COP Coated Vesicles00:59

COP Coated Vesicles

7.9K
Membrane-enclosed structures called vesicles transport proteins and lipids across the cell. The vesicles derive their cargo from the plasma membrane, Golgi, ER, or endosome. Coated vesicles are spherical, protein-coated carriers with a 50–100 nm diameter that mediate bidirectional transport between the ER and the Golgi. The distribution of proteins between the ER and Golgi complex is dynamic and is maintained by different coated vesicles. Their formation is driven by the assembly of...

Cofactors and Coenzymes01:24

Cofactors and Coenzymes

11.1K
Enzymes are proteins made of amino acids. The functional group of each constituent amino acid catalyzes a wide variety of chemical reactions via ionic interactions or acid-base reactions. However, amino acids cannot catalyze oxidation-reduction and group transfer reactions and need to be aided by non-protein components called cofactors. Cofactors are also referred to as the chemical teeth of an enzyme.
Cofactors can be metallic ions or organic molecules called coenzymes. These types of helper...

Cohesion01:07

Cohesion

54.4K
Cohesion is the attraction between molecules of the same type, such as water molecules. Water molecules have an overall neutral charge but are polar molecule. An oxygen atom in one water molecule has a partial negative charge that can bind to a hydrogen atom with a partial positive charge in a second water molecule, forming a hydrogen bond. Each water molecule can form up to four hydrogen bonds with other water molecules. Hydrogen bonds are responsible for water's cohesive nature.

Cohesins

4.6K
Cohesin protein complexes are a molecular glue that holds two sister chromatids together. They play an important role both in mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, all cohesin complexes present on the chromosomes are removed before the start of the anaphase stage.
Cohesin complexes in Meiotic Division
Meiosis involves two distinct rounds of chromosomal segregation and cell divisions— Meiosis I followed by Meiosis II – producing four daughter cells. Meiosis I includes the separation of...

Colloids

17.6K
Children at play often make suspensions such as mixtures of mud and water, flour and water, or a suspension of solid pigments in water known as tempera paint. These suspensions are heterogeneous mixtures composed of relatively large particles that are visible to the naked eye or can be seen with a magnifying glass. They are cloudy, and the suspended particles settle out after mixing. On the other hand, a solution is a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs and in which the dissolved...

Couple01:29

Couple

476
A couple is a pair of parallel forces equal in magnitude but in opposite directions. The forces are separated by a perpendicular distance, known as the couple's arm. The couple causes a rotation force or moment that rotates the body about an axis perpendicular to the plane of the forces. The resulting moment is referred to as the couple moment. The SI unit of a couple moment is the Newton-meter (N-m).
A typical example to understand this concept is tightening a bolt with a lug wrench. A...

Area of Science:

  • Marine biology
  • Ecosystem dynamics
  • Ocean acidification research

Background:

  • Biological burrowing behavior is crucial for ecosystem structure.
  • Ocean acidification poses a threat to these behaviors.
  • The neurological mechanisms underlying these effects are not well understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of elevated pCO2 on the burrowing behavior of Manila clams (Ruditapes philippinarum).
  • To elucidate the neurological mechanisms, specifically the role of the GABAA receptor, involved in these behavioral changes.

Main Methods:

  • Exposure of Manila clams to elevated pCO2 conditions.
  • Observation and quantification of burrowing behaviors (foot contraction, burrowing time, movement, depth).
  • Measurement of extracellular pH and bicarbonate levels.
  • In situ hybridization to assess GABAA receptor distribution and mRNA levels.
  • Quantification of GABA concentration.

Main Results:

  • Elevated pCO2 significantly altered burrowing behaviors, including increased foot contraction, burrowing time, and movement, with decreased burrowing depth.
  • Exposure to elevated pCO2 led to decreased extracellular pH and increased [HCO3-].
  • GABAA receptor mRNA levels and GABA concentration increased under elevated pCO2.
  • The GABAA receptor function shifted from inhibitory to excitatory, driving increased foot contraction.

Conclusions:

  • Elevated pCO2 disrupts acid-base homeostasis in Manila clams.
  • This disruption alters GABAA receptor function, changing it from inhibitory to excitatory.
  • The altered GABAA receptor function directly impacts burrowing behavior, highlighting a key neurological mechanism affected by ocean acidification.
