An optimized high throughput platform, from genetic transformation to fermentation, to screen for secreted laccases in Aspergillus niger

Laure Marie Colette Leynaud-Kieffer Curran

Many challenges are faced in the conversion of biomass into advanced biofuels, one of which is finding the correct organism for the job. The filamentous fungus Aspergillus niger has been chosen as a biocatalyst for cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin degr ...

Integrative transcriptome analyses of Transposable Elements (TEs) and genes contribute to a better understanding of colorectal cancer

Eunji Shin

Cancer is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Cancer develops through multiple hallmark functions including apoptosis evasion, unlimited replicative potential, metastasis, and immune avoidance. Over the past few decades, researchers have reported ...

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 ...

Spectroelectrochemical and Chemical Evidence of Surface Passivation at Zinc Ferrite (ZnFe 2 O 4 ) Photoanodes for Solar Water Oxidation

Michael Graetzel, Kevin Sivula, Mounir Driss Mensi, Meng Xia, Liang Yao, Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Dan Ren, Yongpeng Liu

Recent advances in low‐cost manufacturing as well as in bulk/interface engineering have positioned zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4, ZFO) in the spotlight as a candidate material for solar water oxidation. However, the severe recombination at the reactive interface r ...

Centromeres are dismantled by foundational meiotic proteins Spo11 and Rec8

Eftychia Kyriacou

Meiotic processes are potentially dangerous to genome stability and could be disastrous if activated in proliferative cells. Here we show that two key meiosis-defining proteins, the topoisomerase Spo11 (which forms double-strand breaks) and the meiotic coh ...

Histone acetylation dynamics modulates chromatin conformation and allele-specific interactions at oncogenic loci

Elisa Oricchio, Natalya Katanayeva, Daniele Tavernari, Stephanie Jocelyne Sungalee, Ruxandra-Andreea Lambuta, Giovanni Ciriello

In cancer cells, enhancer hijacking mediated by chromosomal alterations and/or increased deposition of acetylated histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27ac) can support oncogene expression. However, how the chromatin conformation of enhancer-promoter interactions is a ...

Reduced NCOR2 expression accelerates androgen deprivation therapy failure in prostate cancer

Gerard Llimos Aubach

This study addresses the roles of nuclear receptor corepressor 2 (NCOR2) in prostate cancer (PC) progression in response to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Reduced NCOR2 expression significantly associates with shorter disease-free survival in patients ...

Passivating Polysilicon Recombination Junctions for Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells

Christophe Ballif, Franz-Josef Haug, Aïcha Hessler-Wyser, Quentin Thomas Jeangros, Andrea Ingenito, Audrey Marie Isabelle Morisset, Philippe Wyss, Mario Joe Lehmann

Polysilicon recombination junctions whose n-type bottom layers double as a passivating contact to the silicon surface are investigated. Such recombination junctions are a key element in the interconnection of tandem devices with a silicon bottom cell, and ...

Cell-autonomous inflammation of BRCA1-deficient ovarian cancers drives both tumor-intrinsic immunoreactivity and immune resistance via STING

Julien Dorier, George Coukos, Christian Iseli, Mauro Delorenzi, Alizée Jéléna Grimm, Giovanni Ciriello, Alexandre Harari, Marco Mina

In this study, we investigate mechanisms leading to inflammation and immunoreactivity in ovarian tumors with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). BRCA1 loss is found to lead to transcriptional reprogramming in tumor cells and cell-intrinsic inflammat ...

Structural transitions and mechanochemical coupling in the nucleoprotein filament explain homology selectivity and Rad51 protein cooperativity in cellular DNA repair

Daniel Migliozzi

The nucleoprotein filament (NPF) is the fundamental element of homologous recombination (HR), a major mechanism for the repair of double-strand DNA breaks in the cell. The NPF is made of the damaged DNA strand surrounded by recombinase proteins, and its se ...
