Telomere protection against oxidative stress

Thu Trang Nguyen

Telomeres are nucleoprotein structures at the ends of linear chromosomes, being essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Telomeres have a unique structure which distinguishes chromosome termini from DNA damage sites. Shelterin complexes are the ...

Emerging dimensions of cellular cGAS-STING signaling

Andrea Ablasser, Baptiste Claude André Guey

The recognition of DNA through the cGAS-STING pathway plays a critical role in antiviral immunity, but can also drive maladaptive immune responses underlying several pathological conditions. Despite its importance, understanding the organization of cGAS-ST ...

cGAS regulation and activity during genotoxic stress

Sélène-Véronique Glück

The innate immune system has evolved to detect pathogens through germlineencoded pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Nucleic acid sensors, a defined class of PRRs, bind to microbial and viral nucleic acids and trigger the production of type I interferons ...

Structural mechanism of cGAS inhibition by the nucleosome

Beat Fierz, Andrea Ablasser, Rudolf Hovius, Simone Cavadini, Kristina Makasheva, Baptiste Claude André Guey, Alexiane Clara Decout, Sélène-Véronique Glück, Pauline Ambre Melenec

The DNA sensor cGAS initiates innate immune responses following microbial infection, cellular stress, and cancer1. Upon activation by double-stranded DNA, cytosolic cGAS produces 2’3’ cyclic GMP-AMP and triggers inflammatory cytokine and type I interferon ...

Machine Learning Identifies Stemness Features Associated with Oncogenic Dedifferentiation

Jia Liu, Jian Wang, Jun Li, Min Wang

Cancer progression involves the gradual loss of a differentiated phenotype and acquisition of progenitor and stem-cell-like features. Here, we provide novel stemness indices for assessing the degree of oncogenic dedifferentiation. We used an innovative one ...

Functional characterization of the TERRA transcriptome at damaged telomeres

Joachim Lingner, Jacques Rougemont, Antonio Porro, Sascha Feuerhahn

Telomere deprotection occurs during tumorigenesis and aging upon telomere shortening or loss of the telomeric shelterin component TRF2. Deprotected telomeres undergo changes in chromatin structure and elicit a DNA damage response (DDR) that leads to cellul ...

Genome-Wide Evaluation of Histone Methylation Changes Associated with Leaf Senescence in Arabidopsis

Nishanth Ulhas Nair

Leaf senescence is the orderly dismantling of older tissue that allows recycling of nutrients to developing portions of the plant and is accompanied by major changes in gene expression. Histone modifications correlate to levels of gene expression, and this ...

Consistency of fetal cell banks for research and clinical use

Dominique Pioletti, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate

Current restrictions for human cell-based therapies have been related to technological limitations with regards to cellular proliferation capacity and maintenance of differentiated phenotype for primary human cell culture. In our experience, we have seen t ...

Telomere length homeostasis

Joachim Lingner

The physical ends of chromosomes, known as telomeres, protect chromosome ends from nucleolytic degradation and DNA repair activities. Conventional DNA replication enzymes lack the ability to fully replicate telomere ends. In addition, nucleolytic activitie ...
