Mechanistic insights into AMP-activated protein kinase-dependent gene expression

AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a fundamental enzyme that controls energy homeostasis, through orchestrating the cellular response to a reduction in energy availability. Under conditions of cellular energy stress AMPK senses the decrease in ATP leve ...

Quantitative relationships between SMAD dynamics and target gene activation kinetics in single live cells

Felix Naef, David Michael Suter, Torgil Elias Friman, Onur Tidin

The transduction of extracellular signals through signaling pathways that culminate in a transcriptional response is central to many biological processes. However, quantitative relationships between activities of signaling pathway components and transcript ...

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 ...

Tissue-specific enhancer repression through molecular integration of cell signaling inputs

Bart Deplancke

Drosophila leg morphogenesis occurs under the control of a relatively well-known genetic cascade, which mobilizes both cell signaling pathways and tissue-specific transcription factors. However, their cross-regulatory interactions, deployed to refine leg p ...

Identification and functional characterization of protein kinases that modulate Notch signaling under physiological conditions and in cancer

Chhavi Jain

The Notch signaling pathway is a key regulator of cell fate decisions in embryonic development and in adult tissue homeostasis. Mounting evidence suggests that Notch signaling is frequently deregulated in human neoplasms, where depending upon the cellular ...

MicroRNA Profile in CD8+T-Lymphocytes from HIV-Infected Individuals: Relationship with Antiviral Immune Response and Disease Progression

Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert

Background The relationship between host microRNAs (miRNA), viral control and immune response has not yet been elucidated in the field of HIV. The aim of this study was to assess the differential miRNA profile in CD8+ T-cells between HIV-infected individua ...

Identification of potential HIV restriction factors by combining evolutionary genomic signatures with functional analyses

Amalio Telenti, Danielle Thompson, Daniel Sauter, Jérémie Perreaud

Background: Known antiretroviral restriction factors are encoded by genes that are under positive selection pressure, induced during HIV-1 infection, up-regulated by interferons, and/or interact with viral proteins. To identify potential novel restriction ...

GuavaH: a compendium of host genomic data in HIV biology and disease

Jacques Fellay, Amalio Telenti, Istvan Bartha

Background: There is an ever-increasing volume of data on host genes that are modulated during HIV infection, influence disease susceptibility or carry genetic variants that impact HIV infection. We created GuavaH (Genomic Utility for Association and Viral ...

Assessing the role of Hes1 and identification of target genes in human and murine T-ALL

Silvia Wirth

The Notch signalling pathway is an ancient cell signalling mechanism that enables short-range communications between cells and controls a broad spectrum of cell fates and developmental processes. In the haematopoietic system Notch signalling has been linke ...
