Somites without a clock.
The formation of body segments (somites) in vertebrate embryos is accompanied by molecular oscillations (segmentation clock). Interaction of this oscillator with a wave traveling along the body axis (the clock-and-wavefront model) is generally believed to control somite number, size, and axial identity. Here we show that a clock-and-wavefront mechanism is unnecessary for somite formation. Non-s...
متن کاملKeeping Time without a Clock
The accepted dogma in circadian biology is that the transcription factor CLOCK lies at the heart of the molecular clock that drives behavioral and molecular rhythms. In this issue of Neuron, the generation of CLOCK-deficient mice with only subtle clock defects by DeBruyne et al. shakes up this view of the mammalian clock.
متن کاملNotch signaling, the segmentation clock, and the patterning of vertebrate somites
The Notch signaling pathway has multifarious functions in the organization of the developing vertebrate embryo. One of its most fundamental roles is in the emergence of the regular pattern of somites that will give rise to the musculoskeletal structures of the trunk. The parts it plays in the early operation of the segmentation clock and the later definition and differentiation of the somites a...
متن کاملAuthenticated Agreement Protocols without Explicit Clock Synchronisation
Replicated processing requires that replicas reach agreement on the order in which messages are to be processed. Synchronous and deterministic agreement protocols published in the literature require replicas to maintain an abstraction of clocks that are kept in bounded synchronism. We present a protocol that does not have this requirement and relies only on physical, hardware clocks with bounde...
متن کاملA circadian clock nanomachine that runs without transcription or translation.
The biochemical basis of circadian timekeeping is best characterized in cyanobacteria. The structures of its key molecular players, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC are known and these proteins can reconstitute a remarkable circadian oscillation in a test tube. KaiC is rhythmically phosphorylated and its phospho-status is a marker of circadian phase that regulates ATPase activity and the oscillating assemb...
