How HIV finds the door.
T he plasma membrane (PM) is a physical barrier that must be breached when pathogens like HIV enter and exit cells. In most cell types, HIV egress begins when the structural Gag protein binds and assembles on the inner leaflet of the PM (Fig. 1). Gag assembly distends the membrane into a spherical virion that is released by a membrane fission reaction catalyzed by the cellular endosomal sorting...
متن کاملHow neurogenesis finds its place in a hardwired sensory system
So far most studies on adult neurogenesis aimed to unravel mechanisms and molecules regulating the integration of newly generated neurons in the mature brain parenchyma. The exceedingly abundant amount of results that followed, rather than being beneficial in the perspective of brain repair, provided a clear evidence that adult neurogenesis constitutes a necessary feature to the correct functio...
متن کاملHomologous Recombination: How RecA Finds the Perfect Partner
How do two identical DNA sequences find each other during homologous recombination, amidst a 'sea' of unrelated DNA? New studies reveal how RecA promotes the search for homology by sampling DNA in three dimensions.
متن کاملDNA Repair: How MutM Finds the Needle in a Haystack
High-resolution crystal structures of DNA complexes with the bacterial MutM protein show how the enzyme feels its way around the double helix in search of an oxidized guanine before flipping it out into its active site and excising it.
متن کاملMicroRNA Targets - How to predict?
A number of web tools are available for the prediction and identification of target microRNAs (miRNAs). The choice, availability, validity and selection of an optimal yet appropriate tool are a challenge for the design of high throughput assays with promising miRNA targets. The current trends and challenges for target microRNAs (miRNAs) prediction, identification and selection is described in t...
