About the journal
Protoplasma, An International Journal of Cell Biology, is specializing in the area between structural and molecular analysis of biological systems from gene expression to the subcellular and supracellular levels. The journal is pleased to consider original manuscripts dealing with structural and macromolecular cell biology of protists, fungi, plants, and animals, as well as prokaryotes. Appropriate topics include biogenesis, dynamics, and energetics of membrane compartments; targeting and trafficking of macromolecules; cellular dynamics, intracellular transport, and whole-cell locomotion; structure, dynamics, and molecular components of the cytoskeleton; signalling and regulatory cascades; the cell cycle and cell-to-cell communication. Also considered are papers concerned with molecular cytology; experimental and quantitative ultrastructure; cell and tissue development, pathogenesis, cancer; and environmental aspects of cell biology. In addition to regular research articles, expedited Rapid Communications, and comprehensive Review Articles, Protoplasma publishes succinct presentations of hypotheses, discoveries, or opportunities at the cutting edge of cell biology research under the headings "New Ideas in Cell Biology", and "Focus on Cellular Biochemistry". A special section, "Classics Revisited", is provided for items of historical significance to the development of cell biology.

Manuscript Submission
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities ¨C tacitly or explicitly ¨C at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission
Authors should submit their manuscripts online. Electronic submission substantially reduces the editorial processing and reviewing times and shortens overall publication times. Please follow the hyperlink Submit online on the right and upload all of your manuscript files following the instructions given on the screen.

Use a normal, plain font (e.g., 10-point Times Roman) for text.
Use italics for emphasis.
Use the automatic page numbering function to number the pages.
Do not use field functions.
Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar.
Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.

LaTeX macro package
Headings
Please use no more than three levels of displayed headings.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention and used consistently thereafter.
Footnotes
Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list. They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.
Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
Scientific style
Genetic Nomenclature
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene designation italicized all-capital-letter symbols are used for dominant genes and italicized all-lowercase-letter symbols for recessive genes. A wild-type gene is designated by a superscript plus symbol. The symbols of protein products of both dominant and recessive genes are shown in roman type with capital initials and are often followed by a closed up Schizosaccharomyces pombe gene symbols appear all in italic lowercase letters with a superscript plus symbol for wild-type genes, which is replaced by an allele designation for mutants. The symbol for a gene's protein product (phenotype) is shown in roman type with a capital initial and is often followed by a closed up
In Arabidopsis thaliana gene designation (D. Meinke and M. Koornneef, Plant J. 12: 247¨C253, 1997) italicized alllowercase symbols are used for mutant genes and italicized all-capital symbols for wild-type alleles. The full descriptive names of the wild-type and mutant alleles should appear in a parallel manner. The same rules of nomenclature apply to both dominant and recessive mutations. Phenotype designations appear in roman type with a capital initial; a superscript plus symbol indicates the wild type and a superscript minus symbol refers to the mutant. For a gene's protein product all-capital symbols in roman type are used.
In Zea mays genetics nomenclature (Nomenclature Subcommittee, Maize Genet. Coop. Newsl. 69: 182¨C184, 1995) the name and symbol of a gene locus is shown by italicized lowercase letters to which the italicized number is closed up. For dominant alleles symbols in italics with a capital initial are used and italicized all-lowercase symbols for recessive alleles. For a gene's product (phenotype) allcapital symbols in roman type are used; the name of the product is not capitalized.
See Scientific Style and Format, the CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, 6th ed., for more details of the conventions of genetic designation for these and other
organisms that have been studied by genetic and biochemical methods.
Taxonomic Nomenclature
A genus name alone should only be used when the entire genus is meant; otherwise the genus name with a specific epithet or with species sp or spp. added should be used. (Virus taxonomy does not involve binary terms. Species names are set in roman type without capitalization, except proper nouns, when they do not refer to taxonomic entities but to viral objects or refer to not officially recognized species; in these cases the formal binomial of a host species as part of a virus species name is neither italicized. If the name of an officially recognized species refers to the taxonomic entity, the initial of the first term should be capitalized and the entire name italicized.) The name of a family or any other taxon with a plural ending should not be used to mean members of the family, etc., but this meaning should be expressed explicitly. The word family or class .etc., should precede the formal name on its first appearance. Vernacular names are always in roman type.
Reference
Citation
Cite references in the text by name and year in parentheses. Some examples:
Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
This result was later contradicted (Becker and Seligman 1996).
This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1993).
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text. Do not use footnotes or endnotes as a substitute for a reference list.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work.
