The team started their study by fusing the rhodopsin to green fluorescent protein, so that they could track its movement inside the yeast, where they observed that it localized to the vacuoles without ...

How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled ...

The yeast cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) pathway is one example of specific autophagy (see figure part b), and the only example of a biosynthetic autophagy-related pathway. The overall ...

If a daughter yeast cell doesn’t inherit a vacuole, for instance, it will grow the organelle from scratch. Lois Weisman’s team at the University of Michigan hadn’t probed too deeply into this backup ...

The electron tomogram of a complete yeast cell reveals the cellular architecture. It shows plasma membrane, microtubules and light vacuoles (green), nucleus, dark vacuoles and dark vesicles (gold ...
