Human type I interferons protect Vero E6 and ARPE-19 cells against West Nile virus and are neutralized by pathogenic autoantibodies

Alessandro Borghesi

Auto-antibodies (auto-Abs) that neutralize type I interferons (IFNs) have been implicated in severe viral infections, including ~ 40% of cases of West Nile virus (WNV) neuroinvasive disease (WNND). Developing robust in vitro models to evaluate the protecti ...

The genetic architecture of protein interaction affinity and specificity

Alexandra Michaela Bendel

The encoding and evolution of specificity and affinity in protein-protein interactions is poorly understood. Here, we address this question by quantifying how all mutations in one protein, JUN, alter binding to all other members of a protein family, the 54 ...

HaloTag-Based Tools for Live-Cell Imaging and Elucidation of Organellar Redox Biology

Sarah Emmert

Redox homeostasis is a key factor in maintaining cellular function and health. The main determinant of the intracellular redox potential is ubiquitous glutathione (GSH) together with its oxidized dimer (GSSG). Importantly, both redox equilibrium and GSH ho ...

Engineered substrates incapable of induction of chondrogenic differentiation compared to the chondrocyte imprinted substrates

Philippe Renaud, Leila Montazeri

It is well established that surface topography can affect cell functions. However, finding a reproducible and reliable method for regulating stem cell behavior is still under investigation. It has been shown that cell imprinted substrates contain micro- an ...

Screening for drivers of SARS-CoV-2 uptake

Christoph Merten, Alexis Louis Autour

Genetic and cellular drivers of the cellular uptake of SARS-CoV-2 can be screened at high throughput via droplet microfluidics and size-exclusion methods for the analysis of the formation of fusions between cells expressing the virus's spike protein and ce ...

Statistical potentials from the Gaussian scaling behaviour of chain fragments buried within protein globules

Stefano Zamuner

Knowledge-based approaches use the statistics collected from protein data-bank structures to estimate effective interaction potentials between amino acid pairs. Empirical relations are typically employed that are based on the crucial choice of a reference ...

Traction Forces Control Cell-Edge Dynamics and Mediate Distance Sensitivity during Cell Polarization

Alexander Verkhovskiy, Franck Claude Raynaud, Zeno Messi, Alicia Carine Bornert

Traction forces are generated by cellular actin-myosin system and transmitted to the environment through adhesions. They are believed to drive cell motion, shape changes, and extracellular matrix remodeling [1 -3] . However, most of the traction force anal ...

The nuclear receptor corepressor NCoR1 regulates hematopoiesis and leukemogenesis in vivo

Johan Auwerx, Lulu Liu, Wei Zhang

Enhanced understanding of normal and malignant hematopoiesis pathways should facilitate the development of effective clinical treatment strategies for hematopoietic malignancies. Nuclear receptor corepressor 1 (NCoR1) has been implicated in transcriptional ...

A genetic framework controlling the differentiation of intestinal stem cells during regeneration in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Jean Philippe Boquete, Zongzhao Zhai

The speed of stem cell differentiation has to be properly coupled with self-renewal, both under basal conditions for tissue maintenance and during regeneration for tissue repair. Using the Drosophila midgut model, we analyze at the cellular and molecular l ...
