  2. Article ; Online: LdtC Is a Key l,d-Transpeptidase for Peptidoglycan Assembly in Mycobacterium smegmatis.

    Abstract: The peptidoglycan of mycobacteria has two types of direct cross-links, classical 4-3 cross-links that occur between diaminopimelate (DAP) and alanine residues, and nonclassical 3-3 cross-links that occur between DAP residues on adjacent peptides. The 3-3 ...

    Abstract The peptidoglycan of mycobacteria has two types of direct cross-links, classical 4-3 cross-links that occur between diaminopimelate (DAP) and alanine residues, and nonclassical 3-3 cross-links that occur between DAP residues on adjacent peptides. The 3-3 cross-links are synthesized by the concerted action of d,d-carboxypeptidases and l,d-transpeptidases (Ldts). Mycobacterial genomes encode several Ldt proteins that can be classified into six classes based upon sequence identity. As a group, the Ldt enzymes are resistant to most β-lactam antibiotics but are susceptible to carbapenem antibiotics, with the exception of LdtC, a class 5 enzyme. In previous work, we showed that loss of LdtC has the greatest effect on the carbapenem susceptibility phenotype of Mycobacterium smegmatis (also known as Mycolicibacterium smegmatis) compared to other

    Abstract The claustrum is a thin, irregular, sheet-like neuronal structure hidden beneath the inner surface of the neocortex in the general region of the insula. Its function is enigmatic. Its anatomy is quite remarkable in that it receives input from almost all regions of cortex and projects back to almost all regions of cortex. We here briefly summarize what is known about the claustrum, speculate on its possible relationship to the processes that give rise to integrated conscious percepts, propose mechanisms that enable information to travel widely within the claustrum and discuss experiments to address these questions.

    Abstract A manuscript on allostery signed by Francis Crick and Jeffries Wyman was sent by Crick to Jacques Monod in 1965. Monod transmitted a copy of the manuscript, upon which he had written several comments, to Jean-Pierre Changeux, then a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California Berkeley in the laboratory of Howard Schachman. Changeux provided a copy to Stuart Edelstein, a graduate student in the same laboratory. The manuscript was never submitted for publication, but Edelstein retained his copy since that time and has edited it for publication in the special issue on allostery. The text emphasized the interpretation of the properties of an allosteric oligomer by characterizing its equivalent monomer. The text also developed the concept of the allosteric range and included a simple equation for calculation of the Hill coefficient from the parameters of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model.

    Abstract Here we summarize our present approach to the problem of consciousness. After an introduction outlining our general strategy, we describe what is meant by the term 'framework' and set it out under ten headings. This framework offers a coherent scheme for explaining the neural correlates of (visual) consciousness in terms of competing cellular assemblies. Most of the ideas we favor have been suggested before, but their combination is original. We also outline some general experimental approaches to the problem and, finally, acknowledge some relevant aspects of the brain that have been left out of the proposed framework.

    Abstract The neuronal basis of consciousness is the greatest challenge to the scientific worldview. Much relevant empirical work is carried out on the minimal neuronal mechanisms underlying any one specific conscious percept. Two broad approaches are popular among brain scientists: electrophysiological recordings from individual neurons in the cortex of behaving monkeys or behavior combined with functional brain imaging in humans. However, many aspects of consciousness are problematic or remain off-limits to the former approach, while the latter one lacks sufficient spatial and temporal resolution to monitor individual neurons that are key to perception, thought, memory, and action. It is here that neurosurgeons, probing the living human brain on a daily basis, can play a decisive role. This article explores the contributions of neurosurgeons to this quest and outlines some of the results that have already been achieved.

    Abstract Das Bewusstsein ist eines der letzten großen ungelösten Rätsel der Wissenschaft - und sicherlich das größte der Biologie. Wir können den salzigen Geschmack von Kartoffel-Chips spüren, den unverkennbaren Geruch von Hunden wahrnehmen, wenn sie im Regen waren, und kennen das besondere Gefühl, wenn man nur an den Fingerkuppen hängend viele Meter über dem sicheren Boden in einer Felswand klettert. Wie können diese Eindrücke aus den Neuronen und den mit ihnen assoziierten Synapsen und molekularen Prozessen entstehen? Ausgehend von umfangreichen anatomischen, physiologischen, klinischen, psychologischen und philosophischen Ansätzen und Daten umreißt dieses anspruchsvolle Sachbuch die wissenschaftliche Grundlage von Bewusstsein, zeigt die Grenzen unseres Wissens auf und beschreibt Versuche, die durchgeführt werden müssen, um dieses Rätsel erfolgreich abzuschließen
