Evolution: A Bacterially Mediated Swap Meet for Adaptive Traits
نویسنده
چکیده
New research suggests that secondary bacterial symbionts in insects act as a mechanism for horizontal genetic exchange among hosts, facilitating adaptation to new ecological niches.

Direct binding of SWAP-70 to non-muscle actin is required for membrane ruffling.
Membrane ruffling induced by growth factor stimulation is caused by actin remodeling, which is mediated by various signaling molecules including Rac. We have shown that SWAP-70, which binds phosphatidylinositol trisphosphate, is one such molecule required for membrane ruffling in mouse kidney cells. Here, we show that SWAP-70 directly binds to F-actin. The bacterially expressed C-terminal regio...
متن کاملDeveloping Self-adaptive Melody Search Algorithm for Optimal Operation of Multi-reservoir Systems
Operation of multi-reservoir systems is known as complicated and often large-scale optimization problems. The problems, because of broad search space, nonlinear relationships, correlation of several variables, as well as problem uncertainty, are difficult requiring powerful algorithms with specific capabilities to be solved. In the present study a Self-adaptive version of Melody Search algorith...
متن کاملHormone-mediated suites as adaptations and evolutionary constraints.
Hormones mediate the expression of suites of correlated traits and hence may act both to facilitate and constrain adaptive evolution. Selection on one trait within a hormone-mediated suite may, for example, lead to a change in the strength of the hormone signal, causing either beneficial or detrimental changes in correlated traits. Theory and empirical methods for studying correlated trait evol...
متن کاملMediatory role of perceived parenting style in relationship between motivational structure and personality traits of adolescents
Background & Aim: Personality traits and motivational structure are important and influential factors in adolescent decision making. In this regard, the adolescent's perception of parenting style has an important role in his/her orientations. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of perception of parenting style in relationship between motivational structure and personality trai...
متن کاملOn Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...
