Cell Division, Macromolecular Synthesis

Analytical model for macromolecular partitioning during yeast cell division

BACKGROUND Asymmetric cell division, whereby a parent cell generates two sibling cells with unequal content and thereby distinct fates, is central to cell differentiation, organism development and ageing. Unequal partitioning of the macromolecular content of the parent cell - which includes proteins, DNA, RNA, large proteinaceous assemblies and organelles - can be achieved by both passive (e.g....

Control of Macromolecular Synthesis

It is indeed a privilege to read the life's work of an extremely competent investigator. This is the case with respect to Max Lurie's work, Resistance to Tuberculosis. The book is written in a most logical, clear and concise fashion. Each series of experiments follows one another as carefully planned building blocks to a most logical conclusion. It is difficult to "put this book down" as the re...

Macromolecular Synthesis during Plant Embryogeny

Substantial changes occur in the rates of RNA synthesis during development of the embryo of Phaseolus at times when there are major shifts in histodifferentiation (16). However, the number of cells in the embryo is also increasing throughout development, and changes in overall rates of
