Dangerous liaisons
Cells during mitosis and meiosis undergo chromosome condensation through a process that depends on evolutionary conserved large protein complexes known as condensins. There are two condensing complexes, condensin i and ii, each of which is composed of five subunits. Condensin i and ii play essential, yet distinct, roles in chromosome condensation and segregation during mitosis. Recent findings ...
متن کاملDNA replication stress, genome instability and aging
Genome instability is a fundamentally important component of aging in all eukaryotes. How age-related genome instability occurs remains unclear. The free radical theory of aging posits oxidative damage to DNA and other cellular constituents as a primary determinant of aging. More recent versions of this theory predict that mitochondria are a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that ca...
متن کاملSmoking and asthma: dangerous liaisons.
Cigarette smoking and asthma interact to induce important adverse effects on clinical, prognostic and therapeutic outcomes. This review examines recent evidence on the harmful effects of smoking in asthma, possible underlying inflammatory mechanisms for this altered response, management options for these patients and potential future therapeutic directions. Active smokers, particularly females,...
متن کاملFerritin and metallothionein: dangerous liaisons.
Ferritin (Ft) interaction with the Zn-complexes of mammalian MT1, MT2 and MT3 metallothioneins (MT) leads to simultaneous Fe(II) and Zn(II) release.
متن کاملDNA damage response curtails detrimental replication stress and chromosomal instability induced by the dietary carcinogen PhIP
PhIP is an abundant heterocyclic aromatic amine (HCA) and important dietary carcinogen. Following metabolic activation, PhIP causes bulky DNA lesions at the C8-position of guanine. Although C8-PhIP-dG adducts are mutagenic, their interference with the DNA replication machinery and the elicited DNA damage response (DDR) have not yet been studied. Here, we analyzed PhIP-triggered replicative stre...
