CytoVes

Cytokinese bei Arabidopsis: CYtokinetische Vesikel, Frachtproteine und Fusionsmaschinerie

01/12/2019 to 30/11/2022

In plant cytokinesis, the partitioning membrane originates through target delivery of secretory vesicles to the cell division plane and the fusion of vesicles with one another, generating the cell plate. A major objective of the proposed research is to identify cargo proteins that are delivered on KNOLLE-bearing membrane vesicles to the plane of cell division and contribute to the formation or maturation of the partitioning membrane and/or the synthesis or assembly of the forming cross wall. Depending on the number of proteins to be identified, we will primarily focus our functional analysis on proteins that appear specifically involved in cytokinesis.
