Phosphoinositide signaling: new tools and insights.
Phosphoinositides constitute only a small fraction of cellular phospholipids, yet their importance in the regulation of cellular functions can hardly be overstated. The rapid metabolic response of phosphoinositides after stimulation of certain cell surface receptors was the first indication that these lipids could serve as regulatory molecules. These early observations opened research areas tha...
متن کاملNew insights into symbiotic associations between ants and bacteria.
Many ants live in complex mutualistic or parasitic relationships with other insects or plants, some of which are classical examples of the mutual benefit of symbiosis. However, only in the past few years have new insights into the symbiosis of ants and microorganisms been reported. Examples are the symbiosis of ants of the genus Camponotus with intracellular bacteria present in their midgut, an...
متن کاملPlant cell biology in the new millennium: new tools and new insights.
The highly regulated structural components of the plant cell form the basis of its function. It is becoming increasingly recognized that cellular components are ordered into regulatory units ranging from the multienzyme complexes that allow metabolic channeling during primary metabolism to the "transducon" complexes of signal transduction elements that allow for the highly efficient transfer of...
متن کاملActivity-based probes for the ubiquitin conjugation-deconjugation machinery: new chemistries, new tools, and new insights.
The reversible post-translational modification of proteins by ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins regulates almost all cellular processes, by affecting protein degradation, localization, and complex formation. Deubiquitinases (DUBs) are proteases that remove ubiquitin modifications or cleave ubiquitin chains. Most DUBs are cysteine proteases, which makes them well suited for study by activity...
متن کاملNew tools provide new insights in NMR studies of protein dynamics.
There is growing evidence that structural flexibility plays a central role in the function of protein molecules. Many of the experimental data come from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a technique that allows internal motions to be probed with exquisite time and spatial resolution. Recent methodological advancements in NMR have extended our ability to characterize protein dynamic...
