Multilevel regulation of the glass locus during Drosophila eye development

Bart Deplancke, Michael Vincent Frochaux, Abhishek Kumar Mishra

Development of eye tissue is initiated by a conserved set of transcription factors termed retinal determination network (RDN). In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, the zinc-finger transcription factor Glass acts directly downstream of the RDN to contr ...

Dual-controlled optogenetic system for the rapid down-regulation of protein levels in mammalian cells

Patrick Andreas Gonschorek

Optogenetic switches are emerging molecular tools for studying cellular processes as they offer higher spatiotemporal and quantitative precision than classical, chemical-based switches. Light-controllable gene expression systems designed to upregulate prot ...

Bicistronic aav vector for rna interference in als

Bernard Schneider, Cylia Cloé Rochat

The present invention relates to a bicistronic expression vector for silencing a gene specifically in astrocytes and neurons, comprising two expression cassettes comprising a first and a second silencer sequence, respectively, wherein the expression of sai ...

SMiLE-seq identifies binding motifs of single and dimeric transcription factors

Didier Trono, Bart Deplancke, Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Riccardo Dainese, Daniel Alpern, Michaël Imbeault, Romain Fernand Pietro Groux, Alina Isakova, Pernille Yde Rainer

Resolving the DNA-binding specificities of transcription factors (TFs) is of critical value for understanding gene regulation. Here, we present a novel, semiautomated protein-DNA interaction characterization technology, selective microfluidics-based ligand ...

Systems Chronobiology: Global Analysis of Gene Regulation in a 24-Hour Periodic World

Felix Naef, Jake Yeung, Jérôme Mermet

Mammals have evolved an internal timing system, the circadian clock, which synchronizes physiology and behavior to the daily light and dark cycles of the Earth. The master clock, located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the brain, takes fluctuating ...

Influence of Rotational Nucleosome Positioning on Transcription Start Site Selection in Animal Promoters

Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, René Dreos

The recruitment of RNA-Pol-II to the transcription start site (TSS) is an important step in gene regulation in all organisms. Core promoter elements (CPE) are conserved sequence motifs that guide Pol-II to the TSS by interacting with specific transcription ...

Population Variation and Genetic Control of Modular Chromatin Architecture in Humans

Bart Deplancke, David Hacker, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Nouria Hernandez, Gilles Udin, Alisa Yurovsky, Sarah Thurnheer

Chromatin state variation at gene regulatory elements is abundant across individuals, yet we understand little about the genetic basis of this variability. Here, we profiled several histone modifications, the transcription factor (TF) PU.1, RNA polymerase ...

Nucleosome Stability Distinguishes Two Different Promoter Types at All Protein-Coding Genes in Yeast

Jacques Rougemont, Philippe Jacquet

Previous studies indicate that eukaryotic promoters display a stereotypical chromatin landscape characterized by a well-positioned +1 nucleosome near the transcription start site and an upstream 1 nucleosome that together demarcate a nucleosome-free (or -d ...

Nonlinearity arising from noncooperative transcription factor binding enhances negative feedback and promotes genetic oscillations

Andrew Charles Oates, Daniele Soroldoni

We study the effects of multiple binding sites in the promoter of a genetic oscillator. We evaluate the regulatory function of a promoter with multiple binding sites in the absence of cooperative binding, and consider different hypotheses for how the numbe ...
