Lipids as conductors in the orchestra of life
The lipid phosphatidic acid is an important metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of lipids in all eukaryotic cells, but it is even more than that. Phosphatidic acid is emerging as a lipid that is both composer and conductor, where in addition to its role as biosynthetic precursor (composer) it is also a potent signaling molecule (conductor) that integrates membrane biogenesis with nutrien...
متن کاملThe KMN protein network--chief conductors of the kinetochore orchestra.
Successful completion of mitosis requires that sister kinetochores become attached end-on to the plus ends of spindle microtubules (MTs) in prometaphase, thereby forming kinetochore microtubules (kMTs) that tether one sister to one spindle pole and the other sister to the opposite pole. Sites for kMT attachment provide at least four key functions: robust and dynamic kMT anchorage; force generat...

Handling Editor: John Antonakis that perceivers could accurately discern conductors' success from brief video clips and that perResearch has suggested that people can extract information relevant to leadership from thin slices of behavior. Nearly all of this research has been conducted in the context of large organizations where the relationships between leaders and followers are relatively ind...
متن کاملPolysaccharide co-polymerases: the enigmatic conductors of the O-antigen assembly orchestra.
The O-antigen lipopolysaccharides on bacterial surface contain variable number of oligosaccharide repeat units with their length having a modal distribution specific to the bacterial strain. The polysaccharide length distribution is controlled by the proteins called polysaccharide co-polymerases (PCPs), which are embedded in the inner membrane in Gram-negative bacteria and form homo oligomers. ...
متن کاملDendritic cells: directors of the immune system orchestra
irst observed in 1868 as Langerhans’ cells of the epidermis and then brought to attention again 25 years ago by Steinman and colleagues, dendritic cells (DC) remained enigmatic due to their scarcity and difficulties in isolation. Owing to the development of methods allowing in vitro DC generation, a wealth of information regarding their biology recently has been accumulated. Dendritic cells are...
