What he found involves an enzyme called TacL and a duo of molecules that control LytA's location and, consequently, its activity.
Hunter is uncovering specific mechanisms that allow RNAi effects to spread from cell to cell, while Kunes is inventorying molecules that control olfactory learning in Drosophila.
The moving parts of the clock consist of chemical tags on DNA molecules that control whether genes are active in cells.
Ever wonder why there are so many of us?" Hunt, who won the Nobel Prize for discovering protein molecules that control the division of cells, said when contacted for a comment: "I'm very sorry that what I thought were light-hearted ironic remarks were taken so seriously, and I'm very sorry if people took offence.
14-3-3 proteins are a family of conserved regulatory molecules that control various cellular functions by directly binding target signaling proteins, including kinases, phosphatases and receptors [15].
The post-synaptic density protein 95 (PSD95) is a member of the synapse-associated protein family of scaffolding molecules that control the organization, composition, and function of synapses [18].
Neuropeptides are important messenger molecules that control a wide range of regulatory functions and processes within an organism.
This is an evolutionarily conserved kinase: Par4, the Caenorhabditis elegans ortholog, is one of the six "partitioning" molecules that control zygote polarity 13 in Drosophila.
Hence the machinery (i.e. transcription factors and other signaling molecules) that control their expression is likely to be present in leaf tissue as well as roots.
The most abundant cells in the central nervous system are star-shaped cells known as astrocytes, which secrete molecules that control the timing and extent of synapse formation.
It should be kept in mind that both γ-secretase complexes and Nrg1 isoforms impinge on multiple signalling molecules that control many facets of neuronal development and function.
