DNA supercoiling affects in vitro transcription of two maize chloroplast genes differently.

abstract：:The ability of lysosomes to move within the cytoplasm is important for many cellular functions. This ability is particularly critical in neurons, which comprise vast, highly differentiated domains such as the axon and dendrites. The mechanisms that control lysosome movement in these domains, however, remain poorly und...
