How mitosis keeps itself in order
How mitosis keeps itself in order C ells progress through mitosis by switching protein activities on and off in a clearly defi ned order. The ubiquitin ligase APC/C deactivates mitotic proteins by targeting them for degradation by the proteasome. The APC/C is activated by two different subunits that recognize short sequence motifs, known as D and KEN boxes, in the target proteins. In early mito...
متن کاملHow a brain keeps its cool
Temperature-sensing neurons in the Drosophila brain cooperate with the central circadian clock to help regulate body temperature.
متن کاملVisuomotor Adaptation: How Forgetting Keeps Us Conservative
Even when provided with feedback after every movement, adaptation levels off before biases are completely removed. Incomplete adaptation has recently been attributed to forgetting: the adaptation is already partially forgotten by the time the next movement is made. Here we test whether this idea is correct. If so, the final level of adaptation is determined by a balance between learning and for...
متن کاملHow the brain keeps the eyes still.
The brain can hold the eyes still because it stores a memory of eye position. The brain's memory of horizontal eye position appears to be represented by persistent neural activity in a network known as the neural integrator, which is localized in the brainstem and cerebellum. Existing experimental data are reinterpreted as evidence for an "attractor hypothesis" that the persistent patterns of a...
متن کاملHow the spindle keeps its focus
During mitosis, the Drosophila protein Asp binds and focuses microtubule minus ends at the spindle poles, and maintains their attachment to the centrosomes. Two groups of researchers now provide insights into how the protein achieves these functions (1, 2). asp was one of the fi rst genes to be iden-tifi ed as being required for correct assembly of the Drosophila mitotic spindle (3), and mutati...
