Isoforms and isotypes Rab proteins in plant cells and animal

This article describes some of Rab proteins with their eight subfamilies ( RAB1 , Rab3 , Rab4 , Rab5 , Rab6 , Rab7 , Rab9 and Rab11 ) of different cell types . A wide review of the literature has collected information on the expression and localization of several dozen isoforms and isotypes Rab - products paralogous genes resulting from duplication of genomes. They are involved in the endo- and exocytosis , transport between the various compartments , intracellular signaling , cell proliferation and differentiation by odziaływaniu with different effectors and motor proteins .

PLANT DYNAMIN-LIKE PROTEINS – INSIGHTS INTO THE EVOLUTION OF DIVISION MACHINERY OF MITOCHONDRIA AND PLASTIDS

Dynamin and dynamin-related proteins (DRP) participate in many processes essential for normal function of the cells and organisms. They were found both in animals and plants. In Arabidopsis thaliana 16 different dynamin-related proteins were identified that are grouped into six subfamilies. DRP1 and soybean fragmoplastin participate in the cell plate formation during cytokinesis. Two mem- bers of DRP2 subfamily display domain structure similar to mammalian classical dynamins and may be involved in endocytosis and membrane recycling via clathrin-coated vesicles.
