During clathrin-mediated endocytosis, adaptor proteins bind to the cell membrane and to the protein clathrin, assisting in engulfing the cargo in a clathrin-coated vesicle. "The cargo is essentially ...

Cells deficient in clathrin heavy or light chains exhibit some instability in growth and protein-transport phenotypes, adapting to the absence of clathrin by as-yet-undefined mechanisms 10.

The possible new supply chain for anti-cancer drug. Apart from being the first study to demonstrate an entirely new supply chain for these essential drugs against cancer, the study showcases the ...

In yeast, the heads-or-tails phenomenon that Cullen describes involves the direction in which a colony spawns new cells. Under normal circumstances, existing yeast cells — called mother cells — give ...

The TOR signaling pathway in yeast orchestrates ribosomal DNA amplification, demonstrate that the copy number of repetitive DNA can be altered to suit environmental conditions.

EMBL scientists now show that in yeast a protein called Vtc4p is responsible for the production of polyphosphates. Vtc4p is part of a protein complex called vacuolar transporter chaperone complex (VTC ...

The cells of some yeast species undergo what appears to be a self-destruct process following certain kinds of stress, according to a new study from researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of ...

Peering inside cells to see how they respond to stress Date: October 16, 2023 Source: University of Chicago Summary: The heat shock response of cells is a classic model of biological adaptation ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the "pacemaker" controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the ...

For yeast, having clumps of amyloid is not fatal. Serio and her students exposed amyloid-containing cells of baker's yeast to 104 F (40 C), a temperature that would be a high fever in a human.

In a lab in Atlanta, thousands of yeast cells fight for their lives every day. The ones that live another day grow fastest, reproduce quickest and form the biggest clumps.

In the world of microorganisms, microbes compete for turf, spew chemicals at foes, and sometimes exploit the microscopic terrain to gain an edge. In a study published June 4 in the Cell Press ...
