Exploring the role of transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes in mRNA co-expression

Benjamin Joao Clément Antonin Hadrien Martin

Co-expression of two or more genes at the single-cell level is usually associated with functional co-regulation. While mRNA co-expression-measured as the correlation in mRNA levels-can be influenced by both transcriptional and post-transcriptional events, ...

Core-shell Structured Chitosan-polyethylenimine Nanoparticles for Gene Delivery: Improved Stability, Cellular Uptake, and Transfection Efficiency

Sandrine Gerber, Perrine Agnes Edith Robin, Laura Camille Louise Nicolle

Gene therapy emerged as a promising treatment option for acquired and inherited diseases. The delivery of nucleic acids relies on vectors that condense and encapsulate their cargo. Especially non-viral gene delivery systems are of increasing interest. Howe ...

Functional and Computational Genomics Reveal Unprecedented Flexibility in Stage-Specific Toxoplasma Metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Damien Lionel Nicolas

To survive and proliferate in diverse host environments with varying nutrient availability, the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii reprograms its metabolism. We have generated and curated a genome-scale metabolic model (iTgo) for the fast-re ...

Enteric infection induces Lark-mediated intron retention at the 5 ' end of Drosophila genes

Bart Deplancke, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Dani Osman, Michael Vincent Frochaux

Background RNA splicing is a key post-transcriptional mechanism that generates protein diversity and contributes to the fine-tuning of gene expression, which may facilitate adaptation to environmental challenges. Here, we employ a systems approach to study ...

Exciton dynamics in DNA oligomers studied by broadband deep-UV transient absorption spectroscopy

Majed Chergui, Malte Oppermann, Benjamin Bauer

We report broadband transient absorption measurements of adenine strands in the deep-UV (250-370 nm). By varying the strand length we resolve the interplay between inter-base stacking and exciton formation and dynamics in DNA oligomers. ...

Casein kinase 2 mediated phosphorylation of Spt6 modulates histone dynamics and regulates spurious transcription

Eric Paquet

CK2 is an essential protein kinase implicated in various cellular processes. In this study, we address a potential role of this kinase in chromatin modulations associated with transcription. We found that CK2 depletion from yeast cells leads to replication ...

NAD(+) repletion improves muscle function in muscular dystrophy and counters global PARylation

Johan Auwerx, Carlos Canto Alvarez, Laurent Mouchiroud, Dongryeol Ryu, Hongbo Zhang, Vincenzo Sorrentino, Keir Joe Menzies, Xu Wang, Karim Laurent Gariani

Neuromuscular diseases are often caused by inherited mutations that lead to progressive skeletal muscle weakness and degeneration. In diverse populations of normal healthy mice, we observed correlations between the abundance of mRNA transcripts related to ...

ALDH1A3 loss of function causes bilateral anophthalmia/microphthalmia and hypoplasia of the optic nerve and optic chiasm

The major active retinoid, all-trans retinoic acid, has long been recognized as critical for the development of several organs, including the eye. Mutations in STRA6, the gene encoding the cellular receptor for vitamin A, in patients with MatthewWood syndr ...

Abcb4 acts as multixenobiotic transporter and active barrier against chemical uptake in zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos

Kristin Schirmer

Background: In mammals, ABCB1 constitutes a cellular "first line of defense" against a wide array of chemicals and drugs conferring cellular multidrug or multixenobiotic resistance (MDR/MXR). We tested the hypothesis that an ABCB1 ortholog serves as protec ...

The transcriptional landscape of hematopoietic stem cell ontogeny

Olaia Maria Naveiras Torres-Quiroga

Transcriptome analysis of adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and their progeny has revealed mechanisms of blood differentiation and leukemogenesis, but a similar analysis of HSC development is lacking. Here, we acquired the transcriptomes of developing ...

A Male with Unilateral Microphthalmia Reveals a Role for TMX3 in Eye Development

Anophthalmia and microphthalmia are important birth defects, but their pathogenesis remains incompletely understood. We studied a patient with severe unilateral microphthalmia who had a 2.7 Mb deletion at chromosome 18q22.1 that was inherited from his moth ...

Lineage-specific transcriptional regulation of DICER by MITF in melanocytes

Friedrich Beermann

DICER is a central regulator of microRNA maturation. However, little is known about mechanisms regulating its expression in development or disease. While profiling miRNA expression in differentiating melanocytes, two populations were observed: some upregul ...

A systematic molecular dynamics study of nearest-neighbor effects on base pair and base pair step conformations and fluctuations in B-DNA

John Maddocks

It is well recognized that base sequence exerts a significant influence on the properties of DNA and plays a significant role in protein-DNA interactions vital for cellular processes. Understanding and predicting base sequence effects requires an extensive ...

Dose optimization for long-term rAAV-mediated RNA interference in the nigrostriatal projection neurons

Patrick Aebischer

Short-hairpin RNA (shRNA)-mediated gene knockdown is a powerful tool for targeted gene silencing and an emerging novel therapeutic strategy. Recent publications, however, reported unexpected toxicity after utilizing viral-mediated shRNA knockdown in vivo. ...

Synthesis of uniform, non-natural oligomers

Harm-Anton Klok, Nadja Franz

Oligomers with well-defined chain lengths are of interest as foldamers, are important as model compounds for high-molecular-weight polymers and find application in electrooptic and sensory devices. This account presents an overview of the strategies that a ...

Disassembly of polyethylenimine-DNA particles in vitro: implications for polyethylenimine-mediated DNA delivery

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Martin Jordan, Martin Bertschinger, Gaurav Backliwal

Here a simple in vitro assay was used to investigate the disassembly of nanoparticles of polyethylenimine (PEI) and DNA. Particles were formed with various PEIs, allowed to mature for 10 min, and then exposed to different competitors (RNA, DNA, BSA or hepa ...
