Damage first; infect later
ike a picky tourist looking for a hotel room, the malariacausing protozoan Plasmodium passes through several cells before settling on one to infect. Margarida Carrolo, Maria Mota (Instituto Gulbenkian de Ciência, Oeiras, Portugal), and colleagues now report that the initial invasions cause the damaged cells to make a factor that primes other cells for infection. The factor turned up in culture ...
متن کاملDNA-Repair Capacity in Down\'s Syndrome
Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in human. Subjects with DS are known to be peridisposed to develop leukemia. The molecular basis of the association between DS and leukemia is unknown. The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test measure the ability of DNA-repair in mammalian cells after excision of a stretch of DNA containing the region of damage induced by chemical ...
متن کاملSequence First. Ask Questions Later.
Comparative sequence analyses of eukaryotic genes and genomic regions are beginning to provide a wealth of information that is directly relevant to human biology. Functional changes that set us apart from apes are identifiable, as are functional constraints in proteins and genomic elements that arose in our relatively distant phylogenetic past.
متن کاملArabidopsis CHROMOSOME TRANSMISSION FIDELITY 7 (AtCTF7/ECO1) is required for DNA repair, mitosis and meiosis
The proper transmission of DNA in dividing cells is crucial for the survival of eukaryotic organisms. During cell division, faithful segregation of replicated chromosomes requires their tight attachment, known as sister chromatid cohesion, until anaphase. Sister chromatid cohesion is established during S-phase in a process requiring an acetyltransferase that in yeast is known as Establishment o...
متن کاملMitotic checkpoint genes in budding yeast and the dependence of mitosis on DNA replication and repair.
In eukaryotes a cell-cycle control termed a checkpoint causes arrest in the S or G2 phases when chromosomes are incompletely replicated or damaged. Previously, we showed in budding yeast that RAD9 and RAD17 are checkpoint genes required for arrest in the G2 phase after DNA damage. Here, we describe a genetic strategy that identified four additional checkpoint genes that act in two pathways. Bot...
