Lipid Biology of Archaea
Today, there is increasing awareness of the multiple dynamic roles of lipids in cell life. Knowing how lipid molecular species are organized, interact with proteins, and change with environmental stress and metabolic state is crucial to understanding the membrane structure and the cellular functions. The present view of lipid biology arises from the availability of technologies able to detect e...
متن کاملMolecular biology of Hel308 helicase in archaea.
Hel308 is an SF2 (superfamily 2) helicase with clear homologues in metazoans and archaea, but not in fungi or bacteria. Evidence from biochemistry and genetics implicates Hel308 in remodelling compromised replication forks. In the last 4 years, significant advances have been made in understanding the biochemistry of archaeal Hel308, most recently through atomic structures from cren- and eury-ar...
متن کاملArchaea
A headline on the front page of the New York Times for November 3, 1977, read "Scientists Discover a Way of Life That Predates Higher Organisms". The accompanying article described a spectacular claim by Carl Woese and George Fox to have discovered a third form of life, a new 'domain' that we now call Archaea. It's not that these microbes were unknown before, nor was it the case that their pecu...
متن کاملNonlinear vibrational microscopy applied to lipid biology.
Optical microscopy is an indispensable tool that is driving progress in cell biology. It still is the only practical means of obtaining spatial and temporal resolution within living cells and tissues. Most prominently, fluorescence microscopy based on dye-labeling or protein fusions with fluorescent tags is a highly sensitive and specific method of visualizing biomolecules within sub-cellular s...
متن کاملLipid Rafts in Mast Cell Biology
Mast cells have long been recognized to have a direct and critical role in allergic and inflammatory reactions. In allergic diseases, these cells exert both local and systemic responses, including allergic rhinitis and anaphylaxis. Mast cell mediators are also related to many chronic inflammatory conditions. Besides the roles in pathological conditions, the biological functions of mast cells in...
