UV disinfection of human norovirus: evaluating infectivity using a genome-wide PCR-based approach

Tamar Kohn, Krista Rule Wigginton, Brian Pecson, Suzanne Marie Young

The removal and inactivation of infectious human norovirus is a major focus in water purification, but its fate through disinfection treatment processes is largely unknown owing to the lack of a readily available infectivity assay. In particular, norovirus ...

Hemagglutinin of Influenza A, but not of Influenza B and C viruses is acylated by ZDHHC2, 8, 15 and 20

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Mohamed Adbelalim Gadalla

Hemagglutinin (HA), a glycoprotein of Influenza A viruses and its proton channel M2 are site-specifically modified with fatty acids. Whereas two cysteines in the short cytoplasmic tail of HA contain only palmitate, stearate is exclusively attached to one c ...

Identification of Factors of Importance for Spray Drying of Small Interfering RNA-Loaded Lipidoid-Polymer Hybrid Nanoparticles for Inhalation

Background With the recent approval of the first small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutic formulated as nanoparticles, there is increased incentive for establishing the factors of importance for the design of stable solid dosage forms of such complex nano ...

A Dissection of Oligomerization by the TRIM28 Tripartite Motif and the Interaction with Members of the Krab-ZFP Family

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot

TRIM28 (also known as KAP1 or TIF1β) is the universal co-repressor of the Krüppel-associated box-containing zinc finger proteins (Krab-ZFPs), the largest family of transcription factors in mammals. During early embryogenesis, TRIM28 mediates the transcript ...

Tissue- and sex-specific small RNAomes reveal sex differences in response to the environment

Pierre Gönczy, Alexandra Bezler, Frédéric Schütz, Laurent Keller, Raffaella Conconi

RNA interference (RNAi) related pathways are essential for germline development and fertility in metazoa and can contribute to inter- and trans-generational inheritance. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, environmental double-stranded RNA provided by ...

Opposing action of NCoR1 and PGC-1 alpha in mitochondrial redox homeostasis

Johan Auwerx, Tanes Imamura de Lima, Adrienne Joëlle Laurence Mottis

The ability to respond to fluctuations of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within the cell is a central aspect of mammalian physiology. This dynamic process depends on the coordinated action of transcriptional factors to promote the expression of genes encodi ...

Impact of genome architecture on the functional activation and repression of Hox regulatory landscapes

Denis Duboule, Lucille Delisle, Edgardo Rodriguez Carballo, Nayuta Yakushiji

Background The spatial organization of the mammalian genome relies upon the formation of chromatin domains of various scales. At the level of gene regulation in cis, collections of enhancer sequences define large regulatory landscapes that usually match wi ...

The melanization reaction in Drosophila: More than black or white

Jan Paul Dudzic

The melanization reaction is a rapid and important immune mechanism in arthropods. It results in the production of melanin at the site of injury and around invading microbes. The enzymes responsible for melanogenesis are phenoloxidases (PO), which catalyze ...

Essential Nucleoid Associated Protein mIHF (Rv1388) Controls Virulence and Housekeeping Genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Stewart Cole, Nina Theres Odermatt, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak

Tight control of gene expression is crucial for Mycobacterium tuberculosis to adapt to the changing environments encountered when infecting or exiting human cells. While three nucleoid associated proteins (NAPs) EspR, HupB and Lsr2 have been investigated, ...

Dynamic protein-chromatin interactions in heterochromatin and during the DNA damage response on the single molecule level

Andreas Linus Bachmann

Dynamic regulation of chromatin, a structure consisting of DNA and histone proteins, is mediated through histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) and effector proteins. HP1a and PRC2 are recruited to repressive PTMs (H3K9me3, H3K27me3) and enable he ...
