Plant autophagy puts the brakes on cell death by controlling salicylic acid signaling.
It has long been recognized that autophagy in plants is important for nutrient recycling and plays a critical role in the ability of plants to adapt to environmental extremes such as nutrient deprivation. Recent reverse genetic studies, however, hint at other roles for autophagy, showing that autophagy defects in higher plants result in early senescence and excessive immunity-related programmed...
متن کاملControlling the cellular uptake of gold nanorods.
Gold nanorods coated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic micellar surfactant used in nanorod synthesis, were rapidly and irreversibly internalized by KB cells via a nonspecific uptake mechanism. Internalized nanorods near the cell surface were monitored by two-photon luminescence (TPL) microscopy and observed to migrate toward the nucleus with a quadratic rate of diffusion. T...
متن کاملTaking the brakes off?
In this issue of Blood, MacQarrie and colleagues show that histidine-rich glycoprotein (a negative acute-phase reactant), inhibits activated factor XII, a clotting protein implicated in inflammation and thrombosis.1 O f the 2 mechanisms for triggering blood clotting, only the tissue factor pathway is essential for normal hemostasis. The other— the contact pathway—appears to have no hemostatic r...
متن کاملPassengers operate the brakes
Passengers operate the brakes M embers of the chromosome passenger complex (CPC) regulate kinesin motors to control how fast the mitotic spindle elongates , Rozelle et al. report. The CPC consists of the mitotic kinase Aurora B and its associated regulatory proteins. The complex localizes to kinetochores at the beginning of mitosis and regulates their attachment to the mitotic spindle. The CPC ...
متن کاملTaking the brakes off telomerase
Studies using human embryonic stem cells have revealed how common cancer-associated mutations exert their effect on telomerase after cells differentiate into more specialized cell types.
