Myosin V and Kinesin act as tethers to enhance each others' processivity.
Organelle transport to the periphery of the cell involves coordinated transport between the processive motors kinesin and myosin V. Long-range transport takes place on microtubule tracks, whereas final delivery involves shorter actin-based movements. The concept that motors only function on their appropriate track required further investigation with the recent observation that myosin V undergoe...
متن کاملDrug susceptibility testing using molecular techniques can enhance tuberculosis diagnosis.
BACKGROUND Sputum samples were collected from tuberculosis patients in a high tuberculosis incidence area in the Western Cape, South Africa. The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance and time to diagnosis of a genotypic drug susceptibility testing method. METHODOLOGY During June 2000 and November 2003, a total of 1,540 samples were sent for drug susceptibility testing (DST) to the...
متن کاملMetabolic engineering to enhance bacterial hydrogen production
Hydrogen fuel is renewable, efficient and clean, and fermentative bacteria hold great promise for its generation. Here we use the isogenic Escherichia coli K-12 KEIO library to rapidly construct multiple, precise deletions in the E. coli genome to direct the metabolic flux towards hydrogen production. Escherichia coli has three active hydrogenases, and the genes involved in the regulation of th...
متن کاملEngineering to Enhance STEM Integration Efforts
Currently, there is a movement in K-12 education to include engineering academic standards in the science curriculum. The Next Generation Science Standards, which include engineering design learning ideas, are starting to be adopted by states. This research project builds on the STEM Integration research paradigm, defined as the merging of the disciplines of STEM. There are two main types of ST...
متن کاملGenetic engineering to enhance mercury phytoremediation.
Most phytoremediation studies utilize merA or merB genes to modify plants via the nuclear or chloroplast genome, expressing organomercurial lyase and/or mercuric ion reductase in the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum or within plastids. Several plant species including Arabidopsis, tobacco, poplar, rice, Eastern cottonwood, peanut, salt marsh grass and Chlorella have been transformed with these g...
