Mitochondrial haplotypes affect metabolic phenotypes in the Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel

Johan Auwerx, Bart Deplancke, Virginie Sandra Braman, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Maria Litovchenko, Brian Dennis Hollis, Roel Paulus Josephus Bevers

The nature and extent of mitochondrial DNA variation in a population and how it affects traits is poorly understood. Here we resequence the mitochondrial genomes of 169 Drosophila Genetic Reference Panel lines, identifying 231 variants that stratify along ...

The Demographic History of African Drosophila melanogaster

Jeffrey David Jensen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Susanne Petra Pfeifer, Stefan Jean Laurent

As one of the most commonly utilized organisms in the study of local adaptation, an accurate characterization of the demographic history of Drosophila melanogaster remains as an important research question. This owes both to the inherent interest in charac ...

Computational and Statistical analyses of Molecular Evolution and Demography using Large-scale Sequencing Data

Adamantia Kapopoulou

Evolution can be described as the change of allele frequencies over time. Four forces - mutation, migration, genetic drift, and selection, drive this change. The aim of my thesis was to accurately estimate and differentiate the parameters governing each of ...

The evolution of gene expression and binding specificity of the largest transcription factor family in primates

Didier Trono, Jeffrey David Jensen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Lisha Mathew

The KRAB-containing zinc finger (KRAB-ZF) proteins represent the largest family of transcription factors (TFs) in humans, yet for the great majority, their function and specific genomic target remain unknown. However, it has been shown that a large fractio ...

Release of human cytomegalovirus from latency by a KAP1/TRIM28 phosphorylation switch

Didier Trono, Isabelle Barde, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Marco Cassano, Suk Min Jang, Benjamin Rauwel

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a highly prevalent pathogen that induces life-long infections notably through the establishment of latency in hematopoietic stem cells (HSC). Bouts of reactivation are normally controlled by the immune system, but can be fat ...

Loss of transcriptional control over endogenous retroelements during reprogramming to pluripotency

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Bastien Mangeat, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Gabriela Ecco, Marc Samuel Friedli, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Benjamin Rauwel, Helen Mary Rowe, Carmen Maria Unzu Ezquerro

Endogenous retroelements (EREs) account for about half of the mouse or human genome, and their potential as insertional mutagens and transcriptional perturbators is suppressed by early embryonic epigenetic silencing. Here, we asked how ERE control is maint ...

Control of mitophagie by microRNAs - A key step of erythropoiesis

Didier Trono, Jiri Vanicek, Isabelle Barde, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Sonia Verp, Andrea Corsinotti, Ray Marcel Marin Florez, Benjamin Rauwel

A KRAB/KAP1-miRNA Cascade Regulates Erythropoiesis Through Stage-Specific Control of Mitophagy

Didier Trono, Jiri Vanicek, Sandra Eloise Kjeldsen, Isabelle Barde, Sonia Verp, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Andrea Corsinotti, Benjamin Rauwel, Ray Marcel Marin Florez

During hematopoiesis, lineage- and stage-specific transcription factors work in concert with chromatin modifiers to direct the differentiation of all blood cells. Here, we explored the role of KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) and their cofa ...

Global and stage specific patterns of krüppel-associated-box zinc finger protein gene expression in murine early embryonic cells

Didier Trono, Bart Deplancke, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Andrea Corsinotti, Michaël Imbeault, Yoann Mouscaz, Carine Delattre-Gubelmann, Helen Mary Rowe

Highly coordinated transcription networks orchestrate the self-renewal of pluripotent stem cell and the earliest steps of mammalian development. KRAB-containing zinc finger proteins represent the largest group of transcription factors encoded by the genome ...
