Tiny protein motor fuels bacterial movement
Bacteria
The ability to move is key for bacteria like some strains of salmonella and E. coli to efficiently spread infections. They can propel themselves forward using threads, known as flagella, powered by the flagellar rotary motor. But how this rotary motor is powered has been a mystery among scientists. Now, researchers from UCPH show that the bacterial flagellar motor is powered by yet another even tinier, rotary motor.

Genome guardians stop and reel in DNA to correct replication errors
New research shows how proofreading proteins prevent DNA replication errors by creating an immobile structure that calls more proteins to the site to repair the error. This structure could also prevent the mismatched region from being ''packed'' back into the cell during division.

This is when chromatin remodelers come into play. Chromatin remodelers have an essential role as they are molecular machines: <strong>they unpick and unpack segments of the DNA by sliding nucleosome spools back and forth, replacing individual histones, freeing up the DNA for transcription, and finally compacting it again, when the job is done.</strong> Since all of this happens in a highly dynamic fashion, <strong>chromatin remodelers enable cells to react rapidly to alterations in their environment</strong> – and this holds for brewer’s yeast as well as for human cells. In mediating gene accessibility, chromatin remodelers are vital for development and cell differentiation; cell types are defined by the sets of genes they express, remodelers help to determine cell identity.</div>

From a biochemical point of view, remodelers are responsible for heavy-duty reorganizational tasks. To perform these tasks, they must execute “large-scale conformational changes, which are carried out with astounding precision,”</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.6px;">
Cells can avoid “data breaches” when letting signaling proteins into their nuclei thanks to a quirky biophysical mechanism involving a blur of spaghetti-like proteins, researchers from the Rockefeller University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown. Their study appears in the March 23 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry.</div>

In every human cell, all of the body’s blueprints and instructions are stored in the form of DNA inside the nucleus. Molecules that need to travel in and out of the nucleus – to turn genes on or off or retrieve information – do so through passageways called nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). <strong>Traffic through these NPCs must be tightly controlled in order to prevent DNA hijacking by viruses or faulty functioning as in cancer.</strong></div>

Read a report on the Royal Society Meeting</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">
“The Modern Synthesis, while undoubtedly productive for a time, is a misconception of reality that has reached the limits of its explanatory power. The problems are fundamental. <strong>No amount of cosmetic surgery is going correct them.”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">
<strong>“To the contrary, Darwinian competition causes not the evolution of species but the destruction of species.</strong>It is collaboration in its various forms that causes biological evolution. Hence I’m sur<strong>prised by calls for extending the neo-Darwinian Evolutionary Synthesis. You can’t extend something that is broken.</strong> Surely what is needed now, after 65 years, is using the empirical evidence to develop a new paradigm for biological evolution.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">
"If you want the definition of the Modern Synthesis, take a look at how Neil deGrasse Tyson explains evolution in the 2014 remake of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos series. <strong>Tyson, an astrophysicist, is unaware that he is misinformed, as are most in science, academia, government, literature, the arts, and the public by this outmoded theory of evolution."</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">
“Shuker tried to interrupt but Noble held his ground:<br />‘No, YOU need to listen. I used to think exactly like you. I embraced the reductionist mindset for years. When I got out of school I was a card-carrying reductionist. Reductionism is powerful and it’s useful. I am not dissing it. Many times we need it. But it is not the whole story.’ Noble described how bacterial regulatory<br />networks rebuilt those genes in four days by hyper-mutating, actively searching for a solution that would give them tails and enable them to Nind food. <strong>Natural selection did not achieve that. Natural genetic engineering did.’”</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">
“It’s appropriate that this meeting is being held at the Royal Society, whose motto, we were reminded yesterday, is “Nullius in verba”: Accept nothing on authority."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;">
<strong>“Not one whit of empirical evidence shows that new species arise from the neo-Darwinian mechanism. To the contrary, Darwinian competition causes not the evolution of species but the destruction of species.”</strong></div>

Two cell membrane proteins, Fat2 and Lar, trigger leading and trailing edge movements during epithelial migration</div>
<div class="subtitle" id="subtitle">

<div class="subtitle" id="subtitle">
A new signaling system has been discovered that epithelial cells use to
coordinate their individual movements and efficiently move tissues,
report scientists. </div>
<div class="subtitle" id="subtitle">
<br /></div>
<div class="subtitle" id="subtitle">
"When an individual cell needs to move somewhere, it manages just fine on
its own. It extends protrusions from its leading edge and retracts the
trailing edge to scoot itself along, without having to worry about what
the other cells around it are doing. But when cells are joined together
in a sheet of tissue, or epithelium, they have to coordinate their
movements with their neighbors. It's like walking by yourself versus
navigating a crowded room. To push through the crowd, you have to
communicate with others by talking ("Pardon me") or tapping them on the
shoulder. Cells do the same thing, but instead of verbal cues and hand
gestures, they use proteins to signal to each other."</div>
