Molecular scissors under light control.
L ight plays a key role in the living world. It serves as a source of energy through photosynthesis, makes sight possible, and regulates circadian rhythms. During evolution, organisms from bacteria to higher mammals elaborate various mechanisms to sense and respond to light, which manipulates their behavior. The use of light as a trigger is particularly attractive as a means of controlling biol...
متن کاملCorrelative light and electron microscopic exploration of endocytic organelles
Explorations of endocytic pathways teach us about subcellular routes travelled by pathogenic agents, such as viruses and toxins, and used for targeting of drugs into the interior of cells. In this compendium we show a correlative microscopic approach that uses the photooxidation capacity of fluorescent dyes to oxidize the substrate diaminobenzidine which after osmification is visible in the ele...
متن کاملOptogenetics: Control of Brain Using Light
Neuronal cells communicate with each other by producing electrical signals or action potentials (APs). Different ion channels, including Na+, K+ and Ca2+ channels, are involved in generation of AP. Once an AP is generated in the soma, it travels down entire the axon length toward its terminal in a self-generating fashion that ultimately conveys information between neurons in the neural circuit....
متن کاملAequorin-expressing yeast emits light under electric control.
In this study, we show the use of direct external electrical stimulation of a jellyfish luminescent calcium-activated protein, aequorin, expressed in a transgenic yeast strain. Yeast cultures were electrically stimulated through two electrodes coupled to a standard power generator. Even low (1.5 V) electric pulses triggered a rapid light peak and serial light pulses were obtained after electric...
متن کاملLight from down under.
Coral-algae symbiosis is a key feature of tropical corals and is highly dependent on the efficiency with which solar energy is attenuated by the coral. Scleractinian corals are among the most efficient light collectors in nature because of the modulation of the internal light field in the coral skeleton. Interestingly, coral skeleton particles composing the sandy bottoms in reef margins sustain...
