Conservation of transcription factor binding specificities across 600 million years of bilateria evolution

Divergent morphology of species has largely been ascribed to genetic differences in the tissue-specific expression of proteins, which could be achieved by divergence in cis-regulatory elements or by altering the binding specificity of transcription factors ...

A large-scale, in vivo transcription factor screen defines bivalent chromatin as a key property of regulatory factors mediating Drosophila wing development

Bart Deplancke, Monica Albarca Aguilera

Transcription factors (TFs) are key regulators of cell fate. The estimated 755 genes that encode DNA binding domain-containing proteins comprise similar to 5% of all Drosophila genes. However, the majority has remained uncharacterized so far due to the lac ...

What crowding tells about schizophrenia

Michael Herzog, Maya Roinishvili

Visual paradigms are versatile tools to investigate the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Contextual modulation refers to a class of paradigms where a target is flanked by neighboring elements, which either deteriorate or facilitate target perception. It i ...

Transposable elements and their KRAB/KAP1 controllers broadly regulate transcription in adult human cells

Flavia Marzetta

KAP1 is a universal corepressor for the large family of KRAB-ZFP proteins that coordinates epigenetic silencing of endogenous retroelements (EREs) during early embryonic development. This process is essential not just to prevent replication of EREs, but al ...

Upstream Binding of Idling RNA Polymerase Modulates Transcription Initiation from a Nearby Promoter

Giovanni Dietler, Aleksandre Japaridze

The bacterial gene regulatory regions often demonstrate distinctly organized arrays of RNA polymerase binding sites of illdefined function. Previously we observed a module of closely spaced polymerase binding sites upstream of the canonical promoter of the ...

An interplay between the p38 MAPK pathway and AUBPs regulates c-fos mRNA stability during mitogenic stimulation

Diego Chiappe, Tamara Tanos

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways constitute key regulatory elements linking extracellular stimuli to nuclear gene expression. Immediate-early responsive genes (IEGs) of the activator protein 1 (AP-1) family, such as fos, achieve peak expres ...

Phage Selection of Bicyclic Peptides and High-Throughput Screening of Chemical Compounds for the Identification of Novel Inhibitors of the Notch Pathway

Notch signaling is a highly conserved developmental pathway that plays important roles in the regulation of cellular processes including cell fate decisions and stem cell maintenance. A tight regulation of the Notch cascade ensures proper tissue homeostasi ...

Nucleosome Stability Distinguishes Two Different Promoter Types at All Protein-Coding Genes in Yeast

Jacques Rougemont, Philippe Jacquet

Previous studies indicate that eukaryotic promoters display a stereotypical chromatin landscape characterized by a well-positioned +1 nucleosome near the transcription start site and an upstream 1 nucleosome that together demarcate a nucleosome-free (or -d ...

Defining the nitrogen regulated transcriptome of Mycobacterium smegmatis using continuous culture

Andrej Benjak

Background: Nitrogen is essential for microbial growth and its importance is demonstrated by the complex regulatory systems used to control the transport, assimilation and metabolism of nitrogen. Recent studies are beginning to shed light on how mycobacter ...

Update on the role of angiotensin in the pathophysiology of coronary atherothrombosis

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Rodrigo Araujo Fraga Da Silva

BackgroundCoronary atherothrombosis due to atherosclerotic plaque rupture or erosion is frequently associated with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Significant efforts have been made to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying acute coronary e ...
