Inductive asymmetric cell division
C. elegans, with its invariant cell lineage, provides a powerful model system in which to study signaling-dependent asymmetric cell division. The C. elegans β-catenin-related protein, WRM-1, specifies endoderm at the 4-cell stage during the first cell signaling-induced asymmetric cell division of embryogenesis. During this interaction, Wnt signaling and the cell cycle regulator CDK-1 act togeth...
متن کاملInsertion elements and deletion formation in a halophilic archaebacterium.
Deletion events that occur spontaneously in 36-kilobase-pair (kbp) plasmid pHH4 from the archaebacterium Halobacterium halobium were investigated. Four different deletion derivatives with sizes ranging from 5.7 to 17 kbp were isolated. Three of these deletion variants derived from pHH4 (pHH6 [17 kbp], pHH7 [16 kbp], and pHH8 [6.3 kbp]), whereas the 5.7-kbp plasmid pHH9 derived from pHH6. Strain...
متن کاملStructural features that stabilize halophilic malate dehydrogenase from an archaebacterium.
The high-resolution structure of halophilic malate dehydrogenase (hMDH) from the archaebacterium Haloarcula marismortui was determined by x-ray crystallography. Comparison of the three-dimensional structures of hMDH and its nonhalophilic congeners reveals structural features that may promote the stability of hMDH at high salt concentrations. These features include an excess of acidic over basic...
متن کاملAsymmetric cell division: from A to Z.
Cell divisions producing two daughter cells that adopt distinct fates are defined as asymmetric. In all organisms, ranging from bacteria to mammals, in which development has been studied extensively, asymmetric cell divisions generate cell diversity. Asymmetric cell divisions can be achieved by either intrinsic or extrinsic mechanisms (Fig. 1). Intrinsic mechanisms involve the preferential segr...
متن کاملAsymmetric cell division: a persistent issue?
Heterogeneity within a clonal population of cells can increase survival in the face of environmental stress. In a recent issue of Science, Aldridge et al. (2012) demonstrate that cell division in mycobacteria is asymmetric, producing daughter cells that differ in size, growth rate, and susceptibility to antibiotics.
