Commentary: Smoke pulls the blinds.
In this issue, Pokhrel et al. publish an intriguing study from the Nepal–India border region that calls our attention to both what it shows and what it hides.1 This case–control study suggests an almost 2-fold risk for cataract related blindness among women using solid fuel unvented stoves. This risk gradient is similar to the one described between smokers and non-smokers.2,3 As in many economi...
متن کاملProtein translocation pulls the plug
Protein translocation pulls the plug embrane-bound compartments present an immediate problem: proteins need to get into and across those membranes. Now, we have the first picture of how that process works, thanks to the structure determined and colleagues. They find that a single SecY complex from Methanococcus jannaschii forms an hourglass-shaped pore with a basal plug that probably swings out...
متن کاملPhysically Controlling Virtual Blinds
People increasingly need to work collaboratively across a distance. Although telecommunication technologies offer sophisticated audioand video support, signaling awareness of the remote parties’ availability in a videoconferencing environment is still not uniformly agreed upon. The opening and closing of blinds in a collocated office environment however sends a strong signal about privacy, avai...
متن کاملEndocytosis pulls Notch apart
N otch's neighbors are tearing it apart. On page 445, Nichols et al. show that endocytosis of a ligand on one cell pulls apart its Notch receptor on an adjacent cell, leaving behind an activation-susceptible receptor remnant. Dormant Notch on the cell surface must be cleaved into a free intra-cellular domain that can travel to the nucleus to activate gene expression. Three proteases are known t...
متن کاملMembrane cytoskeleton: PIP2 pulls the strings
A recent application of optical tweezers has shown that plasma membrane phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP(2)) levels control adhesion of the membrane bilayer to the underlying cytoskeleton, by regulated direct binding of PIP(2) to cytoskeletal proteins and/or indirect effects on cytoskeleton structure.
