The PIAS homologue Siz2 regulates perinuclear telomere position and telomerase activity in budding yeast

Budding yeast telomeres are reversibly bound at the nuclear envelope through two partially redundant pathways that involve the Sir2/3/4 silencing complex and the Yku70/80 heterodimer(1,2). To better understand how this is regulated, we studied the role of ...

A Novel Yeast-Based Platform for Small Molecule Target Deconvolution Reveals Previously Unknown Binding Partners for the Approved Drugs Erlotinib, Atorvastatin, and Sulfasalazine

Christopher Chidley

The identification of all protein targets of a small molecule drug, i.e. target deconvolution, provides the basis for understanding its beneficial or deleterious actions. Target deconvolution remains a major and often problematic task within the biotechnol ...

Multiple-frequency Impedance Measurements in Continuous Flow for the Evaluation of Electrical Lysis of Yeast Cells

Philippe Renaud, Niccolo Piacentini, Willyan Hasenkamp Carreira

his paper reports on an electrical lysis device with integrated cell counting and evaluation of the lysis efficiency by multiplefrequency impedance measurements. Conventional techniques use chemical reagents to lyse cells, causing unwanted interference wit ...

A miniaturized continuous dielectrophoretic cell sorter and its applications

Philippe Renaud, Thomas Michael Braschler, Nicolas Demierre, Ana Valero

There is great interest in highly sensitive separation methods capable of quickly isolating a particular cell type within a single manipulation step prior to their analysis. We present a cell sorting device based on the opposition of dielectrophoretic forc ...

GTPase Activity Plays a Key Role in the Pathobiology of LRRK2

Darren Moore

Mutations in the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene are associated with late-onset, autosomal-dominant, familial Parkinson's disease (PD) and also contribute to sporadic disease. The LRRK2 gene encodes a large protein with multiple domains, includin ...

Stringent requirement for HRD1, SEL1L, and OS-9/XTP3-B for disposal of ERAD-L-S substrates

Maurizio Molinari, Riccardo Bernasconi

Sophisticated quality control mechanisms prolong retention of protein-folding intermediates in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) until maturation while sorting out terminally misfolded polypeptides for ER-associated degradation (ERAD). The presence of structu ...

Deciphering Translation - a Genome-Wide Analysis of Translation Limitations and Competitions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Julien Racle

Protein synthesis is one of the central elements in every living cell. For this process, the mRNAs coding for genes are simultaneously competing for the same translation machinery, i.e. for the same ribosomes and the same protein building blocks, the amino ...

Evolution of nucleosomes position in yeasts: conservation of global pattern and divergence of gene-specific patterns

Sébastien Dubuis

This master project describes computational analysis of nucleosomes positioning in four yeast species: S. cerevisiae, S. kudriavzevii, S. bayanus (three relatively close species, ~75% of sequence similarity) and C. glabrata (more distant, ~57% of sequence ...

WebPrInSeS: automated full-length clone sequence identification and verification using high-throughput sequencing data

Bart Deplancke, Andreas Massouras, Frederik Decouttere

High-throughput sequencing (HTS) is revolutionizing our ability to obtain cheap, fast and reliable sequence information. Many experimental approaches are expected to benefit from the incorporation of such sequencing features in their pipeline. Consequently ...

Fuel bioethanol production from whey permeate

François-Nicolas de Glutz

The objective of this thesis was to evaluate the feasibility for the production of fuel bioethanol from whey permeate. The identification of the limiting factors of the process revealed that the stabilization of the substrate was critical to the use of whe ...
