CSB Seminar: Membrane remodeling in plant endosomal trafficking
January 8, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
“Membrane remodeling in plant endosomal trafficking”
Marisa Otegui, Professor
Departments of Botany and Genetics Laboratory of Cell and Molecular Biology U of Wisconsin-Madison
Abstract:
Cells rely on multiple degradative pathways to maintain protein and organelle homeostasis. One of these pathways, the endosomal route, requires extensive membrane remodeling and vesicular trafficking to sort and deliver proteins from the plasma membrane for degradation inside vacuoles. Whereas the molecular machinery in this pathway is largely conserved in all eukaryotes, plants have also evolved unique components accordingly to their particular cellular needs. I will discuss how ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) proteins mediate endosomal membrane remodeling during protein sorting in plants and how their functions control plant development and responses to environmental changes.
