Ultrastructural analysis and identification of membrane proteins in the free-living amoeba Difflugia corona.

چکیده
Syntaxin-1 and 25-kDa Synaptosome-associated Protein (SNAP-25) are present in the plasma membrane of several different secretory cell types and are involved in the exocytosis process. In this work, the free-living amoeba Difflugia corona was studied in relation to ultrastructure, structural membrane proteins, and proteins such as Syntaxin-1 and SNAP-25. Our results obtained by scanning electron microscopy in the amoeba without its theca, showed many membrane projections and several pore-like structures. Using immunocytochemistry, we found structural proteins Syntaxin-1 and SNAP-25.

Background: The free-living amoeba called amphizoic amoebae, have the ability to live in natural environmental resources, including water, soil, dust and body tissues of humans and animals. Unlike other free-living amoebae, Neagleria fowleri could cause fatal disease called Primary Amoebic Meningoencephalitis in immunocompetent humans and animals. The disease affects the meninges membrane of br...

Introduction: Acanthamoeba, also called amphizoic amoebae, could live in various environmental sources including water, soil, dust and also human and animal tissues. This amoeba could develop diseases such as keratitis and encephalitis in high-risk individuals. Objective: The present study was conducted considering the possible contamination of hospital wards with Acanthamoba and the lack of...

Background and purpose: Acanthamoeba spp. are an opportunistic protozoan in environmental sources that can cause respiratory infection and keratitis. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence and genotypes of Acanthamoeba in rural drinking water sources in Kashan and Aran-Bidgol, Iran. Materials and methods: In this study, 162 samples from 54 drinking water sources were colle...

The hydrophobic proteins of plant plasma membrane still remain largely unknown. For example in the Arabidopsis genome, receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are plasma membrane proteins, functioning as the primary receptors in the signaling of stress conditions, hormones and the presence of pathogens form a diverse family of over 610 genes. A limited number of these proteins have appeard in pr...
متن کاملStructural organization associated with pseudopod extension and contraction during cell locomotion in Difflugia.
In Difflugia corona, a free-living amoeboid cell, locomotion is hampered by a heavy shell or test made of sand grains and other debris. Locomotion involves pseudopod extension, attachment to the substratum, and forcible pseudopod retraction which pulls the shelled cell body forward. When observed through a polarizing microscope, the extending pseudopodia appear isotropic or very weakly birefrin...
