Plant Cell Shape: Trafficking Gets Edgy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyhedral-shaped plant cells have faces, corners, and edges that can have different material properties. As Kirchhelle et al. (2016) now show, RAB-A5c reveals a trafficking compartment that localizes to the edges where two cell walls meet, with a potential role in mediating local wall stiffness.

Rab11 is required for maintenance of cell shape via βPS integrin mediated cell adhesion in Drosophila
In eukaryotes, vesicle trafficking is regulated by the small monomeric GTPases of the Rab protein family. Rab11, (a subfamily of the Ypt/Rab gene family) an evolutionarily conserved, ubiquitously expressed subfamily of small monomeric Rab GTPases, has been implicated in regulating vesicular trafficking through the recycling of endosomal compartment. In an earlier communication, we have shown th...
متن کاملPlant cell shape: modulators and measurements
Plant cell shape, seen as an integrative output, is of considerable interest in various fields, such as cell wall research, cytoskeleton dynamics and biomechanics. In this review we summarize the current state of knowledge on cell shape formation in plants focusing on shape of simple cylindrical cells, as well as in complex multipolar cells such as leaf pavement cells and trichomes. We summariz...
متن کاملO 6: Kininogen Deficiency Ameliorates Neuroinflammation by Reducing Immune Cell Trafficking
Enhanced immune cell trafficking into the central nervous system (CNS) and disruption of the blood brain barrier are pathophysiological hallmarks of neuroinflammatory disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS) and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). However, recent studies suggest that the coagulation and the contact-kinin system might also be involved in MS developme...
متن کاملUpdate on Cellulose Synthase Trafficking Trafficking of the Plant Cellulose Synthase Complex
Cellulose is the most abundant component of plant cell walls and its importance is well documented. In the primary cell wall it forms part of the load-bearing network that both controls and maintains cell shape, while allowing regulated cell expansion that is essential during growth. Cellulose is also the major component of secondary cell walls where it is required for mechanical strength for t...
متن کاملEmerging roles for microtubules in angiosperm pollen tube growth highlight new research cues
In plants, actin filaments have an important role in organelle movement and cytoplasmic streaming. Otherwise microtubules (MTs) have a role in restricting organelles to specific areas of the cell and in maintaining organelle morphology. In somatic plant cells, MTs also participate in cell division and morphogenesis, allowing cells to take their definitive shape in order to perform specific func...
