Differential contribution of nuclear size scaling mechanisms between Xenopus species

Christoph Merten

Size of the nucleus, a membrane-bound organelle for DNA replication and transcription in eukaryotic cells, varies to adapt nuclear functions to the surrounding environment. Nuclear size strongly correlates with cytoplasmic size and genomic content. Previou ...

Azide-Containing Hypervalent Iodine Reagents for Biomolecules Functionalization

Raphaël Michel Henri Simonet-Davin

The goal of my PhD was the development of a new method for unselective surface labeling, not substrate-specific, that would give access to direct visualization of any surface interactions. In order to achieve this challenging goal, we wanted to develop a g ...

Actuated 3D microgels for single cell mechanobiology

Mahmut Selman Sakar, Ece Özelçi, Berna Ayse Özkale Edelmann, Christina Myra Tringides

We present a new cell culture technology for large-scale mechanobiology studies capable of generating and applying optically controlled uniform compression on single cells in 3D. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are individually encapsulated inside an optical ...

The makings of TERRA R-loops at chromosome ends

Joachim Lingner, Marianna Feretzaki, Rita Valador Fernandes

Telomeres protect chromosome ends from nucleolytic degradation, uncontrolled recombination by DNA repair enzymes and checkpoint signaling, and they provide mechanisms for their maintenance by semiconservative DNA replication, telomerase and homologous reco ...

TFIIH moonlighting at telomeres

Joachim Lingner, Galina Glousker

Although telomeres are essential for chromosome stability, they represent fragile structures in our genome. Telomere shortening occurs during aging in cells lacking telomerase due to the end replication problem. In addition, recent work uncovered that the ...

Gentle nano-electrospray ion source for reliable and efficient generation of microsolvated ions

Oleg Boyarkine, Vladimir Kopysov, Andrei Zviagin

We present herein the design of a nano-electrospray ion source capable of reliable generation of large quantities of microsolvated ions. The source is based on a triple molecular skimmer scheme and can be quickly tuned to generate bare ions or their ionic ...

Small peptide diversification through photoredox-catalyzed oxidative C-terminal modification

Jérôme Waser, Eliott Hugo Joran Le Du, Marion Marie-Agnès Garreau

A photoredox-catalyzed oxidative decarboxylative coupling of small peptides is reported, giving access to a variety of N,O-acetals. They were used as intermediates for the addition of phenols and indoles, leading to novel peptide scaffolds and bioconjugate ...

Dissecting the role of the asparagine synthesis in acute liver injury

Yu Sun

Amino acids are some of the main building stones of life used in a variety of biological processes, such as protein synthesis, energy metabolism or even as precursors for hormone synthesis. How-ever, some of them also participate and coordinate certain cel ...

A Role for Human DNA Polymerase λ in Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres

Joachim Lingner, Liuh-Yow Chen

Telomerase negative cancer cell types use the Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT) pathway to elongate telomeres ends. Here, we show that silencing human DNA polymerase (Pol λ) in ALT cells represses ALT activity and induces telomeric stress. In addi ...

A minimalistic cyclic ice-binding peptide from phage display

Harm-Anton Klok, Luciano Andres Abriata, Xudong Kong, Corey Alfred Stevens

Developing molecules that emulate the properties of naturally occurring ice-binding proteins (IBPs) is a daunting challenge. Rather than relying on the (limited) existing structure–property relationships that have been established for IBPs, here we report ...

Postnatal expansion of mesenteric lymph node stromal cells towards reticular and CD34(+) stromal cell subsets

Bart Deplancke, Vincent Roland Julien Gardeux, Julie Marie Russeil, Maria Litovchenko, Guido Van Mierlo, Wanze Chen, Jörn Pezoldt, Marjan Biocanin

Gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (LN) provide the framework to shape intestinal adaptive immune responses. Based on the transcriptional signatures established by our previous work, the composition and immunomodulatory function of LN stromal cells (SC) v ...

A satellite DNA array barcodes chromosome 7 and regulates totipotency via ZFP819

Didier Trono, Gabriela Ecco

Mammalian genomes are a battleground for genetic conflict between repetitive elements and KRAB-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs). We asked whether KZFPs can regulate cell fate by using ZFP819, which targets a satellite DNA array, ZP3AR. ZP3AR coats megabase reg ...

Reactions of amines with ozone and chlorine: Two novel oxidative methods to evaluate the N-DBP formation potential from dissolved organic nitrogen

Karim-Alexandre Essaied, Urs von Gunten

The composition of oxidant-reactive dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) is poorly characterized, although its ozonation is likely to form a great variety of disinfection by-products containing a nitrogen-oxygen bond (NDBPs). In this study, two chemical oxidat ...

The human telomeric proteome during telomere replication

Chih-Yi Gabriela Lin, Joachim Lingner, Aleksandra Vancevska, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Gérald Joseph Paul Lossaint

Telomere shortening can cause detrimental diseases and contribute to aging. It occurs due to the end replication problem in cells lacking telomerase. Furthermore, recent studies revealed that telomere shortening can be attributed to difficulties of the sem ...
