Researchers concerned with the growth of biological tissue often use models that predict the growth as a function of a mechanical stimulus such as stress, strain or elastic energy. However, a general theory for bulk growth should consider that the mechanical stimulus may only be one of many factors contributing to growth. Another important factor could be time, as living tissues can be assumed to have a pre-programmed directional biological growth that is independent of mechanical stimuli. This paper has two objectives: the first is to introduce the concept of directional biological growth within a well developed growth theory, the second is to present the computational methods by which three-dimensional growth that encompasses time and stress effects can be simulated using commercially available finite element analysis software. 相似文献

Replication by Escherichia coli DNA polymerase III is disrupted on encountering DNA damage. Consequently, specialized Y-family DNA polymerases are used to bypass DNA damage. The protein UmuD is extensively involved in modulating cellular responses to DNA damage and may play a role in DNA polymerase exchange for damage tolerance. In the absence of DNA, UmuD interacts with the α subunit of DNA polymerase III at two distinct binding sites, one of which is adjacent to the single-stranded DNA-binding site of α. Here, we use single molecule DNA stretching experiments to demonstrate that UmuD specifically inhibits binding of α to ssDNA. We predict using molecular modeling that UmuD residues D91 and G92 are involved in this interaction and demonstrate that mutation of these residues disrupts the interaction. Our results suggest that competition between UmuD and ssDNA for α binding is a new mechanism for polymerase exchange. 相似文献

In a continuing effort to analyze the selectivity/redundancy of the three glutaredoxin (Grx) enzymes of the model cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC6803, we have characterized an enzyme system that plays a crucial role in protection against two toxic metal pollutants, mercury and uranium. The present data show that Grx1 (Slr1562 in CyanoBase) selectively interacts with the presumptive mercuric reductase protein (Slr1849). This MerA enzyme plays a crucial role in cell defense against both mercuric and uranyl ions, in catalyzing their NADPH-driven reduction. Like MerA, Grx1 operates in cell protection against both mercury and uranium. The Grx1-MerA interaction requires cysteine 86 (C86) of Grx1 and C78 of MerA, which is critical for its reductase activity. MerA can be inhibited by glutathionylation and subsequently reactivated by Grx1, likely through deglutathionylation. The two Grx1 residues C31, which belongs to the redox active site (CX2C), and C86, which operates in MerA interactions, are both required for reactivation of MerA. These novel findings emphasize the role of glutaredoxins in tolerance to metal stress as well as the evolutionary conservation of the glutathionylation process, so far described mostly for eukaryotes. 相似文献

Trials in the 1990s demonstrated that medical therapy is as effective as invasive therapies for treating single-vessel coronary disease. Yet more recent studies enrolling patients with this condition have focused on evaluating only invasive approaches, namely, stenting versus coronary artery bypass surgery. Several ethical and scientific questions remain unanswered regarding the conduct of these later trials. Were they justified? Why wasn't a medical therapy arm included? Were subjects informed about the availability of medical therapy as an equivalent option? Was optimized medical therapy given prior to randomization? The absence of clear answers to these questions raises the possibility of serious bias in favor of invasive interventions. Considering that medical therapy is underutilized in patients with coronary disease, efforts should focus more on increasing utilization of medical therapy and proper selection of noninvasive interventions. 相似文献

Experimental observations suggest that during a ligament tensile strain test, water and glycosaminoglycans are exuded. Many attempts have been tried to model this behaviour using continuum mechanics. We have investigated this unique behaviour and have established three mechanisms which may contribute to the experimental observations: the slackness of the fibres before stretching can lead to a decrease in volume upon straightening; a Poisson's ratio higher than 0.5 from the axial to the lateral direction (as recorded in the literature [Hewitt, J., Guilak, F., Glisson, R. and Parker Vail, T. (2001) "Regional material properties of the human hip joint capsule ligaments", Journal of Orthopaedic Research 19(3), 359-364]) due to the very high level of anisotropy of the tissue; and an osmotic pressure, with a certain level of anisotropy, that causes the swelling of the tissue before loading [Thornton, G.M., Shrive, N.G. and Frank, C.B. (2001) "Altering ligament water content affects ligament pre-stress and creep behaviour", Journal of Orthopaedic Research 19(5), 845-851]. There may be other mechanisms that also contribute in the observed fluid exudation on tensile loading. 相似文献
