Mitochondrial Morphology
single-peaked, tuned receptor. After allowing for the above errors, I interpret Hillman's response as a claim that my hierarchical ordering of the tuned receptor as one part of traditional color theory was inappropriate and misleading. Indeed, Hillman says that: "The essence of the PalmerYoung paradigm . . . has nothing to do [italics mine] with the shape or narrowness of these curves." This as...
متن کاملBacterial morphology: why have different shapes?
The fact that bacteria have different shapes is not surprising; after all, we teach the concept early and often and use it in identification and classification. However, why bacteria should have a particular shape is a question that receives much less attention. The answer is that morphology is just another way microorganisms cope with their environment, another tool for gaining a competitive a...
متن کاملThe many shapes of mitochondrial membranes.
The roles of mitochondria in cell death and in aging have generated much excitement in recent years. At the same time, however, a quiet revolution in our thinking about mitochondrial ultrastructure has begun. This revolution started with the use of vital dyes and of green fluorescent protein fusion proteins, showing that mitochondria are very dynamic structures that constantly move, divide and ...
متن کاملGene Conversion Shapes Linear Mitochondrial Genome Architecture
Recently, it was shown that gene conversion between the ends of linear mitochondrial chromosomes can cause telomere expansion and the duplication of subtelomeric loci. However, it is not yet known how widespread this phenomenon is and how significantly it has impacted organelle genome architecture. Using linear mitochondrial DNAs and mitochondrial plasmids from diverse eukaryotes, we argue that...
متن کاملImmune synapses: mitochondrial morphology matters.
Proper positioning of mitochondria is critical for cellular function. Mitochondria localization close to synapses regulates signalling at neuronal and immune synapses (ISs). Vice versa, synapses influence activity, motility and the fusion/fission balance of close-by mitochondria. In this issue of The EMBO Journal, Baixauli et al (2011) identify a role for the mitochondrial fission factor dynami...
