In contrast, the plasticity zone of C. trachomatis has only two structural genes of tryptophan biosynthesis ( trpEb and trpEa ), and C. muridarum has no tryptophan-pathway genes at all [ 2].
A plant's adaptively variable behavior or plasticity during its lifetime has been described as 'plant intelligence' [ 79] and Ca 2+and its sensors are key players in this adaptive behavior.
Dynamic gene reorganization and gene flux within the chlamydial plasticity zones
Metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) are a family of class 3 G protein-coupled receptors with important functions in the regulation of synaptic transmission, plasticity, neuronal excitability, and the regulation sensory transduction [ 1 2 3 4 5 ] . The eight mGluRs (mGluR1-8) and their splice variants have been divided into three groups (I-III) based on sequence homology, pharmacology and G protein coupling profiles [ 3 6 7 ] . Group II (mGluR2 and 3) and III (mGluR4, and 6 through 8) couple negatively to adenylate cyclase through activation of the G i/o family of G proteins [ 8 ] . Group I mGluRs (mGluR1 and 5) couple to multiple G proteins in native and heterologous systems, and have been observed to couple to G q/11 , G i/o and/or G s [ 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ] . mGluRs appear to be important mediators of synaptic transmission in the brain.
This extraordinary plasticity has a price: V(D)J recombination can produce self-reactive receptors leading to autoimmune disease [ 38, 39] and may err to create oncogenic chromosomal translocations [ 40].
