Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 Transactivator Tax Exploits the XPB Subunit of TFIIH during Viral Transcription

Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) Tax oncoprotein is required for viral gene expression. Tax transactivates the viral promoter by recruiting specific transcription factors but also by interfering with general transcription factors involved in ...

In this paper, we introduce the MIDI Degradation Toolkit (MDTK), containing functions which take as input a musical excerpt (a set of notes with pitch, onset time, and duration), and return a ``degraded'' version of that excerpt with some error (or errors) ...

Beyond silence : a functional and evolutionary study of KRAB zinc finger proteins

Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid

Transposable elements (TEs) are genetic units capable of spreading within the genomes of their host. TEs contribute a readily recognizable 45% of the human DNA, reflecting in part their co-option for some as source of protein-coding sequences, for others a ...

Exploring on Protein-DNA interactions

Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

A variety of DNA-binding proteins organizes the chromosomal DNA and regulates gene transcription, and DNA replication and recombination. In particular, for gene regulation there is a category of DNA-binding proteins, the transcription factors, which can de ...

Quantitative single cell dynamics of signaling and transcriptional response in mammalian cells

Onur Tidin

Cells live in ever-changing environments, thereby facing a variety of dynamic environmental signals. Environmental stimuli elicit intracellular responses through signaling pathways, which converge on transcriptional activation or repression of target genes ...

DNA encrypts the composition of the cellular material that is synthesized through transcription and translation. Never-theless, gene regulation mechanisms determine the final amount of transcribed and translated material. Transcription factors (TF) are a c ...

A practical qPCR approach to detect TERRA, the elusive telomeric repeat-containing RNA

Joachim Lingner, Marianna Feretzaki

Telomeres, the heterochromatic structures that protect the ends of the chromosomes, are transcribed into a class of long non-coding RNAs, telomeric repeat-containing RNAs (TERRA), whose transcriptional regulation and functions are not well understood. The ...

Genomic targets and molecular partners of the chromatin regulator KAP1

Annamaria Kauzlaric

KAP1 is an enigmatic regulatory protein, first described some twenty years ago, shown to be involved in multiple and diverse cellular functions. Specifically, it mediates tasks critical to cell growth and differentiation, pluripotency, apoptosis, gene sile ...

The fatal lung disease tuberculosis is caused by the airborne Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a versatile pathogen adapted to rapidly changing environments. Instead of being eradicated by phagocytic cells of its human host, bacilli tune macrophages to support ...

EPFL2017

Transcription represents a key regulatory step in gene expression and transcription factors (TFs) are the key molecular players of this process. TFs inhibit or promote the assembly of the transcriptional machinery by binding DNA and several co-factors. Whe ...
