Increased leaf size: different means to an end.
The final size of plant organs, such as leaves, is tightly controlled by environmental and genetic factors that must spatially and temporally coordinate cell expansion and cell cycle activity. However, this regulation of organ growth is still poorly understood. The aim of this study is to gain more insight into the genetic control of leaf size in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) by performing...
متن کاملMeans to an end
L ike some explorers, the bacterial protein PopZ is at home at the poles. Laloux and Jacobs-Wagner identify a novel mechanism that enables PopZ to collect at one pole as a bacterium prepares to divide (1). In a Caulobacter crescentus bacterium, PopZ accumulates at one end of the cell. Multiple PopZ molecules interweave, forming a mesh-like material that moors the bacterium’s DNA at that pole (2...
متن کاملTelomeric strategies: means to an end.
What really defines a telomere? Telomere literally is an amalgamation of the Greek words "telos," meaning end, and "mer," meaning part. In practice, it refers to the extremities of linear chromosomes. The defining functions of chromosome extremities can be summarized in two main categories. First, chromosome ends trick the cell into not identifying them as damage-induced double-strand DNA break...
متن کاملTelomeres: A New Means to an End
Gene duplication provides an important evolutionary mechanism for functional diversification. A new study in Drosophila indicates that gene duplication has allowed telomere protection to be partitioned between the soma and the specialized chromatin environment of sperm.
متن کاملDNA dynamics: Different means to a common end?
A ribosomal frameshift is required for the synthesis of an essential component of the yeast telomerase pathway; this and other findings on telomerases from many species raise interesting questions regarding the evolutionary relationship between telomerases and retrotransposons lacking long terminal repeats.
