50-year-old Mystery Solved: Protein Tags Regulate Key Ion Channel

Researchers at the University of Chicago have found that a recently discovered biological process known as sumoylation -- until now thought to be active only in the nucleus -- also occurs near the cell's surface where it regulates at least one and possibly many kinds of proteins, providing a novel target for the development of new drugs. The discovery, published in the 8 April 2005 issue o...

Emanuel Hanski, a microbiologist at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, and colleagues have found that the success of Group A Streptococcus is due in part to a protein that blocks the immune system's distress calls. The finding...

Two central mysteries in genome inheritance solved at UCSD

The dance of the chromosomes during cell division, first described in the late 1800s and familiar to all high-school students from movies shown in biology classes, has long fascinated biologists. However, the molecular nature of a key component of cell division, the "chromosome-spindle" connection, which is critical for the inheritance of genetic information as cells divide, has remained elusive...
