Membrane tension regulates water transport in yeast.
Evidence that membrane surface tension regulates water fluxes in intact cells of a Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain overexpressing aquaporin AQY1 was obtained by assessing the osmotic water transport parameters in cells equilibrated in different osmolarities. The osmotic water permeability coefficients (P(f)) obtained for yeast cells overexpressing AQY1 incubated in low osmolarity buffers were s...
متن کاملNuclear myosin I regulates cell membrane tension
Plasma membrane tension is an important feature that determines the cell shape and influences processes such as cell motility, spreading, endocytosis and exocytosis. Unconventional class 1 myosins are potent regulators of plasma membrane tension because they physically link the plasma membrane with adjacent cytoskeleton. We identified nuclear myosin 1 (NM1) - a putative nuclear isoform of myosi...
متن کاملSelective and Efficient Ligandless Water-in-Oil Emulsion Liquid Membrane Transport of Thorium(IV) Ions
The present paper concerns on the selective and very efficient transport of thorium(IV) ions from aqueous solutions through an emulsion liquid membranes composed by paraffin and a surfactant, without carrier requirement. The influence of pH of the external aqueous phase, the surfactant concentration in the membrane phase, the type, and concentration of th...
متن کاملThe yeast vacuolar ABC transporter Ybt1p regulates membrane fusion through Ca2+ transport modulation.
Ybt1p is a class C ABC transporter (ATP-binding cassette transporter) that is localized to the vacuole of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Although Ybt1p was originally identified as a bile acid transporter, it has also been found to function in other capacities, including the translocation of phosphatidylcholine to the vacuole lumen, and the regulation of Ca2+ homoeostasis. In the present study we fo...
متن کاملMembrane tension regulates motility by controlling lamellipodium organization.
Many cell movements proceed via a crawling mechanism, where polymerization of the cytoskeletal protein actin pushes out the leading edge membrane. In this model, membrane tension has been seen as an impediment to filament growth and cell motility. Here we use a simple model of cell motility, the Caenorhabditis elegans sperm cell, to test how membrane tension affects movement and cytoskeleton dy...
