Watching DNA repair in real time.
I n 1949, Albert Kelner described a miraculous recovery of cells damaged by UV radiation when cells were exposed to soft sunlight (1). It was found later that an enzyme photolyase (PL) is involved in photoreactivation (2). With a paper in PNAS by Dongping Zhong, Aziz Sancar, and their colleagues (3) describing the real-time progression of the photoreactivation repair reaction observed by femtos...
متن کاملWatching the DNA Repair Ensemble Dance
Repair of damaged DNA is a dynamic process that requires careful orchestration of a multitude of enzymes, adaptor proteins, and chromatin constituents. In this issue of Cell, Lisby et al. (2004) provide a visual glimpse into how the diverse signaling and repair machines are organized in space and time around the deadliest genetic lesions--the DNA double-strand breaks.
متن کاملWatching structure formation in real time
Structure formation processes, including crystallization and growth as the most obvious examples, are ubiquitous in nature and technology. Importantly, for their understanding it is not sufficient to study the minimum of the free energy, but non-equilibrium issues need to be considered. This is a challenge for both theory and experiment, in particular for many modern materials, which are rather...
متن کاملWatching real-time endocytosis in living cells
The precise sequence of events promoting clathrin-coated vesicle assembly is still debated. In this issue, Kadlecova et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201608071) test structural models using quantitative microscopy in living cells to investigate the hierarchy and temporal importance of molecular events required for clathrin-coated pit initiation.
متن کاملPictures in Molecular Medicine Watching real-time metastasis in vivo
Visualizing cancer cells that stably express green fluorescent protein (GFP) is far more sensitive and rapid than the traditional cumbersome procedures of histopathological examination, immunohistochemistry or other imaging modalities. In particular, GFP labeling markedly improved the ability to visualize metastases in fresh soft organs and bone with the resolution of a single cell [1]. A major...
