Vibrio cholerae pathogenicity island 2 encodes two distinct types of restriction systems

Melanie Blokesch, David William Adams, Alexandre Lemopoulos, Grazia Vizzarro

In response to predation by bacteriophages and invasion by other mobile genetic elements such as plasmids, bacteria have evolved specialised defence systems that are often clustered together on genomic islands. The O1 El Tor strains of Vibrio cholerae resp ...

Robust designation of meiotic crossover sites by CDK-2 through phosphorylation of the MutS gamma complex

Alexander Woglar

Crossover formation is essential for proper segregation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. Here, we show that Caenorhabditis elegans cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK-2) partners with cyclin-like protein COSA-1 to promote crossover formation by promoti ...

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 ...

m6A methylation potentiates cytosolic dsDNA recognition in a sequence-specific manner

Andrea Ablasser, Muhammet Fatih Gülen

Nucleic acid sensing through pattern recognition receptors is critical for immune recognition of microbial infections. Microbial DNA is frequently methylated at the N-6 position of adenines (m6A), a modification that is rare in mammalian host DNA. We show ...

Site-Specific Protein Conjugation onto Fluorescent Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Shang-Jung Wu, Vitalijs Zubkovs

Semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are among the few photostable optical emitters that are ideal for sensing, imaging, drug delivery, and monitoring of protein activity. These applications often require strategies for immobilizing prote ...

Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase

David Michael Suter, Cédric Deluz, Torgil Elias Friman, Andrea Brigitta Alber, Mahé Cécile Raccaud

Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their nuclear mobility and sequence-specific/non-specific DNA binding. How these properties affect their ability to occupy specific genomic sites and modify the epigenetic landscape is unclear. The as ...

Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase

Mahé Cécile Raccaud

Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their nuclear mobility and sequence-specific/non-specific DNA binding affinity. How these properties affect the ability of TFs to occupy their specific binding sites in the genome and modify the epige ...

Modeling and analysis of parts and devices of genetic regulation

Yves Berset

DNA encrypts the composition of the cellular material that is synthesized through transcription and translation. Never-theless, gene regulation mechanisms determine the final amount of transcribed and translated material. Transcription factors (TF) are a c ...

Perovskite/Perovskite/Silicon Monolithic Triple-Junction Solar Cells with a Fully Textured Design

Christophe Ballif, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Florent Sahli, Arnaud Walter, Sylvain Nicolay, Björn Niesen, Jérémie Werner, Fan Fu

High efficiency triple-junction solar cells are currently made of III−V semiconductors using expensive deposition methods. Perovskite/perovskite/silicon monolithic triple-junction solar cells could be a lower-cost alternative as no epitaxial growth is requ ...

MAR-Mediated transgene integration into permissive chromatin and increased expression by recombination pathway engineering

Christian Iseli, Nicolas Mermod, Thomas Junier, Samuel Neuenschwander, Ioannis Xenarios

Untargeted plasmid integration into mammalian cell genomes remains a poorly understood and inefficient process. The formation of plasmid concatemers and their genomic integration has been ascribed either to non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) or homologous r ...
