The Formation of The Plant Vacuolar System
1999
The plant vacuole is a multifunctional subcellular compartment. In general, the vacuolar system is constituted of a single or few vacuoles. About 80% of the volume of mature plant cells is occupied by vacuoles. These organelles are limited by a single membrane, the tonoplast. According to the cell type and to particular functions, the vacuolar content can vary from a homogeneous consistency to a heterogeneous matrix containing crystalloid structures (Boiler, Wiemken, 1986; Marty et al., 1980). From the biotechnological point of view, the endomembrane system of plants, particularly the ER and vacuoles, can be envisioned as the ultimate environment for stable protein accumulation. Several rep…
Stimulation with carbachol alters endomembrane distribution and plasma membrane expression of intracellular proteins in lacrimal acinar cells.
2000
The events that lead to Sjogren's autoimmune processes in the lacrimal gland remain poorly understood. The acinar cell's responses to acute cholinergic stimulation include release of secretory products across the apical plasma membrane (apm) and a number of processes related to traffic between endomembrane compartments and the basal-lateral plasma membranes (blm), such as recruitment of Na, K-ATPase, accelerated recycling, and accelerated transcytosis of secretory IgA. We tested the hypothesis that stimulation-induced acceleration of endomembrane traffic is accompanied by changes in compartmentation and increased blm expression of proteins that are normally sequestered in endomembrane compa…
