Solving mysteries of DNA replication and frog cloning.

Abstract:

:Compared to sperm nuclei, nuclei from adult somatic cells replicate inefficiently in frog egg extract. In this issue of Cell, Lemaitre et al. (2005) show that pre-exposure of erythrocyte nuclei to a mitotic extract removes this difference, reorganizes the chromatin into shorter loops, and allows replication at much shorter intervals along the DNA. Remarkably, these observations also explain an old mystery of why serial nuclear transplantation was so successful for cloning frogs.

  • Switch between large hand-over-hand and small inchworm-like steps in myosin VI.

    abstract::Many biological motor molecules move within cells using stepsizes predictable from their structures. Myosin VI, however, has much larger and more broadly distributed stepsizes than those predicted from its short lever arms. We explain the discrepancy by monitoring Qdots and gold nanoparticles attached to the myosin-VI...
