Partitioning of casein kinase 1-like 6 to late endosome-like vesicles.

Abstract

Members of the casein kinase 1 family are highly conserved protein Ser/Thr kinases found in all eukaryotes. They are involved in various cellular, physiological, and developmental processes, but the role of this family of kinase in plants is not well known. By localization studies employing fluorescent live cell imaging and biochemical membrane fractionation, here we showed that Arabidopsis casein kinase-like 6 (CKL6) localizes to motile vesicle-like structures that cofractionate with prevacuolar markers. They were found both in the cytoplasm and at the cell periphery and were motile within the cell. Apparently, this motility was dependent on actin filaments and CKL6-positive vesicles partially colocalized with a late endosomal compartment. However, CKL6-positive structures were not sensitive to brefeldin A nor wortmannin treatment, suggesting that they may belong to a novel compartment. Association of CKL6-positive structures with the cell periphery at the cellular junctions was detected after separation of the protoplasts by plasmolysis. Collectively, these data led us to propose that CKL6 is associated with late endosomal-like compartments that are not fully characterized and may play a role in cellular processes important f...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
