Anisotropic Brownian motion in ordered phases of DNA fragments

Using Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching, we investigate the Brownian motion of DNA rod-like fragments in two distinct anisotropic phases with a local nematic symmetry. The height of the measurement volume ensures the averaging of the anisotropy of ...

Functional diversity of reductive dehalogenases in a bacterial consortium degrading chloroethenes

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Géraldine Florence Buttet

Enrichment cultures are investigated for the bioremediation potential of tetrachloroethene (PCE). This process is based on anaerobic respiration in which chlorinated compounds are used as electron acceptors (organohalide respiration, OHR). The key enzyme i ...

Study of Topoisomerase-DNA Interaction Using Atomic Force Microscopy

Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy

The aim of this thesis was to explore the topoisomerase-DNA interactions using atomic force microscopy (AFM) in a liquid environment. Firstly, we present a programmable microcontroller-driven injection system for the exchange of an imaging medium while usi ...

Role of non-specific DNA in reducing coding DNA requirement for transient gene expression with CHO and HEK-293E cells

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Divor Kiseljak, Sagar Shashidhar Manoli

Transient gene expression (TGE) is a rapid method for the production of recombinant proteins in mammalian cells. While the TGE volumetric productivity has improved significantly over the past decade, the amount of plasmid DNA (pDNA) needed for transfection ...

PyroTRF-ID: a novel bioinformatics approach for the identification of terminal-restriction fragments using microbiome pyrosequencing data

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Pierre Rossi, Jacques Rougemont, David Gregory Weissbrodt, Noam Shani, Lucas Sinclair

Aim: In molecular microbial ecology, pyrosequencing is gradually supplanting classical fingerprinting techniques such as terminal-restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) combined with cloning-sequencing for enhanced characterization of microbiome ...

Bimodal control of Hoxd gene transcription in the spinal cord defines two regulatory subclusters

Denis Duboule

The importance of Hox genes in the specification of neuronal fates in the spinal cord has long been recognized. However, the transcriptional controls underlying their collinear expression domains remain largely unknown. Here we show in mice that the corres ...

Integrative Genomics Identifies the Corepressor SMRT as a Gatekeeper of Adipogenesis through the Transcription Factors C/EBPβ and KAISO

Bart Deplancke, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Alina Isakova, Irina Krier

The molecular role of corepressors is poorly understood. Here, we studied the transcriptional function of the corepressor SMRT during terminal adipogenesis. Genome-wide DNA-binding profiling revealed that this corepressor is predominantly located in active ...

FM-AFM constant height imaging and force curves: high resolution study of DNA-tip interactions

Giovanni Dietler, Dusan Vobornik, Livan Bladimir Alonso Sarduy, Andrea Cerreta

Interaction of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip with the sample can be invasive for soft samples. Frequency Modulation (FM) AFM is gentler because it allows scanning in the non-contact regime where only attractive forces exist between the tip and the ...

Naphthalimide-tagged ruthenium-arene anticancer complexes: combining coordination with intercalation

Paul Joseph Dyson, Catherine Marie Amélie Clavel, Fabio Edafe, Kelly Joan Kilpin

Ruthenium(II) arene compounds have been modified with the naphthalimide group, tethered via the arene ligand, i.e. {dichloroeta(6)-N-(phenylalkyl)(4-dimethylamino)-1,8-naphthalimideruthenium(II)} (alkyl = methyl, ethyl, propyl, pta = 1,3,5-triaza-7- ...

Histone monoubiquitylation position determines specificity and direction of enzymatic cross-talk with histone methyltransferases Dot1L and PRC2

Beat Fierz

It is well established that chromatin is a destination for signal transduction, affecting many DNA-templated processes. Histone proteins in particular are extensively post-translationally modified. We are interested in how the complex repertoire of histone ...
