Context-dependent enhancer function revealed by targeted inter-TAD relocation

Denis Duboule, Lucille Delisle, Guillaume Andrey, Christopher Chase Bolt, Aurélie Hintermann

Here the authors show that a strong enhancer sequence can be controlled by the chromatin environment provided by a topologically associated domain (TAD) located nearby. An enhancer relocated by homologous recombination takes all the hallmarks of its new ne ...

Functional analysis of Bicc1 and novel interacting proteins in renal tubule cell metabolism and polycystic kidneys

Lucía Carolina Leal Esteban

Genetic disorders known as ciliopathies develop polycystic kidneys, including autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney diseases (ADPKD and ARPKD). Several signaling pathways including the cAMP/PKA pathway are implicated in driving cyst ...

Identification of the inactivating factors and mechanisms exerted on MS2 coliphage in concentrated synthetic urine

Tamar Kohn, Loïc Decrey

Volume reduction (condensation) is a key for the practical usage of human urine as a fertilizer because it enables the saving of storage space and the reduction of transportation cost. However, concentrated urine may carry infectious disease risks resultin ...

A role for HOX13 proteins in the regulatory switch between TADs at the HoxD locus

Denis Duboule, Leonardo Beccari, Anamaria Necsulea, Nicolas Lonfat, Edgardo Rodriguez Carballo, Nayuta Yakushiji

During vertebrate limb development, Hoxd genes are regulated following a bimodal strategy involving two topologically associating domains (TADs) located on either side of the gene cluster. These regulatory landscapes alternatively control different subsets ...

Analysis of the mouse Scnn1a promoter in cortical collecting duct cells and in transgenic mice

Friedrich Beermann, Sébastien Kohler

We have isolated and characterised the promoter of the mouse Scnn1a (alpha ENaC) gene. Using transient transfections of serial deletion mutants into Scnn1a-expressing cells, we demonstrate that 1.56 kb of 5' upstream sequence is required for cell-specific ...

A mouse model for the renal salt-wasting syndrome pseudohypoaldosteronism

Qian Wang, Friedrich Beermann

Aldosterone-dependent epithelial sodium transport in the distal nephron is mediated by the absorption of sodium through the highly selective, amiloride-sensitive epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) made of three homologous subunits (alpha, beta, and gamma). I ...

Axial heterogeneity of apical water permeability along rabbit kidney proximal tubule

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg

In the rabbit nephron, the luminal membrane surface area of the proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) is more than twice that of the proximal straight tubule (PST). What seemed to be an increase in histological specialization in solute and water transport is cu ...
