Lice, Humans, and Microbes
Lice are small, wingless, minor ectoparasites of mammals and birds. More than 540 blood-sucking lice (Phthiraptera: Anoplura) have been described with each host having its own type of louse, suggesting the cospeciation of the lice species with their host. Among these, two lice species from two different genera infest humans: Pediculus humanus and Phthirus pubis (pubic “crab” l...
متن کاملSynthetic biology of microbes synthesizing polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)
Microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) have been produced as bioplastics for various purposes. Under the support of China National Basic Research 973 Project, we developed synthetic biology methods to diversify the PHA structures into homo-, random, block polymers with improved properties to better meet various application requirements. At the same time, various pathways were assembled to produc...
متن کاملMembrane biology: Membrane-regulated transcription
The activation of membrane-bound transcription factors involves release from the membrane by proteolysis. Recent studies show that, for some proteins, cleavage is performed by the proteasome, whereas others require specific proteases.
متن کاملThe biology of habitat dominance; can microbes behave as weeds?
Competition between microbial species is a product of, yet can lead to a reduction in, the microbial diversity of specific habitats. Microbial habitats can resemble ecological battlefields where microbial cells struggle to dominate and/or annihilate each other and we explore the hypothesis that (like plant weeds) some microbes are genetically hard-wired to behave in a vigorous and ecologically ...
متن کاملMolecular Membrane Biology
GABAA receptors are the major inhibitory transmitter receptors in the central nervous system. They are chloride ion channels that can be opened by g-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and are the targets of action of a variety of pharmacologically and clinically important drugs. GABAA receptors are composed of five subunits that can belong to different subunit classes. The existence of 19 different subun...
