Polyglutamylation: The GLU that Makes Microtubules Sticky
The beating of cilia and flagella depends on microtubule sliding generated by dynein motors, but the interaction of these motors with their tracks is still under investigation. New evidence suggests that some dynein motors will not function properly unless their track has been modified by a specific post-translational modification.
متن کاملAmphioxus makes the cut—Again
The cephalochordate amphioxus is now established as an important model system for understanding the evolution of vertebrate novelties from an invertebrate chordate ancestor. It is also emerging as a serious candidate for studies of organ regeneration. We extend here our previous observations on the European amphioxus´ extensive adult regenerative capacity. The expression of Wnt5 and the presenc...
متن کاملAxon Pruning: C. elegans Makes the Cut
Axon pruning has recently been described in the simple nervous system of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Generating excess processes and pruning may be a phylogenetically conserved feature reflecting a flexibility to modify neural circuits.
متن کاملSMX makes the cut in genome stability
The faithful duplication and preservation of our genetic material is essential for cell survival; however, DNA is susceptible to damage by extracellular and intracellular agents (e.g. ultraviolet radiation, reactive oxygen species). DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are thought to represent the most dangerous type of lesion, as the failure to repair a DSB can lead to loss of genetic information, ...
متن کاملA Versatile Sugar Transferase Makes the Cut
The nutrient sensor O-GlcNAc transferase modifies proteins with the O-GlcNAc moiety. In this issue, Capotosti et al. (2011) reveal that O-GlcNAc transferase not only glycosylates the cell-cycle regulator host cell factor 1 but activates it through proteolytic cleavage, providing a surprising link between metabolism and epigenetic regulation of the cell cycle.
