Analysis of Myosin XI and RabA Relationships during Polarized Tip Growth in Physcomitrella patens
PublicDownloadable Content
open in viewerIn plants, polarized tip growth is a fundamental process that occurs by the myosin-dependent transport of secretory vesicles to the growing tip. It is believed that Rab proteins play a role as myosin receptors on secretory vesicles. To evaluate this hypothesis, I performed fluctuation cross-correlation analysis to characterize the spatiotemporal relationship between myosin and RabA proteins in Physcomitrella patens. Supporting the hypothesis, I found a strong correlation of the fluctuations levels between both proteins at the tip of growing cells.
