Vacuole membrane protein 1 (VMP1) is an integral membrane protein that plays a pivotal role in cellular processes, particularly in the regulation of autophagy. Autophagy, a self-degradative mechanism, ...

To clarify, macronucleophagy is an autophagy pathway in which a part of the nucleus bulges outwards, is encapsulated by a vesicle called an autophagosome, and is delivered to the vacuole.

Ubiquitylation is a reversible post-translational modification involved in a myriad of cellular functions. A superfamily of approximately 100 ubiquitin-specific proteases, called deubiquitylating ...

They also ran the tests using root samples taken from rice -- the world's most common crop -- and found that, in this case too, the sodium was transported to the vacuole under high salt stress.

This important study sheds light on the role of sphingolipids on the maturation of Parkinson's disease-associated Synphilin-1 inclusion bodies (SY1 IBs) on the mitochondrial surface in a yeast model ...
