Evolution of Cell Division
It is widely accepted that in order for a cell to maintain its average size through several divisions, a coordination between the cell growth and cell division should exist. However, the details of this coordination is not well understood. In the recent years, several attempts have been made to propose a generic model that explains the details of the process of cell growth and its coordination ...

متن کاملMolecular Evolution of Threonine Dehydratase in Bacteria
Threonine dehydratase converts L-threonine to 2-ketobutyrate. Several threonine dehydratases exist in bacteria, but their origins and evolutionary pathway are unknown. Here we analyzed all the available threonine dehydratases in bacteria and proposed an evolutionary pathway leading to the genes encoding three different threonine dehydratases CTD, BTD1 and BTD2. The ancestral threonine dehydrata...
متن کاملMolecular evolution of acetohydroxyacid synthase in bacteria
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) is the key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathways of branched chain amino acids in bacteria. Since it does not exist in animal and plant cells, AHAS is an attractive target for developing antimicrobials and herbicides. In some bacteria, there is a single copy of AHAS, while in others there are multiple copies. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the origin an...
