The ins and outs of DNA transfer in bacteria.
Transformation and conjugation permit the passage of DNA through the bacterial membranes and represent dominant modes for the transfer of genetic information between bacterial cells or between bacterial and eukaryotic cells. As such, they are responsible for the spread of fitness-enhancing traits, including antibiotic resistance. Both processes usually involve the recognition of double-stranded...
متن کاملIns and outs of Cdc14
Virus takes the actin express V iruses typically hitchhike around the cytoplasm on microtubules. Ohkawa et al. reveal that one type of virus can travel within the cell using actin fi laments. Once baculoviruses break into a cell, they need a lift to the nucleus so their genetic material can be copied. However, these viruses don’t require microtubules for the journey. Ohkawa et al. investigated ...
متن کاملIns and Outs of E2Fs
Precise control of the mitotic cell cycle is a critical feature of eukaryotic life. In humans, mutations in cell cycle regulatory genes lead to the uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor formation associated with the most dreaded of all diseases, cancer. E2F transcription factors are key components of an elaborate mechanism of cell cycle control in higher eukaryotes. For example, the promote...
متن کاملThe Ins and Outs of Anthrax Toxin
Anthrax is a severe, although rather rare, infectious disease that is caused by the Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The infectious form is the spore and the major virulence factors of the bacterium are its poly-γ-D-glutamic acid capsule and the tripartite anthrax toxin. The discovery of the anthrax toxin receptors in the early 2000s has allowed in-depth studies on the...
متن کاملThe ins and outs of organic farming.
IN THEIR REPORT “SOIL FERTILITY AND BIOdiversity in organic farming,” P. Mäder et al. (31 May, p. 1694) downplay two factors in their discussion of the relative merits of organic and conventional farming. First, because organic farming yields (per unit of land) were 20% lower than those from conventional farming, 25% more land would be required to produce the same amount of crop biomass, offset...
