Vacuole-targeting fungicidal activity of amphotericin B
Invasive fungal infections are recognized as major threats to patients with immune depression as well as those with cancer chemotherapy. Amphotericin B (AmB), a classical antifungal agent with a polyene macrolide structure, is widely used for the control

Identification of vacuole defects in fungi
Fungal vacuoles are involved in a diverse range of cellular functions, participating in cellular homeostasis, degradation of intracellular components, and storage of ions and molecules. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of studies linking these organelles with the regulation of growth and control of cellular morphology,

Studies on the mechanisms of autophagy: formation of the autophagic vacuole
Autophagic vacuoles form within 15 min of perfusing a liver with amino acid-depleted medium. These vacuoles are bound by a "smooth" double membrane and do not contain acid phosphatase activity.

The size and copy number of an organelle depend on an equilibrium of membrane fusion and fission. In vitro reconstitution of yeast vacuole fission and fusion shows that TORC1 selectively stimulates fission but does not change fusion activity.

Vacuoles: a hollow threat? [PDF]
In this issue of the Journal, Bawolak et al.1 focus their studies on a mechanism that provides a provocative insight into the complexity of systems that organize the intracellular environment. This mechanism may also serve to describe the effects produced by agents that are applied in high concentrations to the outer membrane of the cell… in this case,

The fungal vacuole: composition, function, and biogenesis.
The fungal vacuole is an extremely complex organelle that is involved in a wide variety of functions. The vacuole not only carries out degradative processes, the role most often ascribed to it, but also is the primary storage site for certain small ...
