DisA, a Busy Bee That Monitors Chromosome Integrity
When nutrients are limited many prokaryotic and some eukaryotic cells tuck their chromosomes safely away in resistant spores. However, before starting the sporulation process, the prokaryote Bacillus subtilis wisely ensures that its chromosome is intact. In this issue of Cell, Bejerano-Sagie et al. (2006) describe a protein, DisA, that is responsible for the surveillance of chromosome integrity...
متن کاملRecipe for a Busy Bee: MicroRNAs in Honey Bee Caste Determination
Social caste determination in the honey bee is assumed to be determined by the dietary status of the young larvae and translated into physiological and epigenetic changes through nutrient-sensing pathways. We have employed Illumina/Solexa sequencing to examine the small RNA content in the bee larval food, and show that worker jelly is enriched in miRNA complexity and abundance relative to royal...
متن کاملHow doth the little busy bee: unexpected metabolism.
Brain energy metabolism powers information processing and behavior, much as electricity powers a computer. However, a recent study in insects suggests that this relationship is more interesting, causally linking aggressive behavior to energetics. These findings may also shed new light on aerobic glycolysis, a long-standing riddle of human brain physiology.
متن کامل[Chromosome abnormalities caused by computer video display monitors' radiation].
OBJECTIVE Concerns were raised about the potential damaging effects of electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation emissions of ELF (extremely low frequency) and VLF (very low frequency) computer video display monitors (VDM), it was assessed the frequency of structural chromosome abnormalities and investigated the cell cycle kinetics in individuals occupationally exposed to VDM radiation. METHODS C...
متن کاملStudies of haspin-depleted cells reveal that spindle-pole integrity in mitosis requires chromosome cohesion.
Cohesins and their regulators are vital for normal chromosome cohesion and segregation. A number of cohesion proteins have also been localized to centrosomes and proposed to function there. We show that RNAi-mediated depletion of factors required for cohesion, including haspin, Sgo1 and Scc1, leads to the generation of multiple acentriolar centrosome-like foci and disruption of spindle structur...
