Na+/H+ exchange activity in the plasma membrane of Arabidopsis.
In plants, Na+/H+ exchangers in the plasma membrane are critical for growth in high levels of salt, removing toxic Na+ from the cytoplasm by transport out of the cell. The molecular identity of a plasma membrane Na+/H+ exchanger in Arabidopsis (SOS1) has recently been determined. In this study, immunological analysis provided evidence that SOS1 localizes to the plasma membrane of leaves and roo...
متن کاملNonlinear acoustics determination of phase characteristics of PVDF membrane hydrophones
When an ultrasonic pressure wave propagates through a nonlinear medium, the relative phasing of the generated harmonics causes a distinct asymmetry between the positive and negative pressure levels and between the rise and fall time of examined waveforms. A faithful quantitative reproduction of the source transducer's pressure field requires amplitude and phase measurements by calibrated hydrop...
متن کاملCharacteristics of weight control and physical activity
Anthropometrie measures Body mass index When we speak about the prevalence of obesity in populations, we mean the fraction of people who have excess storage of body fat. ln adult men with weight in the acceptable range, the percentage of body fat is around 15-20%. ln women, this percentage is higher (about 25-30%). Because differences in weight between individuals are only partly due to variati...
متن کاملSnake Cathelicidin NA-CATH and Smaller Helical Antimicrobial Peptides Are Effective against Burkholderia thailandensis
Burkholderia thailandensis is a Gram-negative soil bacterium used as a model organism for B. pseudomallei, the causative agent of melioidosis and an organism classified category B priority pathogen and a Tier 1 select agent for its potential use as a biological weapon. Burkholderia species are reportedly "highly resistant" to antimicrobial agents, including cyclic peptide antibiotics, due to mu...
متن کاملMetabolic activity induces membrane phase separation in endoplasmic reticulum
Membrane phase behavior has been well characterized in model membranes in vitro under thermodynamic equilibrium state. However, the widely observed differences between biological membranes and their in vitro counterparts are placing more emphasis on nonequilibrium factors, including influx and efflux of lipid molecules. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the largest cellular membrane system and ...
