Bacteria make tracks to the pole.
L arge-scale polarity, an essential property of many cells, requires active mechanisms for both establishment and maintenance. In eukaryotic cells, parallel-oriented arrays of actin filaments and or microtubules frequently provide a structural framework for polarity. For example, actin cables mediate polar growth in yeast cell division, microtubules in neuronal axons determine the directionalit...
متن کاملEndosomes make tracks
arly endosomes may help to create their own short-range tracks, according to a report from Stéphane Gasman, Yannis Kalaidzidis, and Marino Zerial (Max Planck Institute, Dresden, Germany). The results also suggest parallels between membrane trafficking, signaling, and regulation of the cytoskeleton. Trafficking of early endosomes requires the small GTPase RhoD. Zerial’s group identified the firs...
متن کاملHow do bacteria localize proteins to the cell pole?
It is now well appreciated that bacterial cells are highly organized, which is far from the initial concept that they are merely bags of randomly distributed macromolecules and chemicals. Central to their spatial organization is the precise positioning of certain proteins in subcellular domains of the cell. In particular, the cell poles - the ends of rod-shaped cells - constitute important plat...
متن کاملDispose to the pole-protein aggregation control in bacteria.
The disaggregation and refolding of polypeptides aggregated in bacterial cells in response to environmental stress is crucial for the development of thermotolerance. Although the mechanistic aspects of the chaperone-dependent disaggregation reaction are known, the spatio-temporal organization of this process is less understood. In this issue, Winkler et al (2010) present the results of technica...
متن کاملEngineering Bacteria to Make “Unnatural” Natural Drugs
PLoS Biology | http://biology.plosjournals.org Of the 300 or so viruses that cause disease in humans, HIV may have the greatest adaptive advantage. Like most persistent viruses—including the herpesviruses Epstein–Barr and cytomegalovirus (CMV)—HIV employs various strategies to counteract its host’s response to infection. But HIV possesses a unique ability to sustain a progressive attack on the ...
