    Description: Replication forks are impeded by DNA damage and protein-nucleic acid complexes such as transcribing RNA polymerase. For example, head-on collision of the replisome with RNA polymerase results in replication fork arrest. However, co-directional collision of the replisome with RNA polymerase has little or no effect on fork progression. Here we examine co-directional collisions between a replisome and RNA polymerase in vitro. We show that the Escherichia coli replisome uses the RNA transcript as a primer to continue leading-strand synthesis after the collision with RNA polymerase that is displaced from the DNA. This action results in a discontinuity in the leading strand, yet the replisome remains intact and bound to DNA during the entire process. These findings underscore the notable plasticity by which the replisome operates to circumvent obstacles in its path and may explain why the leading strand is synthesized discontinuously in vivo.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2605185/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2605185/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Pomerantz, Richard T -- O'Donnell, Mike -- R01 GM038839/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM038839-21/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 GM038839/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R37 GM038839-20/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2008 Dec 11;456(7223):762-6. doi: 10.1038/nature07527.

    Description: The conversion of chemical energy into mechanical force by AAA+ (ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities) ATPases is integral to cellular processes, including DNA replication, protein unfolding, cargo transport and membrane fusion. The AAA+ ATPase motor cytoplasmic dynein regulates ciliary trafficking, mitotic spindle formation and organelle transport, and dissecting its precise functions has been challenging because of its rapid timescale of action and the lack of cell-permeable, chemical modulators. Here we describe the discovery of ciliobrevins, the first specific small-molecule antagonists of cytoplasmic dynein. Ciliobrevins perturb protein trafficking within the primary cilium, leading to their malformation and Hedgehog signalling blockade. Ciliobrevins also prevent spindle pole focusing, kinetochore-microtubule attachment, melanosome aggregation and peroxisome motility in cultured cells. We further demonstrate the ability of ciliobrevins to block dynein-dependent microtubule gliding and ATPase activity in vitro. Ciliobrevins therefore will be useful reagents for studying cellular processes that require this microtubule motor and may guide the development of additional AAA+ ATPase superfamily inhibitors.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3321072/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3321072/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Firestone, Ari J -- Weinger, Joshua S -- Maldonado, Maria -- Barlan, Kari -- Langston, Lance D -- O'Donnell, Michael -- Gelfand, Vladimir I -- Kapoor, Tarun M -- Chen, James K -- R01 CA136574/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM038839/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM052111/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM052111-14/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM065933/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM52111/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM65933/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 GM71772/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2012 Mar 18;484(7392):125-9. doi: 10.1038/nature10936.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Chemical and Systems Biology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22425997" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: The aim of this study was to expose the inflated 3-D structure of lung elastin. Formic acid digestion followed by freeze-drying unveiled the lamellar framework. The 3-D structure of elastin was well preserved within the alveolar septa and ducts, as demonstrated by scanning electron microscopy/stereo-pair photography. Elastin fibers are seen in the alveolar septa, which are continuous with the lamellae. The removal of collagen fibers and cells by formic acid was visualised as a function of time: The optimum was 48 hours. Transverse sections still retained some collagen fibrils and partially digested cells in addition to elastin as shown by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Forme acid digestion followed by critical point drying caused damage to the lamellar structures and they appeared to collapse. Sodium hydroxide digestion combined with freeze-drying did not preserve the 3-D lamellar structure of elastin, but converted it into flat ribbonlike bands. The main structures remaining following alkali treatment were identified by TEM as collagen fibrils well preserved in their original locations. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    Notes: Biodegradable barrier films were made by coagulating a solution of poly(DL-lactide) in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone on porous polyethylene pads wetted with saline solution. The semisolid films were cut into 10 × 10 mm barriers and implanted subcutaneously in rabbits. At monthly intervals, the polymer implant sites were compared histologically to those implanted with USP negative control plastic. The polymer films were retrieved from the surrounding tissue, dried, weighed, and the changes in molecular weight determined using gel permeation chromatography. The molecular weight of the polymer decreased at a relatively constant rate over 5 months; however, no significant mass loss occurred until 5 months postimplantation. Also, no distinct histological differences were noted between the polymer barrier and the control plastic sites until 6 months when histiocytes and multinucleated giant cells showed a modest increase around fragmented polymer films. Similar barrier films also were fitted over naturally occurring buccal dehiscence defects in beagle dogs and the tissue sites compared histologically at 6 months to sham-operated control sites. New bone and dense connective tissues closely approximated segments of the remaining polymer and demonstrated the biocompatibility of the biodegradable films. Histomorphometric analyses of treated sites compared to sham controls showed that the polymer barrier is effective in promoting bone and cementum regeneration in periodontal defects in dogs. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

    Notes: Alkali digestion has been used to remove cellular elements of tissues thus exposing the underlying connective tissue framework. We studied the action of this severe alkali treatment on the delicate tissues of rat lung. The lungs of male Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused with saline to remove blood and then inflated by fixation through the airways at 20 cm pressure. Sections of lung 2 × 5 × 5 mm were immersed in 2.5 M NaOH at 25°C for 6 h, 16 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. The alkali was changed daily. Tissues were washed to neutral with water (24 h), treated with tannic acid (1%, 3h), post-fixed with osmic acid (1%, 3 h) and processed for SEM. At 6 h, epithelial cells started to peel off the alveolar surface. At 16 h the digestion process was well advanced. At 48 h the cells were completely removed revealing the lattice network of connective tissue fibers within the alveolar surface. The method allows the complete removal of cellular elements of the lung while retaining the very fine 3D structure of the connective tissue matrix.
