Solo polarization

چکیده

eterochromatin’s repressive hold on DNA transcription can only be relinquished when activators enter the nucleus. Or so the theory goes. But now Vanessa Witte, Andreas Baur (University of Erlangen, Germany), and colleagues find that a heterochromatin component can be pulled from the nucleus by both the HIV protein Nef and activated integrins. “This is a really new concept—that chromatin-associated proteins are shuttling,” says Baur. The shuttling Eed protein, a polycomb group (PcG) heterochromatin factor, is captured at the plasma membrane by either membrane-associated Nef or activated integrins. Eed first came to the attention of the German group as a Nefbinding protein. Injection of Nef into cells led to translocation of Eed out of nuclei to the cytoplasm. This reduces or eliminates the association of Eed with the integrated HIV DNA and increases HIV transcription. During an infection, these effects may be mediated by the small amount of Nef that the virus brings in with it. The interaction between Eed and integrins has been noted before, but Witte et al. are the first to demonstrate that Eed shuttles out of the nucleus and binds to the plasma membrane after integrin activation, thus increasing HIV transcription. The capture of Eed at signaling complexes may, Baur suggests, ensure that the nucleus is derepressed even before it receives activating signals from the plasma membrane. Other signaling complexes may use the same dual strategy.

Computing in the Presence of Concurrent Solo Executions

In a wait-free model any number of processes may crash. A process runs solo when it computes its local output without receiving any communication from other processes, either because they crashed or they are too slow. While in wait-free shared-memorymodels at most one process may run solo in an execution, any number of processes may have to run solo in an asynchronous wait-free message-passing ...

The odyssey of Orpheus: the evolution of solo singing.

Notated sacred solo song dates from 1,000 B.C. Early secular song exhibits modest vocal demands of chant-like character. Popular song and liturgical solo song share common origins. Western European secular song notation began in the early Medieval Age. Compositional writing for solo voice took a dramatic turn toward virtuosity about 1600. By the mid-17th century, the modern solo voice emerged. ...
