Epigenetic memory aids: Synaptic and molecular effects of HDAC inhibition that support memory formation

Learning and memory rely on synaptic communication in which intracellular signals are transported to the nucleus to stimulate transcriptional activation. Memory induced transcriptional increases are accompanied by alterations to the epigenetic landscape an ...

Quantitative single cell dynamics of signaling and transcriptional response in mammalian cells

Onur Tidin

Cells live in ever-changing environments, thereby facing a variety of dynamic environmental signals. Environmental stimuli elicit intracellular responses through signaling pathways, which converge on transcriptional activation or repression of target genes ...

Functional Characterization of Nucleoid Associated Proteins Acting as Global Transcription Factors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Nina Theres Odermatt

The fatal lung disease tuberculosis is caused by the airborne Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a versatile pathogen adapted to rapidly changing environments. Instead of being eradicated by phagocytic cells of its human host, bacilli tune macrophages to support ...

Rhythmic modulation of transcriptional burst frequency in circadian gene promoters

Damien Lionel Nicolas

Isogenic cells sharing a common environment present a large degree of heterogeneity in gene expression, and stochasticity inherent to transcription substantially participates in this cell-to-cell variability. Notably, a majority of mammalian genes are tran ...

Phase specific transcriptional regulation of circadian clock and metabolism in mouse liver

Jonathan Aryeh Sobel

The molecular clock has been conserved from cyanobacteria to mammals and is believed to align behavioral and biochemical processes with the diurnal cycle. This cellular mechanism has been an advantage to increase the fitness of organisms through the abilit ...

Development and application of experimental tools to elucidate the gene regulatory network underlying adipogenesis

Carine Delattre-Gubelmann

Excess fat mass in obese individuals, which is characterized by an increase of white adipocyte cell size and number, significantly raises the risk of developing metabolic syndrome symptoms as well as cancer. A detailed understanding of the transcriptional ...

Kinetic Analysis of Transcriptional and Post-Transcriptional Processes During Circadian Cycles

Laura Symul

Every morning the sun rises, flooding the earth with its light and heat and every night it disappears leaving the Earth in the darkness of the night. Organisms living on this planet have adapted to this solar rhythm and have spread their activities through ...

Diversity of cobalamin riboswitches in the corrinoid-producing organohalide respirer Desulfitobacterium hafniense

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Emmanuelle Rohrbach, Aurélie Duret

The strategic adaptation of prokaryotes in polluted niches involves the efficient regulation of their metabolism. The obligate anaerobe and metabolically versatile Desulfitobacterium hafniense reductively dechlorinates halogenated organic compounds (so-cal ...

RNA-Protein interactions at AU-rich elements

Ramona Pauchard-Batschulat

The expression of many proto-oncogenes, nuclear transcription factors and cytokines is regulated post-transcriptionally by specific interactions between distinct cis-elements within the mRNA and trans-acting factors that bind to these elements and thereby ...

Human-Specific Histone Methylation Signatures at Transcription Start Sites in Prefrontal Neurons

Jeffrey David Jensen

Cognitive abilities and disorders unique to humans are thought to result from adaptively driven changes in brain transcriptomes, but little is known about the role of cis-regulatory changes affecting transcription start sites (TSS). Here, we mapped in huma ...
