...Imogen A. Sparkes Organelle movement in plants cells is extremely dynamic. Movement is driven by the acto-myosin system. Higher plant myosins fall into two classes: classes XI and VIII. Localization studies have highlighted that myosins are present throughout the cytosol, label motile puncta...

... is present in many photosynthetic and chemoautotrophic bacteria, and so plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. It also serves as the prototypical member of what appears to be a large class of primitive protein-based organelles in bacteria. A series of crystal structures is beginning to reveal...

..., possess an organelle-specific, structural protein, caveolin [ 9 – 11 ]. The discovery of caveolin provided a molecular tag that has facilitated biochemical, cellular and molecular biological studies of caveolar microdomains (for recent reviews, see [ 12 – 17 ]). Flotillins/reggies, another class...

...T.P.J. Dunkley; P. Dupree; R.B. Watson; K.S. Lilley Organelle proteomics is the analysis of the protein contents of a subcellular compartment. Proteins identified in subcellular proteomic studies can only be assigned to an organelle if there are no contaminants present in the sample preparation...
