Recent advances have provided new insights into how sucrose is moved from sites of
synthesis to sites of utilisation or storage in sink organs. Sucrose transporters play a central …

Heme is a ubiquitous and essential iron containing metallo-organic cofactor required for
virtually all aerobic life. Heme synthesis is initiated and completed in mitochondria, followed …

Spatial partitioning is a propensity of biological systems orchestrating cell activities in space
and time. The dynamic regulation of plasma membrane nano-environments has recently …

Endocytosis, the process whereby the plasma membrane invaginates to form vesicles, is
essential for bringing many substances into the cell and for membrane turnover. The …

The plasma membrane delimits the cell, and its integrity is essential for cell survival. Lipids
and proteins form domains of distinct composition within the plasma membrane. How …

The S. cerevisiae plasma membrane H+-ATPase, Pma1, is a P3A-type ATPase and the
primary protein component of the membrane compartment of Pma1 (MCP). Like other …

The target of rapamycin complex 2 (TORC2) plays a key role in maintaining the homeostasis
of plasma membrane (PM) tension. TORC2 activation following increased PM tension …

We review the mechanisms responsible for amino acid homeostasis in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae and other fungi. Amino acid homeostasis is essential for cell growth and survival …

Cell polarity reflected by asymmetric distribution of proteins at the plasma membrane is a
fundamental feature of unicellular and multicellular organisms. It remains conceptually …

Biological membranes are partitioned into functional zones termed membrane
microdomains, which contain specific lipids and proteins,–. The composition and …
