Regulation and impact of TERRA R-loops at human telomeres
Telomeres are the nucleoprotein structures found at the ends of linear chromosomes. They ensure that the termini of chromosomes are not inappropriately recognized as sites of DNA damage, and are therefore crucial for genome stability. In spite of the heter ...
EPFL2023Whole-genome doubling drives oncogenic loss of chromatin segregation
Elisa Oricchio, Daniele Tavernari, Natalya Katanayeva, Ruxandra-Andreea Lambuta, Juan Diaz Miyar, Giovanni Ciriello
Whole-genome doubling (WGD) is a recurrent event in human cancers and it promotes chromosomal instability and acquisition of aneuploidies(1-8). However, the three-dimensional organization of chromatin in WGD cells and its contribution to oncogenic phenotyp ...
NATURE PORTFOLIO2023Efficient and sensitive profiling of RNA–protein interactions using TLC-CLIP
Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Christina Ernst
RNA-binding proteins are instrumental for post-transcriptional gene regulation, controlling all aspects throughout the lifecycle of RNA molecules. However, transcriptome-wide methods to profile RNA-protein interactions in vivo remain technically challengin ...
2023Exploring the role of transcriptional and post-transcriptional processes in mRNA co-expression
Benjamin Joao Clément Antonin Hadrien Martin
Co-expression of two or more genes at the single-cell level is usually associated with functional co-regulation. While mRNA co-expression-measured as the correlation in mRNA levels-can be influenced by both transcriptional and post-transcriptional events, ...
Hoboken2023SARS-CoV-2 hijacks a cell damage response, which induces transcription of a more efficient Spike S-acyltransferase
Didier Trono, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Béatrice Kunz, Audrey Geneviève Chuat, Joana Carlevaro Fita, Nattawadee Panyain
SARS-CoV-2 infection requires Spike protein-mediated fusion between the viral and cellular membranes. The fusogenic activity of Spike depends on its post-translational lipid modification by host S-acyltransferases, predominantly ZDHHC20. Previous observati ...
2023Sulfur-cycling chemolithoautotrophic microbial community dominates a cold, anoxic, hypersaline Arctic spring
Background Gypsum Hill Spring, located in Nunavut in the Canadian High Arctic, is a rare example of a cold saline spring arising through thick permafrost. It perennially discharges cold (similar to 7 degrees C), hypersaline (7-8% salinity), anoxic (similar ...
BMC2023Identification and characterization of proteins that protect human telomeres from fragility
Difficulties to replicate telomeres - the ends of our chromosomes - can cause telomere shortening andgenome instability. These difficulties are due to the repetitive DNA sequence and distinct structures at telomeresthat challenge the semi-conservative DNA ...
EPFL2022The makings of TERRA R-loops at chromosome ends
Joachim Lingner, Marianna Feretzaki, Rita Valador Fernandes
Telomeres protect chromosome ends from nucleolytic degradation, uncontrolled recombination by DNA repair enzymes and checkpoint signaling, and they provide mechanisms for their maintenance by semiconservative DNA replication, telomerase and homologous reco ...
TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC2021Circadian dynamics of RNA localisation in the mammalian liver
Gene expression in eukaryotes is a complex multi-step process. It starts in the nucleus with transcription, the synthesis of a mRNA copy from a DNA template. While in the nucleus, the RNA transcript is subject to multiple co- and post-transcriptional modif ...
EPFL2021The human telomeric proteome during telomere replication
Joachim Lingner, Thomas Frédéric Lunardi, Aleksandra Vancevska, Gérald Joseph Paul Lossaint, Chih-Yi Gabriela Lin
Telomere shortening can cause detrimental diseases and contribute to aging. It occurs due to the end replication problem in cells lacking telomerase. Furthermore, recent studies revealed that telomere shortening can be attributed to difficulties of the sem ...
