Sweets – The Missing Sugar Efflux Carriers
One of the last mysteries in plant physiology is the efflux of sugars from mesophyll cells into the apoplasmic space. Depending on the strategy of long-distance assimilate transport, text books divide plants into symplasmic and apoplasmic phloem loaders. In both cases large concentration gradients are built up between mesophyll cells and the sieve element–companion cell complex (SE– CCC) of the...
متن کاملNK cell receptors: Of missing sugar and missing self
Natural killer cells in mice detect cells in distress using lectin-like receptors that bind to self-MHC class I molecules. A new co-crystal structure suggests how NK cell maturation and attack may be mediated by receptor interaction at two distinct sites on the MHC class I molecule, both involving glycosylation.
متن کاملLeishmania UDP-sugar pyrophosphorylase: the missing link in galactose salvage?
The Leishmania parasite glycocalyx is rich in galactose-containing glycoconjugates that are synthesized by specific glycosyltransferases that use UDP-galactose as a glycosyl donor. UDP-galactose biosynthesis is thought to be predominantly a de novo process involving epimerization of the abundant nucleotide sugar UDP-glucose by the UDP-glucose 4-epimerase, although galactose salvage from the env...
متن کاملPosttranslational modification and trafficking of PIN auxin efflux carriers
Cell-to-cell communication is absolutely essential for multicellular organisms. Both animals and plants use chemicals called hormones for intercellular signaling. However, multicellularity of plants and animals has evolved independently, which led to establishment of distinct strategies in order to cope with variations in an ever-changing environment. The phytohormone auxin is crucial to plant ...
متن کاملStars, Swatches, and Sweets
Architects tend to refer to themselves as visual people. Though we often employ this as an excuse for our poor writing skills, it also points out our fascination with visual information, our interest in making sense out of visual relation ships and our love for making things that are under stood largely in visual, as well as visceral, terms. Lately however—perhaps because I have been writing ...
