Axis Formation: Squint Comes into Focus
Gene products provided by the mother to the embryo determine the body axes in most animals. A recent study in zebrafish proposes that the TGFss signal Squint is one such factor.
متن کاملDecapper comes into focus.
In this issue of Structure, Scarsdale et al. (2006) report structures of the Xenopus X29 Nudix decapping protein, including homodimer structures in complex with cap nucleotides. These structures reveal insights into the mechanism of cap substrate recognition and predict an RNA binding path on the protein surface. The small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are a group of non-coding RNAs that associate w...
متن کاملsynMuv verite--Myb comes into focus.
Over the past 25 years, tremendous progress has been made in the identification of the genetic alterations that cause cancer. The discovery of oncogenes and tumorsuppressor genes relied largely on studies of animal retroviruses, consistent chromosomal aberrations in human cancers, transfection of human tumor DNA into rodent cells, DNA tumor viruses, and rare familial cancer syndromes (Bishop 19...
متن کاملThe Engine of Microtubule Dynamics Comes into Focus
In this issue, Alushin et al. report high-resolution structures of three states of the microtubule lattice: GTP-bound, which is stable to depolymerization; unstable GDP-bound; and stable Taxol and GDP-bound. By comparing these structures at near-atomic resolution, they are able to propose a detailed model for how GTP hydrolysis destabilizes the microtubule and thus powers dynamic instability an...
متن کاملInduction of secondary axis in hydra revisited: New insights into pattern formation
In 1909, several years before the famous `Organizer’ experiments of Spemann and Mangold, Ethel Browne demonstrated induction of a secondary axis in hydra by grafting a hypostome. Based on this and subsequent work, in the late sixties, Lewis Wolpert proposed the theory of morphogen gradients and positional information. We have studied secondary axis induction by hypostome and foot tissue using t...
