The collapsed cytopharyngeal membrane extends from the open cytopharynx into the cytosol. This membrane is associated with many docked acidosomes, vesicles that contain V-type proton translocating ATP...

Carrier vesicles are around 100nm in diameter. They can carpet the cytopharyngeal ribbons with a layer of vesicles, several vesicles wide, as shown in this micrograph. As seen here the ribbons come to...

The endosomal compartment is enlarged in the ema[1] mutant. Colocalization between DVGLUT (red) aggregates and the endosomal ESCRT protein Hrs (green, also known as Vps27) in motoneuron cell bodies of...

Internalization of Alexa 594-a-factor. When added to cells, A594-α-factor (and A488-α-factor, data not shown) was first seen in internal endocytic compartments by 5 min. By 10 min, A594-α-factor be...

Localization of Abp1-RFP (red; left) and Abp140-3GFP (green; center). By expressing Abp1-mRFP and Abp140–3GFP to visualize endocytic vesicles and actin cables respectively, we observed that approxim...

Colocalization between DVGLUT (red) aggregates and the endosomal ESCRT protein Hrs (green, also known as Vps27) in motoneuron cell bodies of the ventral nerve cord of a wild-type larva. Wandering thir...

One segment of the assembly line used for phagosome membrane growth in P. caudatum. Cytopharyngeal ribbons bring discoidal vesicles to the left lip of the cytopharynx where the vesicles bind and then ...

Localization on the cell surface of Alexa Fluor-488-α factor (left, green in merge) and Abp1-RFP (center; red in merge). Within each box, α-factor spots first appear and are subsequently joined by A...

Localization of Alexa Fluor-594-α factor labeled endosomes (red; center) and Abp1-GFP labeled endocytic patches (green; left) in an arp3-D11A cell. Although the patches do not move off the plasma mem...

The nascent digestive vacuole forms as the membrane of flattened vesicles fuse with the single membrane of the cytopharynx between the lamellae (2 microtubules forming a lamella) that are connected al...
