Structural Basis of the Allosteric Inhibition of Human ABCG2 by Nanobodies

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni

ABCG2 is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that exports a wide range of xenobiotic compounds and has been recognized as a contributing factor for multidrug resistance in cancer cells. Substrate and inhibitor interactions with ABCG2 have been extensively ...

Dissecting the role of the asparagine synthesis in acute liver injury

Yu Sun

Amino acids are some of the main building stones of life used in a variety of biological processes, such as protein synthesis, energy metabolism or even as precursors for hormone synthesis. How-ever, some of them also participate and coordinate certain cel ...

Modeling, predicting and mining metabolism at atom-level resolution

Jasmin Maria Hafner

Living organisms can catalyze many thousands of biochemical reactions that they use to convert energy and matter, which provides them with the essentials for life. The sum of these chemical reactions happening in an organism is called metabo-lism. Understa ...

Mechanistic insights into bacterial metabolic reprogramming from omics-integrated genome-scale models

Noushin Hadadi, Vikash Kumar Pandey, Anush Chiappino-Pepe, Merten Morales, Florence Mehl

Understanding the adaptive responses of individual bacterial strains is crucial for microbiome engineering approaches that introduce new functionalities into complex microbiomes, such as xenobiotic compound metabolism for soil bioremediation. Adaptation re ...

Biotransformation Capacity of Zebrafish (Danio rerio) Early Life Stages: Functionality of the Mercapturic Acid Pathway

Kristin Schirmer, Alena Tierbach

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) early life stages offer a versatile model system to study the efficacy and safety of drugs or other chemicals with regard to human and environmental health. This is because, aside from the well-characterized genome of zebrafish and ...

Removal of pharmaceuticals in pre-denitrifying MBBR Influence of organic substrate availability in single- and three-stage configurations

Luca Loreggian

Due to the limited efficiency of conventional biological treatment, innovative solutions are being explored to improve the removal of trace organic chemicals in wastewater. Controlling biomass exposure to growth substrate represents an appealing option for ...

Diurnal Oscillations in Liver Mass and Cell Size Accompany Ribosome Assembly Cycles

Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Daniel Alain Dominique Marie Mauvoisin, Jingkui Wang

The liver plays a pivotal role in metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification, processes that must be particularly efficient when animals are active and feed. A major question is how the liver adapts to these diurnal changes in physiology. Here, we show that, ...

An evolutionarily conserved role for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor in the regulation of movement

Johan Auwerx, Bart Deplancke, Laurent Mouchiroud, Pénélope Andreux, Evan Graehl Williams, Michael Vincent Frochaux

The BXD genetic reference population is a recombinant inbred panel descended from crosses between the C57BL/6 (B6) and DBA/2 (D2) strains of mice, which segregate for about 5 million sequence variants. Recently, some of these variants have been established ...

In Vivo Studies on the Control of Gene Expression and Protein Degradation

Karolina Bojkowska

Cellular homeostasis is maintained by tightly regulated gene networks, controlled notably at the levels of transcription, mRNA processing, and protein post-translational modification and turnover. This thesis focuses on two of these regulatory steps, namel ...

Computational Framework for Predictive Biodegradation

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Stacey Deleria Finley

As increasing amounts of anthropogenic chemicals are released into the environment, it is vital to human health and the preservation of ecosystems to evaluate the fate of these chemicals in the environment. It is useful to predict whether a particular comp ...
