[2005/05/18] Design Language Gushes Out of Article Describing Cell Quality Control
Design Language Gushes Out of Article Describing Cell Quality Control 05/18/2005
Here are the design words found in a press release from Michigan State describing the editing mechanisms of the cell DNA-to-RNA transcription process: high fidelity, quality control, inner workings, genetic coding, exquisite nanotechnology in living systems, genetic control, blueprint for life, industrial assembly line, conveyor belt, preloading, criteria, backs up to correct the error, sensed and corrected, acceptable level of error required for the speed at which cells must reproduce, elegance of cell creation, fidelity mechanism, tried and true design, and enduring design. Here are the words in the press release describing the evolution of this system: [null].
The aspect of transcription that so impressed the researchers was the ability of RNA polymerase (the main transcription machine) to preload bases before need: ¡°Preloading of NTPs [nucleoside triphosphates, the ¡°letters¡± of RNA code] hints at a previously unknown quality control station to maintain accuracy of RNA synthesis,¡± the article states (emphasis added in all quotes). ¡°We¡¯re able to show how an error will be sensed and corrected,¡± said Team member Zachary Burton. ¡°The quality control system checks NTP loading several ways. If it doesn¡¯t match the criteria, it gets booted out.¡± Details of the research were published in Molecular Cell.1 Another statement by Burton encapsulated the tone of their study: ¡°RNA polymerase is one of nature¡¯s great designs.¡±
1Gong et al., ¡°Dynamic Error Correction and Regulation of Downstream Bubble Opening by Human RNA Polymerase II,¡± Molecular Cell, Volume 18, Issue 4, 13 May 2005, Pages 461-470, doi:10.1016/j.molcel.2005.04.011
This is how science should be done. No useless Darwinspeak, just careful analysis of design when design is evident. Neither the formal paper nor the press release contained any mention of evolution. Instead, the language of design was shown to be both useful and appropriate in a purely scientific discussion.
By the way, the research focused on human RNA polymerase. The press release was titled, ¡°High fidelity keeps human DNA assembly line humming.¡± All that quality control is on your assembly line, keeping you humming. Need a tune to hum? Try this.
