Annual Review of Cell Biology

An update of the current understanding of areas in cell and developmental biology from which to launch experiments furthering a detailed molecular understanding of the cell. The 22 reports discuss such aspects as the genetics of transcriptional regulation in yeast and its connections to the RNA polymerase III CTD, microtubule polymerization dynamics, the genetic analysis of the actin cytoskeleton in the Drosophila ovary, adipocyte differentiation and leptin expression, the initiation of DNA replication in eukaryotic cells, bacterial cell division, and the design plan of kinesin motors. Includes a subject index for the volume, and subject and author indexes for volumes 9-13. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology

Spudich J a Ed

Papers collected here reflect the ongoing revolution in biosciences and the breakdown of barriers between chemistry, physics, engineering, and biology. Subjects include functions of lipid rafts in biological membranes, intracellular pathogens and the actin cytoskeleton, bioluminescence, mitochondrial dynamics in yeast, the specification of leaf identity during shoot development, and intracellular signaling from the endoplasmic reticulum to the nucleus. Includes bandw and a few color diagrams. Price is $140.00 for institutions. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Steven L. McKnight

Some topics covered in this tenth volume include small GTP-binding proteins and the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton; signal sequence recognition and protein targeting to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane; vertebrate limb development; microtubules in plant morphogenesis; structure of actin-binding proteins; dyneins; cell biology of the amyloid B-protein precursor and the mechanism of Alzheimer's disease; and structure, regulation, and function of NF-kB.
