What is the function of nucleus and vacuoles?

Summary. Nvj1p resides in the outer nuclear membrane (ONM) and binds the vacuole membrane protein Vac8p to form nucleus-vacuole (NV) junctions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The induction of NVJ1 expression during starvation results in the sequestration of two additional binding partners, Tsc13p and Osh1p. read more

Along with nucleus, vacuole is one of the important organelles of cells. A List of Main Functions of the Vacuole. The cell nucleus has two major functions: it stores the cell's hereditary material, or DNA, and it coordinates the cell's activities, which include growth, intermediary metabolism, protein synthesis, and reproduction (cell division). read more

The main function of vacuoles in animal cells is to isolate and remove waste products from the other organelles and the cytoplasm. Vacuoles generally have acidic pH values, which allows them to isolate and destroy misfolded proteins transferred to the vacuole from other parts of the cell. read more

Vacuole is considered as the 'storage bin' of cells. Along with nucleus, vacuole is one of the important organelles of cells. The different functions performed by vacuole are listed below. The waste products generated in cells are accumulated in vacuoles. Thus, vacuoles protect other organelles of the cell from harmful effects of wastes. read more

Vacuole Function in Plant Cells In plants, the vacuole contains an outer membrane called a tonoplast and a solution called cell sap. Cell sap in vacuoles usually contains water and essential proteins, enzymes, salts and ions, which are necessary for growth. read more
