Sweets – The Missing Sugar Efflux Carriers
One of the last mysteries in plant physiology is the efflux of sugars from mesophyll cells into the apoplasmic space. Depending on the strategy of long-distance assimilate transport, text books divide plants into symplasmic and apoplasmic phloem loaders. In both cases large concentration gradients are built up between mesophyll cells and the sieve element–companion cell complex (SE– CCC) of the...
متن کاملMammalian Sugar Transporters
Glucose represents the major energy source of mammalian cells. Due to its hydrophilic nature, glucose requires specific transporters in order to cross cellular membranes. Such transport is, in the case of glucose and also other monosaccharides, mediated by energy-coupled as well as facilitative mechanisms represented by protein families of sodium-driven sugar cotransporters (SGLTs) and glucose ...
متن کاملStructural Homology to Other Sugar Transporters
The MAL61 gene of Saccharomyces cerewisiae encodes maltose permease, a protein required for the transport of maltose across the plasma membrane. Here we report the nucleotide sequence of the cloned MAL61 gene. A single 1842 bp open reading frame is present within this region encoding the 6 14 residue putative MAL61 protein. Hydropathy analysis suggests that the secondary structure consists of t...
متن کاملIntercellular communication via intracellular calcium oscillations.
In this letter, we present the results of a simple model for intercellular communication via calcium oscillations, motivated in part by a recent experimental study. The model describes two cells (a "donor" and "sensor") whose intracellular dynamics involve a calcium-induced, calcium release process. The cells are coupled by assuming that the input of the sensor cell is proportional to the outpu...
متن کاملStars, Swatches, and Sweets
Architects tend to refer to themselves as visual people. Though we often employ this as an excuse for our poor writing skills, it also points out our fascination with visual information, our interest in making sense out of visual relation ships and our love for making things that are under stood largely in visual, as well as visceral, terms. Lately however—perhaps because I have been writing ...
