Modulation of the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX in a yeast - based model organism

Georges Wagnières, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli

The main aim of this study was to assess conditions at which simple yeast-based model organism produces maximal levels of protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) after an exogenous administration of its precursor, 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), and the ferrous-ion chelator ...

Transcription-induced supercoiling explains formation of self-interacting chromatin domains in S-pombe

Yannis Burnier, Julien Dorier, Fabrizio Benedetti

The question of how self-interacting chromatin domains in interphase chromosomes are structured and generated dominates current discussions on eukaryotic chromosomes. Numerical simulations using standard polymer models have been helpful in testing the vali ...

A new promoter element associated with daily time keeping in Drosophila

Felix Naef, Eric Paquet

Circadian clocks are autonomous daily timekeeping mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt to environmental rhythms as well as temporally organize biological functions. Clock-controlled timekeeping involves extensive regulation of rhythmic gene expression. ...

An automated microreactor for semi-continuous biosensor measurements

Philippe Renaud, Harald Van Lintel, Nina Buffi

Living bacteria or yeast cells are frequently used as bioreporters for the detection of specific chemical analytes or conditions of sample toxicity. In particular, bacteria or yeast equipped with synthetic gene circuitry that allows the production of a rel ...

Castles fall from inside: Evidence for dominant internal photo-catalytic mechanisms during treatment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae by photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH

César Pulgarin, Sami Rtimi, Stefanos Giannakis, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

In this work, the antimicrobial effects of the photo-Fenton process on yeast cells were tested (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), an essential eukaryotic unicellular model of living cells. Near-neutral pH was used in all studies, while iron sulfate and iron citra ...

Optimization and characterization of the endogenous production of protoporphyrin IX in a yeast model

Georges Wagnières, Matthieu Philippe Emmanuel Zellweger, Jaroslava Joniová, Emmanuel Louis Arthur Gerelli

The availability of reproducible, convenient, and inexpensive model organisms able to generate predictable levels of endogenous porphyrins, including protoporphyrin IX (PpIX), is essential in photomedicine research. Saccharomyces cerevisiae produces endoge ...

Efficient Shape Priors for Spline-Based Snakes

Michaël Unser, Daniel Andreas Schmitter, Ricard Delgado Gonzalo, Virginie Sophie Uhlmann

Parametric active contours are an attractive approach for image segmentation, thanks to their computational efficiency. They are driven by application-dependent energies that reflect the prior knowledge on the object to be segmented. We propose an energy i ...

Adaptation on a genomic scale

Jacques Fellay, Istvan Bartha

Sequencing the genome of Candida albicans as it evolves in a patient reveals the genetic changes that allow the yeast to adapt to its environment. ...

Merging microfluidics and micro-array concepts: from molecular to nematode-based bioassays

Matteo Cornaglia

Essential in biomedical research is the necessity of gathering statistically relevant data about large populations of specific biological entities, e.g. organisms, cells or molecules, while preserving detailed information about each single entity under in ...

A formin-nucleated actin aster concentrates cell wall hydrolases for cell fusion in fission yeast

Arne Seitz, Thierry Laroche, Omaya Pierre Dudin

Cell-cell fusion is essential for fertilization. For fusion of walled cells, the cell wall must be degraded at a precise location but maintained in surrounding regions to protect against lysis. In fission yeast cells, the formin Fus1, which nucleates linea ...

An Extended, Boolean Model of the Septation Initiation Network in S-pombe Provides Insights into Its Regulation

Viesturs Simanis, Andrea Krapp

Cytokinesis in fission yeast is controlled by the Septation Initiation Network (SIN), a protein kinase signaling network using the spindle pole body as scaffold. In order to describe the qualitative behavior of the system and predict unknown mutant behavio ...
