Clathrin‐independent endocytosis contributes to uptake of glucose into BY‐2 protoplasts
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In eukaryotic cells, several pathways exist for the internalization of plasma membrane proteins and extracellular cargo molecules. These endocytic pathways can be divided into clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent pathways. While clathrin-dependent pathways are known to be involved in a variety of cellular processes in plants, clathrin-independent pathways have so far only been identified in animal and yeast cells. Here we show that internalization of fluorescent glucose into BY-2 cells leads to accumulation of the sugar in compartments of the endocytic pathway. This endocytic uptake of glucose was not blocked by ikarugamycin, an inhibitor of clathrin-dependent endocytosis, suggesting a role for clathrin-independent endocytosis in glucose uptake. Investigations of fusion and fission of single vesicles by membrane capacitance measurements revealed stimulation of endocytic activity by extracellular glucose. Glucose-stimulated fission of vesicles was not affected by addition of ikarugamycin or blocking of clathrin coat formation by transient over-expression of HUB1 (the C-terminal part of the clathrin heavy chain). These data demonstrate that clathrin-independent endocytosis does occur in plant cells. This pathway may represent a common mechanism for the uptake of external nutrients.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
