Telomeres--what's new at the end?   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Telomeres are specialized chromatin domains located at the ends of chromosomes. They are involved in chromosome replication, stability and localization in the nucleus. In addition to these functions, recent work suggests that telomeres are involved in such superficially diverse cellular phenomena as ageing, cancer, nuclear architecture and nuclear/cellular division.  相似文献

The centromere is a classic system to study epigenetic specification, and most research has focused on a specialized histone variant, CENP-A, that is required for kinetochore assembly. Now Nishino et?al. reveal a new level of complexity for centromeric chromatin, by showing that the kinetochore complex CENP-T-W-S-X shares structural and functional properties with canonical histones.  相似文献

<正>Cortical microtubule(MT)arrays are dynamic filamentous structures that are essential for cell differentiation and development in plants.However,the molecular mechanisms that control the organization of cortical MT arrays are not well understood.Early studies have revealed that the formation of cortical MT arrays involves MT nucleation on existing cortical MTs.The growth of new MTs follows the polarity of existing MTs and the orientation of new MTs is either in parallel with extant MTs or at a small angle(about40 degree)to the extant MTs[1].Nucleation machinery appears to be conserved between animals and plants in  相似文献

Spatial and social behaviour are fundamental aspects of an animal's biology, and their social and spatial environments are indelibly linked through mutual causes and shared consequences. We define the ‘spatial–social interface’ as intersection of social and spatial aspects of individuals' phenotypes and environments. Behavioural variation at the spatial–social interface has implications for ecological and evolutionary processes including pathogen transmission, population dynamics, and the evolution of social systems. We link spatial and social processes through a foundation of shared theory, vocabulary, and methods. We provide examples and future directions for the integration of spatial and social behaviour and environments. We introduce key concepts and approaches that either implicitly or explicitly integrate social and spatial processes, for example, graph theory, density-dependent habitat selection, and niche specialization. Finally, we discuss how movement ecology helps link the spatial–social interface. Our review integrates social and spatial behavioural ecology and identifies testable hypotheses at the spatial–social interface.  相似文献

In this brief paper, the author reports on a meeting on copper research (2nd International Meeting on Copper Homeostasis and its Disorders: Molecular and Cellular Aspects) recently held in Ravello, Italy (17–21 September 1999). Aimed at elucidating the diverse roles played by copper ions in biology and medicine, as they are currently intensely investigated worldwide, the meeting has been organized around a number of major topics from prominent areas of copper research. These included the molecular and cellular basis of copper transport, molecular advances in Menkes and Wilson's diseases, the involvement of copper in neurodegenerative diseases, the structure and function of copper metalloproteins.  相似文献

Summary Using ionization chambers, aluminium activation, TLD and scintillation counters 3-dimensional total dose-distributions, stardose-distributions and pion stop-distributions have been measured in a single pion beam for various momenta and momentum spreads.It is demonstrated how these data will be used as an input into the therapy-planning program. The techniques developed are suited to check dynamical treatment with 60 pion beams.  相似文献

The Late Glacial and early Holocene palaeovegetation is reconstructed by analysis of pollen and macroscopic plant remains from sediments of the lower river Erft valley, near Cologne, exposed by the Garzweiler opencast lignite mine. The study was carried out in parallel with the archaeological excavation of the Mesolithic site of Bedburg-Königshoven, located within a former meander of the Erft. During the Younger Dryas period, the study region was thinly wooded. Relatively open pine woods existed during the Preboreal, becoming more closed during the Boreal. Later in the Boreal,Corylus and taxa of the mixed oak woodland (Ulmus, Quercus, Tilia andFraxinus) appeared. The Atlantic period was characterised by mixed oak woods with dominantUlmus. At the beginning of the Subboreal,Ulmus declined andTilia became the predominant element of the woods. The Mesolithic settlement existed during the early and middle part of the Preboreal period. At that time, the woodland of the Erft valley was mainly composed ofPinits, Belula and somePopulus. The pollen results do not show any evidence of the activity of Mesolithic people. Local vegetational changes of the filling process of the Erft meander were described and interpreted. The vegetational development of the study region is compared with that of neighbouring regions.  相似文献

Magnetic resonance spectroscopy has revealed that cell death in tumors undergoing therapy may follow either from auto-oxidative cellular injury (ACI) or from programmed cell death (apoptosis), depending on the particular form of treatment employed and on its intensity. This short review argues not only in favor of ACI as the preferred mode of cell death, but also for a better understanding of the relationship between the nature of the changes stressed cells undergo and patterns of drug resistance accompanying survival if therapy is to become more successful.  相似文献
