Efficient and sensitive profiling of RNA–protein interactions using TLC-CLIP

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Christina Ernst

RNA-binding proteins are instrumental for post-transcriptional gene regulation, controlling all aspects throughout the lifecycle of RNA molecules. However, transcriptome-wide methods to profile RNA-protein interactions in vivo remain technically challengin ...

Recombinant Full-Length TDP-43 Oligomers Retain Their Ability to Bind RNAs, Are Not Toxic, and Do Not Seed TDP-43 Aggregation in Vitro

Hilal Lashuel, Yllza Jasiqi, Lixin Yang

TAR DNA-binding protein with 43 kD (TDP-43) is a partially disordered protein that misfolds and accumulates in the brains of patients affected by several neurodegenerative diseases. TDP-43 oligomers have been reported to form due to aberrant misfolding or ...

Comprehensive analysis of the circadian nuclear and cytoplasmic transcriptome in mouse liver

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Benjamin Dieter Weger, Clémence Yumie Syloun Hurni

In eukaryotes, RNA is synthesised in the nucleus, spliced, and exported to the cytoplasm where it is translated and finally degraded. Any of these steps could be subject to temporal regulation during the circadian cycle, resulting in daily fluctuations of ...

LncRNA Ctcflos orchestrates transcription and alternative splicing in thermogenic adipogenesis

Bart Deplancke, Petra Catalina Schwalie

The recruitment of thermogenic brite adipocytes within white adipose tissue attenuates obesity and metabolic comorbidities, arousing interest in understanding the underlying regulatory mechanisms. The molecular network of brite adipogenesis, however, remai ...

The phase separation-dependent FUS interactome reveals nuclear and cytoplasmic function of liquid-liquid phase separation

Helen Lindsay

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins and RNAs has emerged as the driving force underlying the formation of membrane-less organelles. Such biomolecular condensates have various biological functions and have been linked to disease. The protein F ...

Circadian dynamics of RNA localisation in the mammalian liver

Clémence Yumie Syloun Hurni

Gene expression in eukaryotes is a complex multi-step process. It starts in the nucleus with transcription, the synthesis of a mRNA copy from a DNA template. While in the nucleus, the RNA transcript is subject to multiple co- and post-transcriptional modif ...

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 ...

cis-regulatory variation modulates susceptibility to enteric infection in the Drosophila genetic reference panel

Bart Deplancke, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Riccardo Dainese, Maria Litovchenko, Michael Vincent Frochaux, Dani Osman, Brian Dennis Hollis, Virginie Sandra Braman

Background: Resistance to enteric pathogens is a complex trait at the crossroads of multiple biological processes. We have previously shown in the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) that resistance to infection is highly heritable, but our understan ...

Mild inborn errors of metabolism in commonly used inbred mouse strains

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams

Inbred mouse strains are a cornerstone of translational research but paradoxically many strains carry mild inborn errors of metabolism. For example, alpha-aminoadipic acidemia and branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase deficiency are known in C57BL/6J mice. ...

Weevil pgrp-lb prevents endosymbiont TCT dissemination and chronic host systemic immune activation

Florent François Masson, João Pedro Alves Da Silva

Long-term intracellular symbiosis (or endosymbiosis) is widely distributed across invertebrates and is recognized as a major driving force in evolution. However, the maintenance of immune homeostasis in organisms chronically infected with mutualistic bacte ...

Distribution of the ribosome associated endonuclease Rae1 and the potential role of conserved amino acids in codon recognition

Jérémie Piton

We recently identified a novel ribonuclease in Bacillus subtilis called Rae1 that cleaves mRNAs in a translation-dependent manner. Rae1 is a member of the NYN/PIN family of ribonucleases and is highly conserved in the Firmicutes, the Cyanobacteria and the ...
