Amino acid uptake in rust fungi
The plant pathogenic rust fungi colonize leaf tissue and feed off their host plants without killing them. Certain economically important species of different genera such as Melampsora, Phakopsora, Puccinia, or Uromyces are extensively studied for resolving the mechanisms of the obligate biotrophy. As obligate parasites rust fungi only can complete their life cycle on living hosts where they gro...
متن کاملAmino Acid Uptake in Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Plants
We examined the extent to which arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi root improved the acquisition of simple organic nitrogen (ON) compounds by their host plants. In a greenhouse-based study, we used quantum dots (fluorescent nanoparticles) to assess uptake of each of the 20 proteinaceous amino acids by AM-colonized versus uncolonized plants. We found that AM colonization increased uptake of pheny...
متن کاملQuantification of excitatory amino acid uptake at intact glutamatergic synapses by immunocytochemistry of exogenous D-aspartate.
To study the localization and efficiency of glutamate/aspartate membrane transport in the vicinity of intact glutamatergic synapses, the avascular lamprey spinal cord was incubated with D-aspartate, a metabolically inert transporter substrate. The exogenous D-aspartate was localized by immunocytochemistry after aldehyde fixation. Incubation at 50 or 500 microM D-aspartate for 1 hr caused a prom...
متن کاملTobacco nicotine uptake permease (NUP1) affects alkaloid metabolism.
An effective plant alkaloid chemical defense requires a variety of transport processes, but few alkaloid transporters have been characterized at the molecular level. Previously, a gene fragment encoding a putative plasma membrane proton symporter was isolated, because it was coordinately regulated with several nicotine biosynthetic genes. Here, we show that this gene fragment corresponds to a N...
متن کامل1 Fatty Acid Metabolism during Maturation Affects Glucose Uptake and is Essential to 1 Oocyte Competence
15 Fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is essential for oocyte maturation in mice. The objective of this 16 experiment was to determine the effect of etomoxir (a FAO inhibitor; 100 μM), carnitine (1 17 mM), and palmitic acid (1 or 100 μM) during maturation on metabolism and gene expression of 18 the oocyte and cumulus cells, and subsequent embryo development in the mouse. Carnitine 19 significantly incr...
