Role and regulation of the melanization reaction in Drosophila immune response

Olivier Binggeli

In arthropods, the melanization reaction consists in the rapid synthesis of melanin at the site of infection and injury. A key enzyme in the melanization process is phenoloxidase (PO), which catalyzes the oxidation of phenols to quinones that subsequently ...

Topology and dynamics of the zebrafish segmentation clock core circuit

Bart Deplancke, Sebastian Maerkl, Andrew Charles Oates, Alina Isakova, Daniele Soroldoni

During vertebrate embryogenesis, the rhythmic and sequential segmentation of the body axis is regulated by an oscillating genetic network termed the segmentation clock. We describe a new dynamic model for the core pace-making circuit of the zebrafish segme ...

TransFLP - A Method to Genetically Modify Vibrio cholerae Based on Natural Transformation and FLP-recombination

Melanie Blokesch

Several methods are available to manipulate bacterial chromosomes(1-3). Most of these protocols rely on the insertion of conditionally replicative plasmids (e.g. harboring pir-dependent or temperature-sensitive replicons(1,2)). These plasmids are integrate ...
