Spontaneous polarization in eukaryotic gradient sensing: a mathematical model based on mutual inhibition of frontness and backness pathways.
A key problem of eukaryotic cell motility is the signaling mechanism of chemoattractant gradient sensing. Recent experiments have revealed the molecular correlate of gradient sensing: Frontness molecules, such as PI3P and Rac, localize at the front end of the cell, and backness molecules, such as Rho and myosin II, accumulate at the back of the cell. Importantly, this frontness-backness polariz...
متن کاملThe violability of backness in retroflex consonants
This paper addresses remarks made by Flemming (2003) to the effect that his analysis of the interaction between retroflexion and vowel backness is superior to that of Hamann (2003b). While Hamann maintained that retroflex articulations are always back, Flemming adduces phonological as well as phonetic evidence to prove that retroflex consonants can be non-back and even front (i.e. palatalised)....
متن کاملNeutrophil microtubules suppress polarity and enhance directional migration.
How do microtubules, which maintain and direct polarity of many eukaryotic cells, regulate polarity of blood neutrophils? In sharp contrast to most cells, disrupting a neutrophil's microtubule network with nocodazole causes it to polarize and migrate [Niggli, V. (2003) J. Cell Sci. 116, 813-822]. Nocodazole induces the same responses in differentiated HL-60 cells, a model neutrophil cell line, ...
متن کاملMeasuring magnitude of tongue movement for vowel height and backness
Optical Flow Analysis (OFA) has recently been introduced as a fast, easy, and reliable means of extracting articulatory information from ultrasound video ([2], [3], [6], [9]). This paper illustrates how one primary measurement that is extracted using OFA, magnitude of movement, correlates with the standard phonological vowel categories of height and backness. By establishing a baseline for thes...
متن کاملOn learnability and naturalness as constraints on phonological grammar
We report six experiments on learnability of four non-adjacent phonotactic constraints which differ in their attested frequency and phonetic conditioning factors; liquid harmony, liquid disharmony, backness harmony, and backness disharmony. Our results suggest that such phonotactic constraints can be implicitly learned from brief experience and that learnability of a phonological grammar may be...
