Short-lived AUF1 p42-binding mRNAs of RANKL and BCL6 have two distinct instability elements each

Lukas Kühn, Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Barbara Grisoni-Neupert, Ramona Pauchard-Batschulat, Otto Hagenbüchle

Regulation of mRNA stability by RNA-protein interactions contributes significantly to quantitative aspects of gene expression. We have identified potential mRNA targets of the AU-rich element binding protein AUF1. Myc-tagged AUF1 p42 was induced in mouse N ...

What shapes eukaryotic transcriptional bursting?

Felix Naef, Damien Lionel Nicolas, Nicholas Edward Phillips

Isogenic cells in a common environment present a large degree of heterogeneity in gene expression. Part of this variability is attributed to transcriptional bursting: the stochastic activation and inactivation of promoters that leads to the discontinuous p ...

From polymers to gene regulation : a bottom up approach to the bacterial chromatin

Aleksandre Japaridze

DNA molecule is the fundamental component of every living organism, since it encodes the hereditary information. Although the genetic code of almost 200 species has been sequenced, the direct connection between gene sequence, DNA structure and biological f ...

RNA Profiling and Chromatin Immunoprecipitation-Sequencing Reveal that PTF1a Stabilizes Pancreas Progenitor Identity via the Control of MNX1/HLXB9 and a Network of Other Transcription Factors

Emilie Gesina, Philipp Bucher, Anne Grapin-Botton, Nancy Thompson

Pancreas development is initiated by the specification and expansion of a small group of endodermal cells. Several transcription factors are crucial for progenitor maintenance and expansion, but their interactions and the downstream targets mediating their ...

A DNA Coarse-Grain Rigid Base Model and Parameter Estimation from Molecular Dynamics Simulations

Daiva Petkeviciute

Sequence dependent mechanics of DNA is believed to play a central role in the functioning of the cell through the expression of genetic information. Nucleosome positioning, gene regulation, DNA looping and packaging within the cell are only some of the pro ...

Highly Specific Methods for the Prediction of Genes Regulated by MicroRNAs

Ray Marcel Marin Florez

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) comprise a large set of short noncoding RNAs that bind to messenger RNAs (mRNAs) to reduce their translation into functional proteins. Computational prediction of miRNA targets is the first stage in the discovery and validation of new re ...

Synthesis of modified nucleosides for the incorporation into tRNAs

Sébastien Porcher

More than 100 modified nucleosides have been found in naturally occurring RNA sequences. These modifications are involved in the correct folding, in the maintenance of the reading frame during translation and in the proper interaction with enzymes and prot ...

New methods for the investigation of RNA refolding by NMR spectroscopy

Philipp Wenter

A detailed characterization of the time scales and mechanisms by which RNA molecules change their folding structure upon binding of metabolites or during catalysis is important for the understanding of the different biological functions of RNA. The folding ...
