The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is a component of the cap-binding complex and interacts with the translational repressor Cup during Drosophila oogenesis [PDF]
In metazoa, the spatio-temporal translation of diverse mRNAs is essential to guarantee proper oocyte maturation and early embryogenesis. The eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E), which binds the 5′ cap structure of eukaryotic mRNAs ...

Eukaryotic organisms are continuously exposed to bacteriophages, which are efficient gene transfer agents in bacteria. However, bacteriophages are considered not to pass the eukaryotic cell membrane and enter nonphagocytic cells.

Telomeres in Evolution and Development from Biosemiotic Perspective [PDF]
Telomeres identify natural chromosome ends being different from broken DNA through differences in their "molecular syntax" (M.Eigen) which determines the functions of reverse transcriptase and its integrated RNA template, telomerase.

Selection of resistance to cisplatin in saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model for antineoplastic drugs studies [PDF]
The budding yeast (S. cerevisiae) is an excellent eukaryotic model to study the antineoplastic drugs effects, due to the well-characterized metabolic and genetic characteristics and the conserved similarity in molecular mechanisms with other species ...

Making ends meet: repairing breaks in bacterial DNA by non-homologous end-joining. [PDF]
DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are one of the most dangerous forms of DNA lesion that can result in genomic instability and cell death. Therefore cells have developed elaborate DSB-repair pathways to maintain the integrity of genomic DNA.

Scanning X-Ray Nanodiffraction on Living Eukaryotic Cells in Microfluidic Environments
High-resolution x-ray imaging techniques offer a variety of possibilities for studying the nanoscale structure of biological cells. A challenging task remains the study of cells by x rays in their natural, aqueous environment.

Unraveling Adaptation in Eukaryotic Pathways: Lessons from Protocells [PDF]
Eukaryotic adaptation pathways operate within wide-ranging environmental conditions without stimulus saturation. Despite numerous differences in the adaptation mechanisms employed by bacteria and eukaryotes, all require energy consumption.

Transcription factor clusters regulate genes in eukaryotic cells
Transcription is regulated through binding factors to gene promoters to activate or repress expression, however, the mechanisms by which factors find targets remain unclear.
