Download or read book Biochemical and Structural Dynamics of the Cell Nucleus written by Eugenia Wang and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biochemical and Structural Dynamics of the Cell Nucleus is a collection of papers dealing with the biology of the cell nucleus. The collection describes the methods used in isolating and defining the chemistry and functional interactions of the nuclear components. Some papers also discuss the diversity of the roles that these components play in regulating cellular phenotypes, differentiation, and proliferation. One paper discusses the possible role for lamin A in muscle differentiations, where due to its presence and the appearance of A-type lamins during the differentiation of a number of cell types, lamin A or any of its isoelectric variants cannot specifically be responsible for the induction of muscle specific gene expression. The work of Loewinger and McKeon (1988) can show evidence of the role for lamin A in the differential expression of muscle-specific genes during the process of myogenesis if the investigator uses an alternative method. Several papers also discuss the dynamics of assembly and disassembly of the nuclear lamina and envelope, DNA- and RNA-binding proteins, as well as the nucleocytoplasmic transport. The collection can prove valuable to biochemists, cellular biologists, microbiologists, and molecular biologists.

Download or read book Chromatin Structure and Dynamics written by J. Zlatanova and published by Gulf Professional Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological processes that replicate, preserve and use the genetic information encoded in DNA must operate in the context of chromatin, a highly organized complex of DNA and proteins. These proteins do not merely package the DNA in the tiny volume of the nucleus, but impart the structure the ability to change according to the requirements of the specific process the DNA is involved in. Moreover, chromatin structure is used by the cell to control the activity of DNA. In this volume the basics of chromatin structure and dynamics are presented by established experts in the field.

Download or read book Nuclear Volume and Cellular Metabolism written by Reinhard Hildebrand and published by Springer. This book was released on 2011-11-23 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of morphometric techniques in biology and the development ofbioche mical methods for cytological-histological research have deepened substantially our knowledge and understanding of the structure, dynamics, and function of morphologi cal structures, thereby improving upon a purely descriptive presentation. Thus the limits between the individual disciplines in basic research have become blurred. With the development of suitable methods of measuring the size of nuclear volu mes, it has become possible to obtain data regarding the variable state and nucleo kinetic processes in the "genetic center of control" of the cell (Siebert 1967), and to evaluate these data statistically so as to make them verifiable. With the formulation of the "basic law of karyometry" by Palkovits and Fischer (1968), in a dynamic approach to "genetic" and "functional trends" in karyometry, i. e. , an attempt to relate nuclear volume changes exclusively to the size and number of chromosomes, and, on the other hand, to comprehend these changes as an expression of functional changes, successfully connected with one another and interpreted bio logically. The early function-oriented observation that a swelling of the nuclear volume is an expression of an increase in cellular function, while a decrease in the volume is an indication of a lowering of activity, provided a preliminary basis for estimating nu clear size as a statement about the functional state of a tissue or organ.
Download or read book Cell Physiology written by Henry Tedeschi and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 739 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cell Physiology: Molecular Dynamics focuses on the molecular aspects of cell physiology. It analyzes the functional and structural organization of the cell as a unit of inheritance and a biochemical transducer; the mechanisms of genetic transmission; the transcription and translation of the genetic message; the capture of energy in oxidative phosphorylation and photosynthesis; and the principle of semi-conservation in DNA duplication. Experiments illustrate the basic principles described in this book. Organized into three sections encompassing 19 chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the cell as a system of compartments, and the possible functional significance of compartmentation. It then turns to a discussion of some of the processes involved in the functioning of the cell, the genetic control of cell function, the replication of DNA, and extrachromosomal inheritance. The reader is also introduced to interactions between organelles and the nucleus; differentiation and control of protein synthesis; the role of enzymes in the regulation of metabolism; and control of macromolecules in bacteria and in some mammalian tissues. The books also covers oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial organization; transport and permeability of the cell membrane; the role of specialized cells in the excitation and conduction of signals; and the molecular basis of mechanochemical coupling. This book is a valuable resource for undergraduate students with a basic knowledge of the biochemical and genetic approaches to biology.
Download or read book Nuclear Structure and Gene Expression written by R. Curtis Bird and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1996-11-28 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear Structure and Gene Expression assimilates the contributions of genome organization and of the components of the nuclear matrix to the control of DNA and RNA synthesis. Nuclear domains which accommodate DNA replication and gene expression are considered in relation to short-term developmental and homeostatic requirements as well as to long-term commitments to phenotypic gene expression in differentiated cells. Consideration is given to the involvement of nuclear structure in gene localization as well as to the targeting and concentration of transcription factors. Aberrations in nuclear architecture associated with and potentially functionally related to pathologies are evaluated. Tumor cells are described from the perspective of the striking modifications in both the composition and organization of nuclear components. Nuclear Structure and Gene Expression presents concepts as well as experimental approaches, which define functionality of nuclear morphology. * Mechanisms of interaction between nuclear structure and genes * Gene expression regulation by elements of the nuclear matrix * How nuclear structure exerts a regulatory effect on other aspects of cell function/physiology
