Spreading of Chromatin Modifications02:25

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

9.5K
The histone proteins in the nucleosomes are post-translationally modified (PTM) to increase or decrease access to DNA. The commonly observed PTMs are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination of lysine amino acids in the histone H3 tail region. These histone modifications have specific meaning for the cell. Hence, they are called "histone code". The protein complex involved in histone modification is termed as "reader-writer" complex.

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Patch Clamp

Many fundamental cell functions such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission rely on the electrical signals produced by the movement of positively and negatively charged ions across the cell membrane. One competent method to record current flowing across the whole cell or single ion channel is the patch-clamp technique.
In this method, a glass micropipette containing electrolyte solution is tightly sealed against a small portion of the cell membrane. As a result, a patch of the cell...

Introduction to Virus

1.8K
Viruses are unique biological entities that blur the boundary between living and non-living systems. Although they lack cellular structure and metabolic processes, they can exhibit characteristics of life when infecting a host. Their defining feature is a nucleic acid core, composed of either DNA or RNA, encapsulated within a protein coat called a capsid. This simple structure allows them to invade host cells and use their machinery for replication efficiently.Viral Structure and...

Viruses of Archaea

Archaeal viruses play a crucial role in the ecosystems of extremophilic archaea, particularly those belonging to the phyla Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota. By shaping host evolution and facilitating gene transfer, these viruses influence microbial communities and contribute to genetic diversity in extreme environments. The archaea they infect thrive in acidic hot springs and hydrothermal vents characterized by high temperatures and low pH. Archaeal viruses exhibit remarkable structural...

Summary

This study models West Nile virus transmission between two regions using a two-patch model. Bird migration drives disease spread, with high transmission rates leading to endemic West Nile virus in both areas.

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Mathematical Biology
  • Ecology

Background:

  • West Nile virus (WNV) poses a significant public health concern.
  • Understanding WNV transmission dynamics is crucial for effective control strategies.
  • Previous models often simplify geographic interactions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and analyze a two-patch mathematical model for WNV spread.
  • To incorporate host bird mobility between discrete geographic regions.
  • To determine the impact of bird migration on WNV transmission dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • A two-patch mathematical model was formulated.
  • The next generation matrix method was used to compute the basic reproduction number (R0).
  • Stability analysis of disease-free and endemic equilibria was performed.
  • Perturbation theory and numerical simulations were employed.

Main Results:

  • The basic reproduction number (R0) was calculated.
  • Global asymptotic stability of the disease-free equilibrium was proven when R0 < 1.
  • Global asymptotic stability of the endemic equilibrium was proven when R0 > 1.
  • Numerical simulations showed WNV becomes endemic in both patches with bird migration.

Conclusions:

  • Bird mobility significantly influences WNV transmission patterns.
  • The model provides insights into WNV spread in interconnected populations.
  • Complex dynamics arise from bird movement, necessitating further investigation.
