Passing along polarity
ly ovarioles spit out oocyte-containing cysts “like a sausage machine,” says Daniel St. Johnston. In the process, the cysts are endowed with a clearly defined anterior-posterior polarity axis based on the posterior positioning of the oocyte. “The [axis] is hardwired into the geometry of the ovary,” says St. Johnston. “What we’re describing is the mechanism that transmits this.” That mechanism i...
متن کاملLocal directional cues control growth polarity of dopaminergic axons along the rostrocaudal axis.
The vertebrate CNS is composed of a variety of longitudinal axonal tracts extending rostrally and caudally. Although recent studies have demonstrated that chemoattraction and chemorepulsion play key roles in axon guidance along the circumferential axis in the neural tube of the vertebrate, mechanisms of axonal elongation along the longitudinal axis, and most importantly, what determines rostroc...
متن کاملContrast magnitude and polarity effects on color filling-in along cardinal color axes.
Color filling-in is the phenomenon in which the color of a visual area is perceived as the color that is only presented in an adjacent area. In a stimulus with multiple edges, color filling-in can occur along any edge and in both centripetal and centrifugal directions when maintaining steady fixation. The current study aimed to investigate the role of chromatic contrast magnitude and polarity a...
متن کاملThe RNA-binding protein Rrm4 is essential for polarity in Ustilago maydis and shuttles along microtubules.
Formation of polar-growing hyphae is essential for infection by the plant pathogen Ustilago maydis. Here we observe that loss of RNA-recognition motif protein Rrm4 caused formation of abnormal hyphae. The insertion of septa at the distal pole was abolished and a significantly increased number of hyphae grew bipolarly. UV-crosslinking experiments revealed that Rrm4 bound RNA via its N-terminal R...
متن کامل250-GHz electron spin resonance studies of polarity gradients along the aliphatic chains in phospholipid membranes.
Rigid-limit 250-GHz electron spin resonance (FIR-ESR) spectra have been studied for a series of phosphatidylcholine spin labels (n-PC, where n = 5, 7, 10, 12, 16) in pure lipid dispersions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC), as well as dispersions of DPPC containing the peptide gramicidin A (GA) in a 1:1 molar ratio. The enhanced g-tensor...
