Gravitropism in Phycomyces: a role for sedimenting protein crystals and floating lipid globules.

Planta - 1 Nov 1999

Schimek C, Eibel P, Grolig F, Horie T, Ootaki T, Galland P

Abstract excerpt

To elucidate the graviperception of the unicellular fungus, Phycomyces blakesleeanus, sporangiophores were inspected for intracellular structures which relocate with respect to gravity. Two structures, paracrystalline proteins (so-called octahedral crystals) and an aggregate of lipid globules, were identified which showed redistribution upon reorientation of the sporangiophore. Octahedral crystals occur...
