Spatial complexity of mechanisms controlling a bacterial cell cycle.
Cell cycle progression in Caulobacter is governed by a multilayered regulatory network linking chromosome replication with polar morphogenesis and cell division. Temporal and spatial regulation have emerged as the central themes, with the abundance, activity and subcellular location of key structural and regulatory proteins changing over the course of the cell cycle. An additional layer of comp...
متن کاملA Cell Cycle and Nutritional Checkpoint Controlling Bacterial Surface Adhesion
In natural environments, bacteria often adhere to surfaces where they form complex multicellular communities. Surface adherence is determined by the biochemical composition of the cell envelope. We describe a novel regulatory mechanism by which the bacterium, Caulobacter crescentus, integrates cell cycle and nutritional signals to control development of an adhesive envelope structure known as t...
متن کاملTranscriptional Networks Controlling the Cell Cycle
In this work, we map the transcriptional targets of 107 previously identified Drosophila genes whose loss caused the strongest cell-cycle phenotypes in a genome-wide RNA interference screen and mine the resulting data computationally. Besides confirming existing knowledge, the analysis revealed several regulatory systems, among which were two highly-specific and interconnected feedback circuits...
متن کاملCell cycle: The bacterial approach to coordination
Despite the power of bacterial genetics, the prokaryotic cell cycle has remained poorly understood. But recent work with three different bacterial species has shed light on how chromosomes and plasmids are oriented and partitioned during the cell cycle, and on mechanisms regulating the initiation of DNA replication.
متن کاملCell cycle regulation by the bacterial nucleoid
Division site selection presents a fundamental challenge to all organisms. Bacterial cells are small and the chromosome (nucleoid) often fills most of the cell volume. Thus, in order to maximise fitness and avoid damaging the genetic material, cell division must be tightly co-ordinated with chromosome replication and segregation. To achieve this, bacteria employ a number of different mechanisms...
