Growth during the cell cycle.
During the cell cycle, major bulk parameters such as volume, dry mass, total protein, and total RNA double and such growth is a fundamental property of the cell cycle. The patterns of growth in volume and total protein or RNA provide an "envelope" that contains and may restrict the gear wheels. The main parameters of cell cycle growth were established in the earlier work when people moved from ...
متن کاملAn Adaptor Hierarchy Regulates Proteolysis during a Bacterial Cell Cycle
Regulated protein degradation is essential. The timed destruction of crucial proteins by the ClpXP protease drives cell-cycle progression in the bacterium Caulobacter crescentus. Although ClpXP is active alone, additional factors are inexplicably required for cell-cycle-dependent proteolysis. Here, we show that these factors constitute an adaptor hierarchy wherein different substrates are destr...
متن کاملCell cycle: The bacterial approach to coordination
Despite the power of bacterial genetics, the prokaryotic cell cycle has remained poorly understood. But recent work with three different bacterial species has shed light on how chromosomes and plasmids are oriented and partitioned during the cell cycle, and on mechanisms regulating the initiation of DNA replication.
متن کاملCell cycle regulation by the bacterial nucleoid
Division site selection presents a fundamental challenge to all organisms. Bacterial cells are small and the chromosome (nucleoid) often fills most of the cell volume. Thus, in order to maximise fitness and avoid damaging the genetic material, cell division must be tightly co-ordinated with chromosome replication and segregation. To achieve this, bacteria employ a number of different mechanisms...
متن کاملBacterial Cell Cycle: Completing the Circuit
Recent advances in understanding bacterial cell-cycle regulation suggest circuit control mechanisms that operate analogously to those in the eukaryotic cell cycle.
