Topic:Multivesicular Bodies
Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) are membrane-bound organelles found within the cells of horses, as in other animals. They are involved in the transport and sorting of proteins and lipids within the cell. MVBs play a role in the endosomal-lysosomal pathway, where they facilitate the delivery of cellular cargo to lysosomes for degradation. Additionally, MVBs are implicated in the process of exosome formation, which involves the secretion of small vesicles that participate in intercellular communication. This topic encompasses peer-reviewed research studies and scholarly articles that explore the formation, function, and significance of multivesicular bodies in equine cellular biology.
Equine Infectious Anemia Virus Gag Assembly and Export Are Directed by Matrix Protein through trans-Golgi Networks and Cellular Vesicles. Gag intracellular assembly and export are very important processes for lentiviruses replication. Previous studies have demonstrated that equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV) matrix (MA) possesses distinct phosphoinositide affinity compared with HIV-1 MA and that phosphoinositide-mediated targeting to peripheral and internal membranes is a critical factor in EIAV assembly and release. In this study, we compared the cellular assembly sites of EIAV and HIV-1. We observed that the assembly of EIAV particles occurred on interior cellular membranes, while HIV-1 was targeted to the plasma membrane (...
Fine structure of the epithelia of the vomeronasal organ of horse and cattle. A comparative study. The vomeronasal organ of both horses and cattle is a tubular structure situated bilaterally at the base of the nasal septum. In frontal plane the shape of its lumen is semilunar to crescent. The sensory epithelium lining the medial wall of the lumen contains receptor, supporting and basal cells with some surface modifications in both species. In the horse, a structure similar to a microprocess was observed among the microvilli of receptor cells. In cattle, a large mass of the cytoplasm of the receptor cell occasionally protrudes to form a bleb-like structure. The supranuclear cytoplasm of the ...
