A systems model of vesicle trafficking in Arabidopsis pollen tubes.
A systems model that describes vesicle trafficking during pollen tube growth in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) was constructed. The model is composed of ordinary differential equations that connect the molecular functions of genes expressed in pollen. The current model requires soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) and small GTPases, Arf or ...
متن کاملVesicle trafficking dynamics and visualization of zones of exocytosis and endocytosis in tobacco pollen tubes.
Pollen tubes are one of the fastest growing eukaryotic cells. Rapid anisotropic growth is supported by highly active exocytosis and endocytosis at the plasma membrane, but the subcellular localization of these sites is unknown. To understand molecular processes involved in pollen tube growth, it is crucial to identify the sites of vesicle localization and trafficking. This report presents novel...
متن کاملInterdependence of endomembrane trafficking and actin dynamics during polarized growth of Arabidopsis pollen tubes.
During polarized growth of pollen tubes, endomembrane trafficking and actin polymerization are two critical processes that establish membrane/wall homeostasis and maintain growth polarity. Fine-tuned interactions between these two processes are therefore necessary but poorly understood. To better understand such cross talk in the model plant Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), we first establis...
متن کاملDetermination of secretory vesicle production rates by dictyosomes in pollen tubes of Tradescantia using cytochalasin D.
Pollen tubes of Tradescantia were grown in vitro and exposed to 0.3 microgram/ml cytochalasin D for 5 or 10 min. Fine-structural observations revealed no visible effect of the drug on the organelles. Stereological analysis, using a method recently developed by Rose (1980) to obtain sphere size-distributions corrected for section thickness, revealed substantial increase in the number of secretor...
متن کاملArabidopsis COG Complex Subunits COG3 and COG8 Modulate Golgi Morphology, Vesicle Trafficking Homeostasis and Are Essential for Pollen Tube Growth
Spatially and temporally regulated membrane trafficking events incorporate membrane and cell wall materials into the pollen tube apex and are believed to underlie the rapid pollen tube growth. In plants, the molecular mechanisms and physiological functions of intra-Golgi transport and Golgi integrity maintenance remain largely unclear. The conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG) complex has been impli...
