The mechanism of cytoplasmic streaming in characean algal cells: sliding of endoplasmic reticulum along actin filaments
Electron microscopy of directly frozen giant cells of characean algae shows a continuous, tridimensional network of anastomosing tubes and cisternae of rough endoplasmic reticulum which pervade the streaming region of their cytoplasm. Portions of this endoplasmic reticulum contact the parallel bundles of actin filaments at the interface with the stationary cortical cytoplasm. Mitochondria, glyc...
متن کاملCytoplasmic streaming in plants.
Plant cells are surrounded by a cell wall composed of polysaccharides and hence can change neither their form nor their position. However, active movement of organelles (cytoplasmic streaming or protoplasmic streaming) is observed in plant cells, and involvement of the actin/myosin system in these processes has been suggested. Successful biochemical and biophysical approaches to studying myosin...
متن کاملMulti-Scale Characean Experimental System: From Electrophysiology of Membrane Transporters to Cell-to-Cell Connectivity, Cytoplasmic Streaming and Auxin Metabolism
The morphology of characean algae could be mistaken for a higher plant: stem-like axes with leaf-like branchlets anchored in the soil by root-like rhizoids. However, all of these structures are made up of giant multinucleate cells separated by multicellular nodal complexes. The excised internodal cells survive long enough for the nodes to give rise to new thallus. The size of the internodes and...
متن کاملCytoplasmic streaming in plant cells: the role of wall slip.
We present a computer simulation study, via lattice Boltzmann simulations, of a microscopic model for cytoplasmic streaming in algal cells such as those of Chara corallina. We modelled myosin motors tracking along actin lanes as spheres undergoing directed motion along fixed lines. The sphere dimension takes into account the fact that motors drag vesicles or other organelles, and, unlike previo...
متن کاملRegulation of cytoplasmic streaming in Vallisneria mesophyll cells.
Induction and cessation of the rotational cytoplasmic streaming in Vallisneria mesophyll cells could be controlled by external stimuli. In cells that had been kept in darkness the cytoplasm remained quiescent. However, when the cells were treated in the dark with EGTA solution (10 mM or 20 mM buffered with 10 mM-Tris-maleate at pH 7.0), rotational cytoplasmic streaming was induced. When the cel...
