Cooperate to separate

Two separate motifs cooperate to target stathmin-related proteins to the Golgi complex.

The appropriate targeting of membrane-associated proteins involves a diversity of motifs including post-translational modifications and specific protein sequences. Phosphoproteins of the stathmin family are important regulators of microtubule dynamics, in particular in the developing and mature nervous system. Whereas stathmin is cytosolic, SCG10, SCLIP and the splice variants RB3/RB3'/RB3'' ar...

To Cooperate or Not to Cooperate: Why Behavioural Mechanisms Matter

Mutualistic cooperation often requires multiple individuals to behave in a coordinated fashion. Hence, while the evolutionary stability of mutualistic cooperation poses no particular theoretical difficulty, its evolutionary emergence faces a chicken and egg problem: an individual cannot benefit from cooperating unless other individuals already do so. Here, we use evolutionary robotic simulation...

Spectrum Sensing: To Cooperate or Not to Cooperate?

While it is well accepted that cooperative spectrum sensing will significantly improve the sensing performance, the necessity of cooperation is not sufficiently appreciated. In this paper, by analyzing the spectrum sensing problem from the system perspective, we show that without cooperation, the performance will suffer from a fundamental tradeoff between reliability and efficiency. However, if...
