Species-specific regulation of XIST by the JPX/FTX orthologs

X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is an essential process, yet it initiates with remarkable diversity in various mammalian species. XIST, the main trigger of XCI, is controlled in the mouse by an interplay of lncRNA genes (LRGs), some of which evolved concom ...

Genotype-Dependent Kinetics of Enterovirus Inactivation by Free Chlorine and Ultraviolet (UV) Irradiation

Tamar Kohn, Shotaro Torii

Inactivation kinetics of enterovirus by disinfection is often studied using a single laboratory strain of a given genotype. Environmental variants of enterovirus are genetically distinct from the corresponding laboratory strain, yet it is poorly understood ...

The Metal Catalyst Influences the Kinetics and Mechanisms of MS2 Inactivation in Fenton-like Systems

Tamar Kohn, Jessica Ivana Nieto Juarez

Human enteric viruses are frequent microbial contaminants of surface water and groundwater. Waterborne viruses can be effectively inactivated by oxidants, such as those generated in Fenton-like systems. However, the mechanisms by which this inactivation oc ...

Analogies and differences among bacterial and viral disinfection by the photo-Fenton process at neutral pH: a mini review

Stefanos Giannakis

Over the last years, the photo-Fenton process has been established as an effective, green alternative to chemical disinfection of waters and wastewaters. Microorganisms' inactivation is the latest success story in the application of this process at near-ne ...

Solar disinfection (SODIS) of viruses in PET bottles

Tamar Kohn, Anna Carratala Ripolles, Michael Jon Mattle, Alex Dionisio Calado

Solar disinfection of drinking water in PET bottles (SODIS) is a simple point-of-use technique efficient for the inactivation of many bacterial pathogens. In contrast, the efficiency of SODIS toward viruses is not well known. In this work, we studied the i ...

Hygiene considerations during the collection, storage and processing of source-separated urine into a marketable fertilizer

Tamar Kohn, Simon Schindelholz, Manfred Schoger

Laboratory and field studies along with inactivation data from the literature are used to model bacteria inactivation during urine storage and struvite production. The model is used to evaluate urine storage and struvite drying under the fluctuating temper ...

The modulatory function of individual microRNAs (miRNAs) in Notch-driven T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALLs) has recently been established. Although protumorigenic and tumor-suppressive miRNAs are implicated in disease onset in murine models of N ...

Spatial separation of Xist RNA and polycomb proteins revealed by superresolution microscopy

Marion Leleu

In female mammals, one of the two X chromosomes is transcriptionally silenced to equalize X-linked gene dosage relative to XY males, a process termed X chromosome inactivation. Mechanistically, this is thought to occur via directed recruitment of chromatin ...

Inactivation of brain Cofilin-1 by age, Alzheimer's disease and gamma-secretase

Patrick Fraering, Sébastien Mosser, Eugenio Barone

Rapid remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton in the pre- and/or post-synaptic compartments is responsible for the regulation of neuronal plasticity, which is an important process for learning and memory. Cofilin1 plays an essential role in these processes an ...

Mechanisms of Human Adenovirus Inactivation by Sunlight and UVC Light as Examined by Quantitative PCR and Quantitative Proteomics

Tamar Kohn, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Franziska Sara Bosshard

Human adenoviruses (HAdV) are important pathogens in both industrialized and developing nations. HAdV has been shown to be relatively resistant to monochromatic UVC. Polychromatic UVC, in contrast, is a more effective means of disinfection, presumably due ...
