The cytoskeleton, elongation and the control of elongation.
The epidermis is often considered to be the growthlimiting cell layer in young, growing herbaceous plants (Niklas, 1992). In his classic work, Green (1980) elaborated this idea further for organ development, and attributed a crucial role to the orientation of cellulose fibrils as indicator of mechanical properties. A factual proof for a relation between the mean cellulose orientation and mechan...
متن کاملIdentification of novel inhibitors of bacterial translation elongation factors.
Bacterial elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) and EF-Ts are interacting proteins involved in polypeptide chain elongation in protein biosynthesis. A novel scintillation proximity assay for the detection of inhibitors of EF-Tu and EF-Ts, as well as the interaction between them, was developed and used in a high-throughput screen of a chemical library. Several compounds from a variety of chemical series ...
متن کاملPhosphorylation decelerates conformational dynamics in bacterial translation elongation factors
Bacterial protein synthesis is intricately connected to metabolic rate. One of the ways in which bacteria respond to environmental stress is through posttranslational modifications of translation factors. Translation elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) is methylated and phosphorylated in response to nutrient starvation upon entering stationary phase, and its phosphorylation is a crucial step in the pa...
متن کاملCompetition between trans-translation and termination or elongation of translation
The effects of tRNA, RF1 and RRF on trans-translation by tmRNA were examined using a stalled complex of ribosome prepared using a synthetic mRNA and pure Escherichia coli translation factors. No endoribonucleolytic cleavage of mRNA around the A site was found in the stalled ribosome and was required for the tmRNA action. When the A site was occupied by a stop codon, alanyl-tmRNA competed with R...
متن کاملElongation dynamics shape bursty transcription and translation.
Cells in isogenic populations may differ substantially in their molecular make up because of the stochastic nature of molecular processes. Stochastic bursts in process activity have a great potential for generating molecular noise. They are characterized by (short) periods of high process activity followed by (long) periods of process silence causing different cells to experience activity perio...
