Following the unequivocal demonstration that plants contain at least two types of vacuoles,
scientists studying this organelle have realized that the plant 'vacuome'is far more complex …

Calmodulin CaM is a ubiquitous Ca2+ sensor protein (16 to 18 kD) with no catalytic activity
that can, upon binding Ca2+, activate target proteins involved in various cellular processes …

Heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) are toxic pollutants that are
detrimental to living organisms. Plants employ a two‐step mechanism to detoxify toxic ions …

Arsenic is an extremely toxic metalloid causing serious health problems. In Southeast Asia,
aquifers providing drinking and agricultural water for tens of millions of people are …

A challenging task in the study of the secretory pathway is the identification and localization
of new proteins to increase our understanding of the functions of different organelles …

Plant hormones are important biotic factors to regulate root growth. Among the seven kinds
of plant hormones, auxin and gibberellin (GA) are strong accelerators of shoot growth, but …

Different subclasses of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters have been implicated in the
transport of native variants of the phytohormone auxin. Here, the putative, individual roles of …

Human contains 49 ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter genes and the multidrug
resistance associated proteins (MRP1/ABCC1, MRP2/ABCC2, MRP3/ABCC3 …

To better understand the mechanisms governing cellular traffic, storage of various
metabolites, and their ultimate degradation, Arabidopsis thaliana vacuole proteomes were …

The vacuole is the main cellular storage pool, where sucrose (Suc) accumulates to high
concentrations. While a limited number of vacuolar membrane proteins, such as V-type H+ …
