Auxin Transport and Recycling of PIN Proteins in Plants
Polar transport of the phytohormone auxin is mediated by plasma-membrane and endosome localized carrier proteins. PIN proteins are the best... -
Rab GTPases in Plant Endocytosis
The Rab family is part of the Ras superfamily of small GTPases. In eukaryotes Rab GTPases are present as members of gene families, and the... -
MDR/PGP Auxin Transport Proteins and Endocytic Cycling
Auxin is an essential regulator of plant growth and development. Polarized transport of auxin is responsible for apical dominance, tropic growth,... -
Methods and Molecular Tools for Studying Endocytosis in Plants---an Overview
Proteins of the endocytosis machinery in plants, such as clathrin and adaptor proteins, were isolated and characterized using combinations of... -
Tip Growth and Endocytosis in Fungi
Recent advances in molecular cell biology have provided new insights into different cellular processes that all turn out to contribute to... -
Sterol Endocytosis and Trafficking in Plant Cells
Structural sterols are integral components of biological membranes. They regulate membrane permeability and fluidity, and they influence the... -
SNAREs in Plant Endocytosis and the Post-Golgi Traffic
In eukaryotic cells, the transport vesicles carry various cargo proteins from a donor compartment to a target compartment, and discharge the cargo... -
Plant Vacuoles: from Biogenesis to Function
The plant vacuolar system is far more complex than originally expected and multiple sorting pathways leading to various types of vacuoles can be... -
Endocytosis in Guard Cells
Stomatal movement requires large and repetitive changes to cell volume and consequently surface area. These alterations in surface area are... -
Endocytosis and Actomyosin Cytoskeleton
Mutual interactions between actin and endocytic assembly machineries are essential for successful clathrin-mediated endocytosis in yeast and... -
Endocytosis and Membrane Recycling in Pollen Tubes
In plants, tip-growing cells are an ideal system to investigate signal transduction mechanisms and, among these, pollen tubes are one of the... -
Plant Prevacuolar Compartments and Endocytosis
Prevacuolar compartments (PVCs) are membrane-bound organelles mediating protein traffic from both Golgi and plasma membrane to vacuoles in... -
Dynamin-Related Proteins in Plant Endocytosis
Over the past decade, it has become evident that multiple endocytic pathways operate in eukaryotic cells, and several of these are dependent on... -
Molecular Dissection of the Clathrin-Endocytosis Machinery in Plants
In the last few years, the endocytic vesicular uptake in plant cells has gained increasing significance in several physiological processes.... -
Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis in Plants
Binding of ligands activates cell-surface receptors and triggers a series of signalling events. The activation of the receptors accelerates their... -
Endocytosis and Endosymbiosis
Symbioses are widespread in nature and occur between organisms that belong to a large variety of taxonomic divisions (Hentschel et al. 2000). Most... -
Endocytic Uptake of Nutrients, Cell Wall Molecules and Fluidized Cell Wall Portions into Heterotrophic Plant Cells
After arrival at the surface of heterotrophic cells, nutrients are taken up by these cells via endocytosis to sustain metabolic processes. Recent... -
Soil effects on the plant growth inhibitory activity of S-abscisic acid
The use of natural plant growth regulators (PGRs) as ecofriendly agrochemicals is gaining much attention, but the fate of these compounds once they...
