MeCP2-E1 isoform is a dynamically expressed, weakly DNA-bound protein with different protein and DNA interactions compared to MeCP2-E2

Jose Vicente Sanchez Mut

Background: MeCP2-a chromatin-binding protein associated with Rett syndrome-has two main isoforms, MeCP2-E1 and MeCP2-E2, differing in a few N-terminal amino acid residues. Previous studies have shown brain region-specific expression of these isoforms whic ...

The interactome of KRAB zinc finger proteins reveals the evolutionary history of their functional diversification

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Julien Léonard Duc, Michaël Imbeault, Andrea Coluccio, Julien Paul André Pontis, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid, Cécile Piot, Ruedi Aebersold

Krüppel‐associated box (KRAB)‐containing zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) are encoded in the hundreds by the genomes of higher vertebrates, and many act with the heterochromatin‐inducing KAP1 as repressors of transposable elements (TEs) during early embryogene ...

Mild inborn errors of metabolism in commonly used inbred mouse strains

Johan Auwerx, Wei Zhang, Evan Graehl Williams

Inbred mouse strains are a cornerstone of translational research but paradoxically many strains carry mild inborn errors of metabolism. For example, alpha-aminoadipic acidemia and branched-chain ketoacid dehydrogenase deficiency are known in C57BL/6J mice. ...

Properties of LINE-1 proteins and repeat element expression in the context of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert

BackgroundAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease involving loss of motor neurons and having no known cure and uncertain etiology. Several studies have drawn connections between altered retrotransposon expression and ALS. C ...

Explore RdhK based regulatory network of organohalide respiration using a hybrid proteins strategy

Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Mathilde Stéphanie Willemin

Reductive dehalogenase (rdh) gene clusters encode for proteins involved in organohalide respiration (OHR), a bacterial process where organohalide compounds are used as terminal electron acceptors. RdhK proteins, members of the CRP/FNR family of transcripti ...

Long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1, L1) is a mobile genetic element comprising about 17% of the human genome. L1 utilizes an endonuclease to insert L1 cDNA into the target genomic DNA, which induces double-strand DNA breaks in the human genome and activat ...

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 ...

KRAB zinc-finger proteins contribute to the evolution of gene regulatory networks

Didier Trono, Michaël Imbeault, Pierre-Yves Joseph Laurent Helleboid

The human genome encodes some 350 Kruppel-associated box (KRAB) domain-containing zinc-finger proteins (KZFPs), the products of a rapidly evolving gene family that has been traced back to early tetrapods(1,2). The function of most KZFPs is unknown, but a f ...

Functional Characterization of Nucleoid Associated Proteins Acting as Global Transcription Factors in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Nina Theres Odermatt

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 ...

Rhythmic and clock-dependent chromatin loops regulate circadian gene expression

Jérôme Mermet

In mammals the circadian clock drives daily behavioural and physiological changes that resonate with environmental cues, which can be observed, for example, in the intricate timing of rest during the night and activity during the day in humans. The circadi ...
