European phylogeography of the epiphytic lichen fungus Lobaria pulmonaria and its green algal symbiont

In lichen symbiosis, fungal and algal partners form close associations, often codispersed by vegetative propagules. Due to the particular interdependence, processes such as colonization, dispersal or genetic drift are expected to result in congruent patter ...

Specific binding of telomeric G-quadruplexes by hydrosoluble perylene derivatives inhibits repeat addition processivity of human telomerase

Joachim Lingner

Telomerase is responsible for the immortal phenotype of cancer cells and telomerase inhibition may specifically target cancer cell proliferation. Ligands able to selectively bind to G-quadruplex telomeric DNA have been considered as telomerase inhibitors b ...

Proteins Binding to and Regulating Human Telomeric Transcripts

Katarzyna Sikora

Telomere are the protective terminal structures of linear chromosomes. The repetitive TTAGGG sequences are bound by the dedicated shelterin complex, as well as by histones carrying modifications characteristic of silent chromatin. Like the centromeric hete ...

Automated protein-DNA interaction screening of Drosophila regulatory elements

Bart Deplancke, Andreas Massouras, Alina Isakova, Julien Bryois, Jean-Daniel Feuz, Antonina Iagovitina

Drosophila melanogaster has one of the best characterized metazoan genomes in terms of functionally annotated regulatory elements. To explore how these elements contribute to gene regulation, we need convenient tools to identify the proteins that bind to t ...

Molecular drug susceptibility testing and genotyping of Mycobacterium leprae strains from South America

Stewart Cole, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh

Possible drug resistance in Mycobacterium leprae strains from Venezuela and three other South American countries was surveyed by molecular methods. None of the 230 strains from new leprosy cases exhibited drug resistance-associated mutations. However, two ...

Structural analysis of intact monoclonal antibodies by electron transfer dissociation mass spectrometry

Florian Maria Wurm, Yury Tsybin, Sophie Nallet, Luca Fornelli, Julien Parra

Improving qualitative and quantitative characterization of monoclonal antibodies is essential, because of their increasing popularity as therapeutic drug targets. Electron transfer dissociation (ETD)-based top-down mass spectrometry (MS) is the method of c ...

A systematic molecular dynamics study of nearest-neighbor effects on base pair and base pair step conformations and fluctuations in B-DNA

John Maddocks

It is well recognized that base sequence exerts a significant influence on the properties of DNA and plays a significant role in protein-DNA interactions vital for cellular processes. Understanding and predicting base sequence effects requires an extensive ...

DNA-centered approaches to characterize regulatory protein–DNA interaction complexes

Bart Deplancke, Jovan Simicevic

Gene regulation is mediated by site-specific DNA-binding proteins or transcription factors (TFs), which form protein complexes at regulatory loci either to activate or repress the expression of a target gene. The study of the dynamic properties of these re ...

Host determinants of HIV-1 control in African Americans

Jacques Fellay

We performed a whole-genome association study of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) set point among a cohort of African Americans (n = 515), and an intronic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the HLA-B gene showed one of the strongest associa ...

Lack of Insertional-Deletional Polymorphism in a Collection of Mycobacterium ulcerans Isolates from Ghanaian Buruli Ulcer Patients

Stewart Cole, Julia Hauser

Mycobacterium ulcerans causes the devastating infectious skin disease Buruli ulcer and has a monomorphic population structure. The resolution of conventional genetic fingerprinting methods is therefore not sufficient for microepidemiological studies aiming ...
