Secretory processes play an important role on the biology and life cycles of parasitic protozoa. This review focus on basic aspects, from a cell biology perspective, of the secretion of (a) micronemes ...

Figure 4. Ciliary transport functions of the exocyst complex. (1) Post-golgi vesicles in the secretory pathway are tethered at the plasma membrane by the exocyst that mediates exocytosis. (2) Vesicles ...

Subsequently, the proteins are sorted according to their destinations: the plasma membrane (e.g., ion channels, adhesion molecules, and various receptors), regulated secretory granules or vesicles ...

Genetic studies in yeast suggest that atox1 plays a role in copper delivery to the secretory pathway. Because Atox1 interacts with the Wilson ATPase in a copper-dependent fashion, impairment of ...

RUSH_Vesicle_Analysis_V1.7: A FIJI / ImageJ macro to measure number of cytoplasmic vesicles in Z-stack microscopy images. Live-Cell_Vesicle_Analysis_V2: A FIJI / ImageJ macro to measure number of ...

Altered secretion of insulin from pancreatic β-cells can manifest into disorders. For example, a lack of endogenously produced and/or secreted insulin results in Type 1 diabetes (and other associated ...

All bacteria shed outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) loaded with a diverse array of small molecules, proteins, and genetic cargo. In this study we sought to hijack the bacterial cell export pathway to ...
