Control of Translation: Comparative Genomics and Mechanistic Aspects
A major challenge in comparative genomics is to understand how phenotypic differences between species are encoded in their genomes. Phenotypic divergence may result from differential transcription of orthologous genes, yet less is known about the involvement of differential translation regulation in species phenotypic divergence. In order to assess translation effects on divergence, we analyzed...
متن کاملFunctional interaction of mammalian target of rapamycin complexes in regulating mammalian cell size and cell cycle
Dysregulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase pathway is centrally involved in a wide variety of cancers and human genetic diseases. In mammalian cells, mTOR is part of two different kinase complexes: mTORC1 composed of mTOR, raptor and mLST8, and mTORC2 containing mTOR, rictor, sin1 and mLST8. Whereas, mTORC1 is known to be a pivotal regulator of cell size and cell cycle con...
متن کاملCell-Size Control.
Cells of a given type maintain a characteristic cell size to function efficiently in their ecological or organismal context. They achieve this through the regulation of growth rates or by actively sensing size and coupling this signal to cell division. We focus this review on potential size-sensing mechanisms, including geometric, external cue, and titration mechanisms. Mechanisms that titrate ...
متن کاملCell-size control
Cells usually grow to a proper size before they divide. To ensure an optimal size for cell survival and function, it is crucial that cells develop efficient and sensitive mechanisms for cell-size control. in 2009, 2 independent studies proposed that the DyRK-family kinase Pom1 could serve as a cell-length sensor to negatively regulate mitotic entry through sAD-like kinase Cdr2 in fission yeast....
متن کاملCell Growth: Control of Cell Size
SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY—THE DYNAMIC MODIFICATION of functional synaptic strength between neurons of the central nervous system—is generally believed to be a physical mechanism underlying learning and memory.An individual neuron in the mammalian CNS may contain up to 10,000 synaptic connections. Furthermore, small groups of synapses can be independently regulated: Synaptic enhancement induced at one...
