Exocytosis of the silicified cell wall of diatoms involves extensive membrane disintegration

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Diede Haan from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the paper: Exocytosis of the silicified cell wall of diatoms involves extensive membrane disintegration, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of 16/01/2023
  • what: The authors demonstrate that within the cell, the proximal silica deposition vesicle membrane becomes the new barrier between the cell and its environment, and assumes the role of a new plasma_membrane. To conclude, this work proposes a unique mechanism for the exocytosis of diatom silica, which involves two remarkable events.
  • how: The authors investigated valve exocytosis in diatoms by studying two species . . .
