This project aims to elucidate the role of membrane recycling for the lateral segregation of integral membrane proteins into dynamic microcompartments in the budding
yeast plasma membrane (PM).
Building a patchwork -
The yeast plasma membrane as model to study lateral domain formation.
«
The yeast plasma membrane is more rigid.
Not exact matches
The scientists observed that these proteins move extremely slowly in the
plasma membrane of the
yeast and discovered how they travel through the
membrane to reach the islands.
We choose this comparative approach because in contrast to
yeast, where the active, assembled holoenzyme in the vacuolar
membrane is the default state, the insect
plasma membrane V - ATPase is normally inactive and is activated by hormone - induced reassembly.
On the other hand, we focus on in vivo / in situ studies using the
yeast V - ATPase in the vacuolar
membrane as well as the insect
plasma membrane V - ATPase.
