Immeuble collectif et aménagement urbain des toitures du quartier nubien d’Alexandrie. Réactivation d’une identité culturelle et architecturale oubliée

Situé à Alexandrie proche du centre ville, le quartier EL Ezba abrite une population majoritairement nubienne. Au fil des années, son identité a progressivement disparu alors que le nombre d’habitants et de voitures ne cessait d’augmenter. Il est donc impo ...

A conditional glutamatergic synaptic vesicle marker for Drosophila

Evelyne Ruchti, Brian Donal McCabe

Glutamate is a principal neurotransmitter used extensively by the nervous systems of all vertebrate and invertebrate animals. It is primarily an excitatory neurotransmitter that has been implicated in nervous system development, as well as a myriad of brai ...

Highly motile nanoscale magnetic artificial cilia

Yves Bellouard, Tanveer Ul Islam

Among the many complex bioactuators functioning at different scales, the organelle cilium represents a fundamental actuating unit in cellular biology. Producing motions at submicrometer scales, dominated by viscous forces, cilia drive a number of crucial b ...

Assessment of abundance and community composition of benthic macroinvertebrates: recommendations for improved sampling, fixation and extraction of oligochaetes

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Régis Lionel Vivien

For several decades, the abundance and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates have been studied to assess the biological quality of aquatic ecosystems. Procedures aiming at studying the whole of macroinvertebrate communities were mainly designed ...

Functional kleptoplasts intermediate incorporation of carbon and nitrogen in cells of the Sacoglossa sea slug Elysia viridis

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Michael Kühl

Some sacoglossan sea slugs incorporate intracellular functional algal chloroplasts, a process termed kleptoplasty. "Stolen" chloroplasts (kleptoplasts) can remain photosynthetically active up to several months, contributing to animal nutrition. Whether thi ...

Towards simple tools to assess functional effects of contaminants on natural microbial and invertebrate sediment communities

Sophie Campiche

Surface sediments can accumulate contaminants that affect microorganisms and invertebrates and disturb benthic ecological functions. However, effects of contaminants on ecological functions supported by sediment communities are understudied. Here, we teste ...

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 ...

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 ...

Aquatic Fungi: A Disregarded Trophic Level in Ecological Risk Assessment of Organic Fungicides

Freshwater fungi are a diverse group of organisms and fulfill important functions in the food web dynamics of surface water ecosystems. Ascomycetic and basidiomycetic hyphomycetes play key roles in leaf litter breakdown in rivers and creeks, while parasiti ...

KRAB zinc finger proteins

Didier Trono, Michaël Imbeault, Gabriela Ecco

Kruppel-associated box domain zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are the largest family of transcriptional regulators in higher vertebrates. Characterized by an N-terminal KRAB domain and a C-terminal array of DNA-binding zinc fingers, they participate, toge ...
