MEMBRANE TRANSPORT (Reader 1) Passive Transport Simple

... Hydrophilic molecules and very large molecules can't pass through the cell membrane by simple diffusion. They need help to pass through the membrane. The help is provided by proteins called transport proteins. This process is known as facilitated diffusion. There are two types of transport proteins: ...

Following perception of ABA, these receptors form ternary complexes with clade A PP2C phosphatases (such as ABA INSENSITIVE1 and HYPERSENSITIVE TO ABA1), thereby inactivating them (Park et al., 2009) and unleashing a cascade of ABA responses. These ABA responses ...

Lipid raft



The plasma membranes of cells contain combinations of glycosphingolipids and protein receptors organized in glycolipoprotein microdomains termed lipid rafts. These specialized membrane microdomains compartmentalize cellular processes by serving as organizing centers for the assembly of signaling molecules, influencing membrane fluidity and membrane protein trafficking, and regulating neurotransmission and receptor trafficking. Lipid rafts are more ordered and tightly packed than the surrounding bilayer, but float freely in the membrane bilayer. Although more common in plasma membrane, lipid rafts have also been reported in other parts of the cell, such as Golgi and lysosomes.
