This book was released on 1991-11-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transport of macromolecules in membrane bounded vesicles is a fundamental process of all eukaryotic cells. The paths taken by this vesicular traffic have been intensively researched in animal cells but are less well characterised in plant cells. Nevertheless, with the development of and combination of techniques in biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology, progress in the study of plant vesicle traffic has been achieved in recent years. This book attempts to highlight the recent advances made and to explore avenues for future research. The book opens with a general overview of vesicular traffic both in animal and plant cells. This is followed by a more detailed consideration of higher plant coated vesicles, endocytosis, exocytosis and mechanisms of vesicle traffic and transport in cells. The biochemistry, cell biology and molecular biology of each is considered and particular attention is given to those specialised cell systems in which vesicle traffic is of particular importance. This book brings together expertise from a wide range of research disciplines involved in the study of vesicle traffic in plants, and, as such, provides a unique synthesis from which the research can move forward. It will be of general interest to those involved in the study of vesicle traffic in both plant and animal cells.
Download or read book Endocytosis in Plants written by Jozef Šamaj and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endocytosis is a fundamental cellular process by means of which cells internalize extracellular and plasma membrane cargos for recycling or degradation. It is important for the establishment and maintenance of cell polarity, subcellular signaling and uptake of nutrients into specialized cells, but also for plant cell interactions with pathogenic and symbiotic microbes. Endocytosis starts by vesicle formation at the plasma membrane and progresses through early and late endosomal compartments. In these endosomes cargo is sorted and it is either recycled back to the plasma membrane, or degraded in the lytic vacuole. This book presents an overview of our current knowledge of endocytosis in plants with a main focus on the key molecules undergoing and regulating endocytosis. It also provides up to date methodological approaches as well as principles of protein, structural lipid, sugar and microbe internalization in plant cells. The individual chapters describe clathrin-mediated and fluid-phase endocytosis, as well as flotillin-mediated endocytosis and internalization of microbes. The book was written for a broad spectrum of readers including students, teachers and researchers.

Download or read book Vesicular Transport in the Secretory and Endocytic Pathways written by Anne Musch and published by Morgan & Claypool. This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of vesicular traffic as a means of protein transport in and out of cells and between membrane compartments has been established since the 1960s. Its basic principles are beautifully simple, yet the details of protein transport are complex enough to find novel classes of transport vesicles, and trafficking itineraries still being described to date. In this treatise, the reader will be introduced to mechanisms of vesicle sculpting, cargo selection, vesicle targeting, and vesicle consumption that have emerged as common characteristics of multiple transport steps in the exocytic and endocytic pathways. These fundamentals also reveal the basis for the specificity and selectivity of individual transport steps. We will further discuss how protein transport might lead to the establishment and maintenance of the endomembrane system of eukaryotic cells. The concepts for these mechanisms are based on experimental evidence combined with mathematical modeling that can disclose the minimal requirements for the generation of the distinct membrane compartments.

Download or read book The Chloroplast written by Anna Stina Sandelius and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-12-11 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chloroplasts are vital for life as we know it. At the leaf cell level, it is common knowledge that a chloroplast interacts with its surroundings – but this knowledge is often limited to the benefits of oxygenic photosynthesis and that chloroplasts provide reduced carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. This book presents the intricate interplay between chloroplasts and their immediate and more distant environments. The topic is explored in chapters covering aspects of evolution, the chloroplast/cytoplasm barrier, transport, division, motility and bidirectional signalling. Taken together, the contributed chapters provide an exciting insight into the complexity of how chloroplast functions are related to cellular and plant-level functions. The recent rapid advances in the presented research areas, largely made possible by the development of molecular techniques and genetic screens of an increasing number of plant model systems, make this interaction a topical issue.
Download or read book Mechanisms of Endosomal Trafficking and Intralumenal Vesicle Formation in Plants written by Kaija Jo Goodman and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Endocytosis and endosomal trafficking control the abundance and distribution of key membrane proteins at the cell surface and in other cellular compartments. The Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT) mediates the formation of vesicles to sequester ubiquitinated membrane proteins (cargo) into late endosomes en route to the vacuole for degradation. We previously found that the late-acting ESCRT components, ISTL1 and LIP5 are important for plant development, proper defense responses, and multivesicular endosome formation in root cells. Using genetic, confocal, and electron microscopy approaches, I found a unique role for ISTL1 and LIP5 in endosomal trafficking in tapetal cells, which surround and nourish developing pollen grains within anthers. Together, ISTL1 and LIP5 are required in the tapetum to maintain plasma membrane localization of ABCG9, a transporter important for pollen wall development. Plants lacking ISTL1 and LIP5 showed defects in exocytosis of the sec-RFP secretion marker in anthers. Pollen in the istl1 lip5 mutant developed abnormal pollen wall patterns, leading to partial pollen lethality. Finally, istl1 lip5 tapetal cells exhibited ultrastructural defects in both multivesicular endosome morphology and trans-Golgi Networks, indicating that besides endosomal sorting, late-acting ESCRTs have a role in the early endosomal pathway and/or exocytosis. The ESCRT machinery mediates negative membrane deformation (i.e. membrane bending away from the cytoplasm). Exactly how the ESCRT proteins orchestrate membrane deformation and fission is not well known. The current models for how intralumenal vesicles form assume that vesicles are formed one at a time. However, in plants intralumenal vesicles form as concatenated networks, establishing a novel mechanism to entrap cargo more efficiently. In Chapter 3, I use electron tomography to analyze vesicle network architecture from plant endosomes. I developed quantitative tools to evaluate the complexity of individual vesicle networks and applied them to compare intralumenal vesicle networks from different cell types. In addition, I developed rules and tools to recapitulate how these intralumenal vesicle networks form and infer the activity of budding sites on the endosomal surface.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant signalling has emerged as an integrated field which has become indispensable in recent times to study any biological process. Over the last decade, an enormous amount of information has been generated in this field and the advances in information technology gave birth to bioinformatics which has helped greatly in managing the galaxy of information. It is now possible to view the different information’s in a systems biology approach which has unravelled the association/ new processes and thus helped us enormously in understanding of the biological processes. The present book is an attempt at understanding the plant signalling processes with different perspectives. Even though the plants are sessile but there exists a tremendous interconnected network of perception at morphological, physiological and molecular levels. The impact of the surrounding environment in terms of abiotic and biotic stresses is significant in terms of its survival, adaptation and productivity for the human welfare. The plants possess a wide array of processes at the organ, tissue and cellular levels which are governed by a plethora of molecules. The molecules govern individual processes and these exists a cross talk between them to form a complex network of processes. The book tries to envision how different processes are operating at different points in the life cycle of the plant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Yet another cell and molecular biology book? At the very least, you would think that if I was going to write a textbook, I should write one in an area that really needs one instead of a subject that already has multiple excellent and definitive books. So, why write this book, then? First, it's a course that I have enjoyed teaching for many years, so I am very familiar with what a student really needs to take away from this class within the time constraints of a semester. Second, because it is a course that many students take, there is a greater opportunity to make an impact on more students' pocketbooks than if I were to start off writing a book for a highly specialized upper- level course. And finally, it was fun to research and write, and can be revised easily for inclusion as part of our next textbook, High School Biology."--Open Textbook Library.

Download or read book Protein Trafficking in Plant Cells written by J. Soll and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-08-31 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The highly structured eucaryotic cell with its complex division of biochemical labour requires a distinct protein complement in each cellular structure and compartment. Nuclear coded and cytosolically synthesized polypeptides are specifically sorted to every corner of the cell in a post- or co-translational manner. The presence of separate genomes and protein translation machineries in plastids and mitochondria requires further coordination not only on the transcriptional, translational but also most likely on the protein import level. Numerous different protein transport systems have developed and coexist within plant cells to ensure the specific and selective composition of every sub-cellular compartment. This volume summarizes the current knowledge on protein trafficking in plant cells. Aside from the fundamental aspects in cell biology of how specific pre-protein sorting and translocation across biological membranes is achieved, a major focus is on transport, modification and deposition of plant storage proteins. The increasing use of plants as bioreactors to provide custom-designed proteins of different usage requires detailed understanding of these events. This text is directed not only at students and professionals in plant cell and molecular biology but also at those involved in horticulture and plant breeding. It is intended to serve as a text and guide for graduate-level courses on plant cell biology and as a valuable supplement to courses in plant physiology and development. Scientists in other disciplines who wish to learn more about protein translocation in plants will also find this text an up-to-date source of information and reference.
