monosaccharide transporter inventory of the Selaginella genome

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2012
While most metazoa mainly use hexose transporters to acquire hexoses from their diet and as a transport form for distributing carbon and energy within their bodies, insects use trehalose and plants use sucrose as their major form for translocation. Plant

pH-Dependant Antifungal Activity of Valproic Acid against the Human Fungal Pathogen Candida albicans

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Current antifungal drugs suffer from limitations including toxicity, the emergence of resistance and decreased efficacy at low pH that are typical of human vaginal surfaces.

A microscopy-based kinetic analysis of yeast vacuolar protein sorting

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is amenable to studying membrane traffic by live-cell fluorescence microscopy. We used this system to explore two aspects of cargo protein traffic through prevacuolar endosome (PVE) compartments to the vacuole.

The journey of cardosin A in young Arabidopsis seedlings leads to evidence of a Golgi-independent pathway to the protein storage vacuole

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
The aspartic proteinase cardosin A is a vacuolar enzyme found to accumulate in protein storage and lytic vacuoles in the flowers and protein bodies in the seeds of the native plant cardoon.

Quantitation of vacuolar sugar transporter abundance changes using QconCAT synthtetic peptides

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Measurements of protein abundance changes are important for biological conclusions on protein-related processes such as activity or complex formation. Proteomic analyses in general are almost routine tasks in many laboratories.

Touch and Go: Membrane Contact Sites Between Lipid Droplets and Other Organelles

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Lipid droplets (LDs) have emerged not just as storage sites for lipids but as central regulators of metabolism and organelle quality control. These critical functions are achieved, in part, at membrane contact sites (MCS) between LDs and other organelles.

Substrate ubiquitination retains misfolded membrane proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum for degradation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2021
Summary: To maintain secretory pathway fidelity, misfolded proteins are commonly retained in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and selected for ER-associated degradation (ERAD).

Legionella RavZ Plays a Role in Preventing Ubiquitin Recruitment to Bacteria-Containing Vacuoles

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Bacterial pathogens like Salmonella and Legionella establish intracellular niches in host cells known as bacteria-containing vacuoles. In these vacuoles, bacteria can survive and replicate.
