Osmoregulation in Trypanosoma Cruzi: The Role of the Acidocalcisome
Electron microscopic observations revealed a contractile vacuole coupled to acidocalcisomes in all three life cycle stages of the parasite. An aquaporin homologue localized to the acidocalcisomes and contractile vacuole. In epimastigotes expressing a GFP-aquaporin fusion protein, acidocalcisomes …

Conserved and Novel Properties of Clathrin-Mediated Endocytosis in Dictyostelium Discoideum
… endocytosis in maintenance and biogenesis of the contractile vacuole in Dictyostelium. Contractile vacuoles are specialized organelles found in some single celled organisms that allow cells to osmoregulate by collecting and removing excess water from the cytoplasm; they are not found in yeast or …

Characterization of a Chlamydomonas protein involved in cell division and autophagy
The contractile vacuole (CV) is an osmoregulatory organelle found exclusively in algae and protists. In addition to expelling excessive water out of the cell, it also expels ions and other metabolites and thereby contributes to the cell's metabolic homeostasis. The interest in the CV reaches beyond …
