Centromere Clustering: Where Synapsis Begins
Centromeres congregate into a large cluster called the chromocenter during Drosophila oogenesis. Two recent studies now define a function and a genetic basis for this remarkable structure.
متن کاملEgg activation at fertilization: where it all begins.
A centrally important factor in initiating egg activation at fertilization is a rise in free Ca(2+) in the egg cytosol. In echinoderm, ascidian, and vertebrate eggs, the Ca(2+) rise occurs as a result of inositol trisphosphate-mediated release of Ca(2+) from the endoplasmic reticulum. The release of Ca(2+) at fertilization in echinoderm and ascidian eggs requires SH2 domain-mediated activation ...
متن کاملCsi1 links centromeres to the nuclear envelope for centromere clustering
In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the centromeres of each chromosome are clustered together and attached to the nuclear envelope near the site of the spindle pole body during interphase. The mechanism and functional importance of this arrangement of chromosomes are poorly understood. In this paper, we identified a novel nuclear protein, Csi1, that localized to the site of centrome...
متن کاملTumor Antigen Cross-Presentation and the Dendritic Cell: Where it All Begins?
Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that are critical for the generation of effective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses; however, their function and phenotype are often defective or altered in tumor-bearing hosts, which may limit their capacity to mount an effective tumor-specific CTL response. In particular, the manner in which exogenous tumor antigens a...
متن کاملWhere the philosopher finishes, the physician begins: medicine and the arts course in thirteenth-century Oxford.
In the thirteenth century the English universities were different from others, particularly those in the south of Europe, in two important ways: they taught more natural philosophy and less medicine. But the survival of students' notes from the second half of the century shows that in the formal course of lectures on natural philosophy attention was paid to medicine inside the arts course. The ...
