Sticky bacteriophage protect animal cells.
For decades, biologists have discussed and experimented with bacterial viruses, called phage, as a means of treating bacterial infections (1, 2). Remarkably, our own evolution may have beaten us to it. In PNAS, Barr et al. present a compelling and unique hypothesis that animal cells use phage as weapons against bacterial pathogens (3). Animal cells ranging from cnidarian (coral) to human excret...
متن کاملBrochosomes protect leafhoppers (Insecta, Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) from sticky exudates.
Leafhoppers (Insecta, Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) actively coat their integuments with buckyball-shaped submicron proteinaceous secretory particles, called brochosomes. Here, we demonstrate that brochosomal coats, recently shown to be superhydrophobic, act as non-stick coatings and protect leafhoppers from contamination with their own sticky exudates--filtered plant sap. We exposed 137 wings of Al...

In This Issue In This Issue TRAP builds a better translocon or over a decade, mechanistic studies of protein translocation into the mammalian ER have relied on proteoliposomes with translocons reconstituted from purified components, a system that efficiently translocates simple model proteins like prolactin, but often fails to match in vivo translo-cation efficiency for other substrates. On pag...

متن کاملSticky Demand vs. Sticky Prices
Sticky demand – sticky nominal spending – acts as a substitute for sticky prices. In an inventorytheoretic model of the demand for money, monetary injections are offset by endogenous movements in velocity that keep nominal spending flat. When embedded in a sticky price model, this reduces the model’s reliance on implausibly large amounts of exogenous stickiness. For example: 6 months asset mark...
