Plastids change their morphology dynamically in response to environmental conditions and developmental status. Related to these plastid dynamics, the quality and quantity controls of proteins are necessary. Therefore, proteases are importan...
Membrane trafficking in protozoa SNARE proteins, H+-ATPase, actin, and other key players in ciliates [0.03%]

Due to their well-defined pathways of vesicle trafficking and manyfold mutants ciliates have served as good model systems. Further studies required the development of databases, now available for Paramecium and Tetrahymena. A variety of key...

Cnidarians are often used as model animals in studies of eye and photopigment evolution. Most cnidarians display photosensitivity at some point in their lifecycle ranging from extraocular photoreception to image formation in camera-type eye...
Natriuretic peptides in the regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis [0.03%]

Atrial (ANP), brain (BNP), and C-type (CNP) natriuretic peptides act by binding to three main subtypes of receptors, named NPR-A, -B, and -C. NPR-A and NPR-B are coupled with guanylate cyclase. Not only NPR-C is involved in removing natriur...

By controlling cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix, integrin receptors regulate processes as diverse as cell migration, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and synaptic stability. Because the underlying mechanisms are generally...
