Transport if loaded uclear transporters can be viewed as taxis that move cargo across the nuclear envelope. On page 649, Plafker et al. report that importin-11, a nuclear transport receptor , may be an especially selective cabbie. Importin-11 transports UbcM2, a ubiquitin (Ub)-conjugating enzyme, but it does so only when the enzyme is charged with a Ub at its active site. UbcM2 is an E2 enzyme,...

timing. We have used a combination of live imaging, gene expression analysis, and physical theory to explore the organization and function of the segmentation clock, the synchronized oscillating gene network that underlies the dynamics of somitogenesis. I will discuss new experimental results identifying somitogenesis period mutants, and corresponding theoretical approaches that explain the col...

The ability to maintain a proportionate body plan in individuals of different sizes is essential for proper development. Despite wide interest, little is known about the mechanisms underlying scaling with size. I will discuss our efforts to reveal the molecular basis for scaling in different systems. A general ‘‘Expansion– Repression’’ feedback topology will be presented, which ensures scaling ...
