How does auxin turn on genes?
The plant hormone auxin (or IAA) plays a key role in a wide variety of growth and developmental processes. At the cellular level, auxin acts as a signal for division, extension, and differentiation during the course of the plant life cycle. At the whole-plant level, auxin plays an important role in root formation, apical dominance, tropism, and senescence. The question is how does such a simple...
متن کاملMolecular chaperones: How J domains turn on Hsp70s
Molecular chaperones of the heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70) variety facilitate protein folding and assembly. They are assisted in this role by their Hsp40 partners, and recent studies have shed new light on how the 'J domains' of these 'cochaperones' activate substrate binding by Hsp70 molecules.
متن کاملHow Bacteria Turn Fiber into Food
Most people think of fiber as being the part of our food we can’t digest—but with the help of symbiotic bacteria in our guts, we can actually get some nutrition from the complex carbohydrates such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin that make up plants’ cell walls. The bacteria produce an arsenal of enzymes that break down these carbs into simple sugars, which are then in turn fermented to ...
متن کاملHow Did Dinosaur Bones Turn Into Fossils?
If fossilization was simply replacement of bone with stone, fossil and living bones wouldn't be as chemically similar as they are, and the intricate details found in fossilized dinosaur bones would not have survived [1]. Even more intriguing is the fact that some of the proteins in bone have survived the fossilization process, in dinosaurs and "older" fossils [2], a fact very consistent with a ...
متن کاملSonoluminescence: How Bubbles Turn Sound into Light
Sonoluminescence, the transduction of sound into light, is a phenomenon that pushes fluid mechanics beyond its limit. An initial state with long wavelength and low Mach number, such as is realized for a gas bubble driven by an audible sound field, spontaneously focuses the energy density so as to generate supersonic motion and a different phase of matter, from which are then emitted picosecond ...
