MuB gives a new twist to target DNA selection
Transposition target immunity is a phenomenon observed in some DNA transposons that are able to distinguish the host chromosome from their own DNA sequence, thus avoiding self-destructive insertions. The first molecular insight into target selection and immunity mechanisms came from the study of phage Mu transposition, which uses the protein MuB as a barrier to self-insertion. MuB is an ATP-dep...
متن کاملA surprising Twist to cell dissemination
M oyle et al. de-s c r i b e h ow the C. elegans BUB-1 kinase helps recruit the spindle checkpoint proteins MAD-1 and MAD-2 to unattached kinetochores. During mitosis, the MAD-1–MAD-2 complex binds to kinetochores that haven't attached to the spindle and generates a signal that prevents cells from entering anaphase until the correct attachments are formed. Several kinetochore proteins are requi...
متن کاملCell contact-induced inhibition of division in Dictyostelium.
The developmental stage at which Dictyostelium discoideum strain v12/M2 cells was inhibited in resuming cell division was monitored by a Coulter counter. Neither vegetative nor pre-aggregating v12/M2 amoebae used as inocula in liquid growth cultures exhibited a delay in recommencing cell division. Inocula prepared from aggregates were delayed for 3 h before the onset of division. Although cycli...
متن کامل"Contact inhibition" of cell division in 3T3 cells.
The 3T3 cell, an established line of mouse fibroblast cell, has been considered to be extremely sensitive to "contact inhibition" of cell division. Under the usual culture conditions, 3T3 cells grow rapidly in sparse culture, but cell division stops after the cells become confluent, at approximately 106 cells per 6-cm dish. The cell monolayer has a typical "cobblestone" appearance. Todaro, Laza...
