Endoplasmic Reticulum and Lysosomal Quality Control of Four Nonsense Mutants of Iduronate 2-Sulfatase Linked to Hunter's Syndrome

Maurizio Molinari, Andrea Cavalli

Hunter's syndrome (mucopolysaccharidosis type II) is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. Motivated by the case of a child affected by this syndrome, we compared the intracellular fate of w ...

Hotair Is Dispensible for Mouse Development

Denis Duboule, Anamaria Necsulea

Despite the crucial importance of Hox genes functions during animal development, the mechanisms that control their transcription in time and space are not yet fully understood. In this context, it was proposed that Hotair, a lncRNA transcribed from within ...

Identifying mutations in Tunisian families with retinal dystrophy

Retinal dystrophies (RD) are a rare genetic disorder with high genetic heterogeneity. This study aimed at identifying disease-causing variants in fifteen consanguineous Tunisian families. Full ophthalmic examination was performed. Index patients were subje ...

A Novel Recessive RPGRIP1 Mutation Causing Leber Congenital Amaurosis

Background: Leber congenital amaurosis is an early-onset childhood severe retinal dystrophy, of significant genetic heterogeneity. RPGRIP1 is ubiquitously expressed, but mutations in RPGRIP1 lead to a retina-restricted phenotype, such as Leber congenital a ...

The Black cells phenotype is caused by a point mutation in the Drosophila pro-phenoloxidase 1 gene that triggers melanization and hematopoietic defects

Bruno Lemaitre, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Claudine Danielle Patricia Öngen, Olivier Binggeli

Melanization contributes to arthropod-specific innate immunity through deposition of melanin at wound sites or around parasites, with concomitant release of microbicidal reactive oxygen species. Melanization requires sequential activation of proteolytic en ...

dRYBP Contributes to the Negative Regulation of the Drosophila Imd Pathway

Bruno Lemaitre, Claudine Danielle Patricia Öngen

The Drosophila humoral innate immune response fights infection by producing antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) through the microbe-specific activation of the Toll or the Imd signaling pathway. Upon systemic infection, the production of AMPs is both positively a ...

Genetic evidence for a protective role of the peritrophic matrix against intestinal bacterial infection in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Olivier Binggeli, Takayuki Kuraishi

The peritrophic matrix (PM) forms a layer composed of chitin and glycoproteins that lines the insect intestinal lumen. This physical barrier plays a role analogous to that of mucous secretions of the vertebrate digestive tract and is thought to protect the ...

Conditional gene targeting of the ENaC subunit genes Scnn1b and Scnn1g

Friedrich Beermann

Epithelial sodium channels (ENaC) are members of the degenerin/ENaC superfamily of non-voltage-gated, highly amiloride-sensitive cation channels that are composed of three subunits (alpha-, beta- and gamma- ENaC). Since complete gene inactivation of the be ...

Bypass of the requirement for cdc16p GAP function in Schizosaccharomyces pombe by mutation of the septation initiation network genes

Viesturs Simanis, Nicolas Fournier

The onset of septum formation in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe is signaled via the spglp GTPase-switch, which is part of the septation initiation network. This is negatively regulated by the two-component GTPase-activating protein (GAP) compr ...
