Coordinating cell polarity with cell division in space and time.
Decisions of when and where to divide are crucial for cell survival and fate, and for tissue organization and homeostasis. The temporal coordination of mitotic events during cell division is essential to ensure that each daughter cell receives one copy of the genome. The spatial coordination of these events is also crucial because the cytokinetic furrow must be aligned with the axis of chromoso...
متن کاملEmbryogenesis: Coordinating Cell Division with Gastrulation
Embryogenesis requires the production of sufficient cells, the correct placement of these cells within the embryo and the assignment to them of appropriate identities. Complications arise because cell division and cell migration seem incompatible. Mitosis requires the assembly and disassembly of a complex microtubule network to ensure faithful DNA segregation, and cytokinesis requires remodelin...
متن کاملCell division in Micrococcus pyogenes var. aureus.
Recent progress in bacterial cytology has left no doubt as to the existence of a discrete nuclear body in bacterial cells. Numerous publications have appeared describing the appearance of apparent nuclear bodies in coccus forms, and descriptions of the activity of these bodies have been meticulously recorded. The literature on the nuclei of the cocci has been covered aptly by DeLamater and Wood...
متن کاملAtomic force microscopy of cell growth and division in Staphylococcus aureus.
The growth and division of Staphylococcus aureus was monitored by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and thin-section transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A good correlation of the structural events of division was found using the two microscopies, and AFM was able to provide new additional information. AFM was performed under water, ensuring that all structures were in the hydrated condition. Se...
متن کاملMolecular coordination of Staphylococcus aureus cell division
The bacterial cell wall is essential for viability, but despite its ability to withstand internal turgor must remain dynamic to permit growth and division. Peptidoglycan is the major cell wall structural polymer, whose synthesis requires multiple interacting components. The human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus is a prolate spheroid that divides in three orthogonal planes. Here, we have integrat...
