Annexins are an evolutionary conserved superfamily of proteins able to bind membrane phospholipids in a calcium-dependent manner. Their physiological roles are still being intensively examined and it seems that, despite their general structural similarity, individual proteins are specialized toward specific functions. However, due to their general ability to coordinate membranes in a calcium-sensitive fashion they are thought to participate in membrane flow. In this review, we present a summary of the current understanding of cellular transport in plant cells and consider the possible roles of annexins in different stages of vesicular transport.
膜联蛋白是一类进化上保守的蛋白质超家族,能够以钙依赖的方式结合膜磷脂。它们的生理作用仍在深入研究中,尽管它们在结构上总体相似,但似乎各个蛋白质都专门执行特定功能。然而,由于它们普遍具有以钙敏感方式协调膜的能力,因此被认为参与膜流。在这篇综述中,我们总结了目前对植物细胞中细胞运输的理解,并探讨了膜联蛋白在囊泡运输不同阶段可能发挥的作用。
