Assembly of Lipids into Membranes in Acanthamoeba Palestinensis
The membranes of Acanthamoeba palestinensis were studied by examination in fixed cells, and then by following the movements of glycerol-(3)H-labeled phospholipids by cell fractionation. Two previously undescribed structures were observed: collapsed cytoplasmic vesicles of cup shape, and plaques in food vacuole and plasma membrane similar in size to the collapsed vesicles. It appeared that the p...

متن کاملEnzymes of phospholipid metabolism in the plasma membrane of Acanthamoeba castellanii.
Phospholipase A, lyophospholipase, acyl CoA hydrolase, and palmitoyl CoA synthetase are present in the plasma membrane of Acanthamoeba castellanii. The first three of these enzymes also occur in other cell fractions but in concentrations too low for the activities in the plasma membrane fraction to be accounted for by contamination by any other cell fraction. Palmitoyl CoA synthetase is restric...
متن کاملMolecular Identification and Sequencing of Mannose Binding Protein (MBP) Gene of Acanthamoeba palestinensis
BACKGROUND Acanthamoeba keratitis develops by pathogenic Acanthamoeba such as A. palestinensis. Indeed this species is one of the known causative agents of amoebic keratitis in Iran. Mannose Binding Protein (MBP) is the main pathogenicity factors for developing this sight threatening disease. We aimed to characterize MBP gene in pathogenic Acanthamoeba isolates such as A. palestinensis. METHO...
متن کاملRegularly Arranged Particles on the Inner Lamella of the Plasma Membrane of Acanthamoeba Palestinensis
Recently, it was suggested that portions of the plasma membrane of Acanthamoeba palestinensis are composed of curved pieces of membrane or plaques, which may be derived from and/or give rise to cuplike cytoplasmic vesicles (1) . This paper, previously reported in abstract form (2), further delineates the mosaic nature of the plasma membrane of this cell by describing the existence of regions of...
