Functional and Computational Genomics Reveal Unprecedented Flexibility in Stage-Specific Toxoplasma Metabolism

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Matteo Lunghi, Damien Lionel Nicolas, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Aarti Krishnan, Dominique Soldati-Favre

To survive and proliferate in diverse host environments with varying nutrient availability, the obligate intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii reprograms its metabolism. We have generated and curated a genome-scale metabolic model (iTgo) for the fast-re ...

Shear Stress-Responsive Polymersome Nanoreactors Inspired by the Marine Bioluminescence of Dinoflagellates

Esther Amstad, Antoine Claude Jean Vian

Some marine plankton called dinoflagellates emit light in response to the movement of surrounding water, resulting in a phenomenon called milky seas or sea sparkle. The underlying concept, a shear-stress induced permeabilisation of biocatalytic reaction co ...

Human shelterin protein POT1 prevents severe telomere instability induced by homology-directed DNA repair

Joachim Lingner, Anna-Sophia Briod

The evolutionarily conserved POT1 protein binds single-stranded G-rich telomeric DNA and has been implicated in contributing to telomeric DNA maintenance and the suppression of DNA damage checkpoint signaling. Here, we explore human POT1 function through g ...

Self-organization of parS centromeres by the ParB CTP hydrolase

Paolo De Los Rios, Stefano Zamuner

ParABS systems facilitate chromosome segregation and plasmid partitioning in bacteria and archaea. ParB protein binds centromeric parS DNA sequences and spreads to flanking DNA. We show that ParB is an enzyme that hydrolyzes cytidine triphosphate (CTP) to ...

Allele-specific gene editing prevents deafness in a model of dominant progressive hearing loss

Bernard Schneider, Paola Andrea Solanes Vega, Sofia Carmen Suzanne Spataro

Since most dominant human mutations are single nucleotide substitutions(1,2), we explored gene editing strategies to disrupt dominant mutations efficiently and selectively without affecting wild-type alleles. However, single nucleotide discrimination can b ...

NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2019

The fluorescent analogue 2-aminopurine (2AP) of the canonical nucleobase adenine (6-aminopurine) base-pairs with thymine (T) without disrupting the helical structure of DNA. It therefore finds frequent use in molecular biology for probing DNA and RNA struc ...

Exploring on Protein-DNA interactions

Alexandra Styliani Kalantzi

A variety of DNA-binding proteins organizes the chromosomal DNA and regulates gene transcription, and DNA replication and recombination. In particular, for gene regulation there is a category of DNA-binding proteins, the transcription factors, which can de ...

Nuclear RNR-alpha antagonizes cell proliferation by directly inhibiting ZRANB3

Yimon Aye, Yuan Fu

Since the origins of DNA-based life, the enzyme ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) has spurred proliferation because of its rate-limiting role in de novo deoxynucleoside-triphosphate (dNTP) biosynthesis. Paradoxically, the large subunit, RNR-alpha, of this obl ...

Renal metabolism of hyperpolarized [1-13C]aspartate

Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Aspartic acid is involved in several central metabolic pathways, including gluconeogenesis, the urea cycle, de novo nucleotide synthesis, the malate-aspartate shuttle, and via transmination the TCA cycle. The conversion in vivo of hyperpolarized [1-13C]pyr ...

Design of cyclopentadithiophene-based small organic molecules as hole selective layers for perovskite solar cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Iwan Zimmermann, Laura Calio

Thiophene-based p-type molecules are being extensively investigated and employed in optoelectronic devices due to their intriguing semiconducting properties. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of a 4H-cyclopenta[1,2-b: 5,4-b']dithiophene- ...
