Plant vacuoles are multifunctional organelles. On the one hand, most vegetative tissues develop lytic vacuoles that have a role in degradation. On the other hand, seed cells have two types of storage vacuoles: protein storage vacuoles (PSVs) in endosperm and embryonic cells and metabolite storage vacuoles in seed coats.

Coxiella burnetii Sterol-Modifying Protein Stmp1 Regulates Cholesterol in the Intracellular Niche
Coxiella burnetii replicates in a phagolysosome-like vacuole called the Coxiella-containing vacuole (CCV). While host cholesterol readily traffics to the CCV, cholesterol accumulation leads to CCV acidification and bacterial death.

Idiosyncratic Biogenesis of Intracellular Pathogens-Containing Vacuoles
While most bacterial species taken up by macrophages are degraded through processing of the bacteria-containing vacuole through the endosomal-lysosomal degradation pathway, intravacuolar pathogens have evolved to evade degradation through the endosomal ...
