Composition of the DNA-uptake complex of Vibrio cholerae

Melanie Blokesch, Lisa Christina Metzger

Natural competence for transformation is a developmental program that allows certain bacteria to take up free extracellular DNA from the environment and integrate this DNA into their genome. Thereby, natural transformation acts as mode of horizontal gene t ...

MAR-mediated integration of plasmid vectors for in vivo gene transfer and regulation

Andrzej Kulik, Nicolas Mermod, Stefania Puttini, Déborah Ley, Damien Saugy

Background: The in vivo transfer of naked plasmid DNA into organs such as muscles is commonly used to assess the expression of prophylactic or therapeutic genes in animal disease models. Results: In this study, we devised vectors allowing a tight regulatio ...

Dynamic control of endogenous retroviruses during development

Didier Trono, Helen Mary Rowe

Close to half of the human genome encompasses mobile genetic elements, most of which are retrotransposons. These genetic invaders are formidable evolutionary forces that have shaped the architecture of the genomes of higher organisms, with some conserving ...

Inducible Gene and shRNA Expression in Resident Hematopoietic Stem Cells In Vivo

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde, Sonia Verp, Anne Wilson, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) are probably the best understood somatic stem cells and often serve as a paradigm for other stem cells. Nevertheless, most current techniques to genetically manipulate them in vivo are either constitutive, and/or induced in s ...

Inducibility of Drug-metabolizing Enzymes by Xenobiotics in Mice with Liver-specific Knockout of Ctnnb1

Massimiliano Schwarz

Basal as well as xenobiotic-induced expression of the main enzymes from phase I and phase II of drug metabolism is confined to the perivenous areas of the mammalian liver lobule. Whereas signal transduction pathways that govern xenobiotic-induced expressio ...

Modeling an evolutionary conserved circadian cis-element

Felix Naef, Eric Paquet, Guillaume Rey

Circadian oscillator networks rely on a transcriptional activator called CLOCK/CYCLE (CLK/CYC) in insects and CLOCK/BMAL1 or NPAS2/BMAL1 in mammals. Identifying the targets of this heterodimeric basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor poses chal ...

c-Myc and its target FoxM1 are critical downstream effectors of constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) mediated direct liver hyperplasia

Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Christelle Dubey, Armin Ehninger

In the adult liver, 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)] benzene (TCPOBOP), an agonist of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3), produces rapid hepatomegaly in the absence of injury. In this study, we identify c-Myc as a gene induced by CAR and ...

The MAPKKK Mekk1 regulates the expression of Turandot stress genes in response to septic injury in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre

Septic injury triggers a rapid and widespread response in Drosophila adults that involves the up-regulation of many genes required to combat infection and for wound healing. Genome-wide expression profiling has already demonstrated that this response is co ...

Controlled and localized genetic manipulation in the brain

Carl Petersen, Rachel Aronoff

Brain structure and function are determined in part through experience and in part through our inherited genes. A powerful approach for unravelling the balance between activity-dependent neuronal plasticity and genetic programs is to directly manipulate th ...

Mécanismes d'action du TiO2 illuminé sur Escherichia Coli

Gaëtan Gogniat

The increase of bacterial resistance against various disinfection processes is a worrying phenomenon. As a consequence, the search for alternative techniques for fighting micro-organisms has become one of the major issues of these last few years. In this d ...
