Short-lived AUF1 p42-binding mRNAs of RANKL and BCL6 have two distinct instability elements each

Lukas Kühn, Giovanna Ambrosini, Philipp Bucher, Barbara Grisoni-Neupert, Ramona Pauchard-Batschulat, Otto Hagenbüchle

Regulation of mRNA stability by RNA-protein interactions contributes significantly to quantitative aspects of gene expression. We have identified potential mRNA targets of the AU-rich element binding protein AUF1. Myc-tagged AUF1 p42 was induced in mouse N ...

Generalized convex hull construction for materials discovery

Michele Ceriotti, Edgar Albert Engel, Andrea Anelli

Searching for novel materials involves identifying potential candidates and selecting those that have desirable properties and facile synthesis. It is relatively easy to generate large numbers of potential candidates, for instance, by computational searche ...

The telomeric DNA damage response: Insights into telomere compaction and identification of novel damage signaling factors

Aleksandra Vancevska

Telomeres are dynamic nucleo-protein structures capping the ends of all eukaryotic chromosomes. Together with telomerase, they counteract replication-dependent telomere attrition. Additionally, they disguise the linear ends of the chromosome from the DNA d ...

Deciphering the chromatin binding mechanisms of human HP1 variants at the single-molecule level

Louise Catherine Bryan

In eukaryotic cells, DNA is tightly packed in the form chromatin. The basic structure of chromatin is a nucleosome composed of 147 bp DNA wrapped around eight histone proteins; two copies of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. These histone proteins are decorated with pa ...

Single-molecule FRET reveals multiscale chromatin dynamics modulated by HP1α

Beat Fierz, Louise Catherine Bryan, Sinan Kilic, Iuliia Boichenko

The dynamic architecture of chromatin fibers, a key determinant of genome regulation, is poorly understood. Here, we employ multimodal single-molecule Förster resonance energy transfer studies to reveal structural states and their interconversion kinetics ...

Kinetically Trapped Liquid-State Conformers of a Sodiated Model Peptide Observed in the Gas Phase

Thomas Rizzo, Markus Schneider, Chiara Masellis, Carsten Baldauf

We investigate the peptide AcPheAla(5)Lyar(+), a model system for studying helix formation in the gas phase, in order to fully understand the forces that stabilize the helical structure. In particular, we address the question of whether the local fixation ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of the intrinsically disordered protein amelogenin

John Christopher Plummer, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Alessandra Apicella, Vincenzo Colangelo

Amelogenin refers to a class of intrinsically disordered proteins that are the major constituents of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), an extract of porcine fetal teeth used in regenerative periodontal therapy. Modifications in molecular conformation induced ...

Noncovalent Protein and Peptide Functionalization of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes for Biodelivery and Optical Sensing Applications

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Alessandra Antonucci, Justyna Kupis-Rozmyslowicz

The exquisite structural and optical characteristics of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), combined with the tunable specificities of proteins and peptides, can be exploited to strongly benefit technologies with applications in fields ranging from bi ...

Multilaser Conformer-Selective Spectroscopy of Cold Biomolecular Ions in the Gas Phase

Aleksandr Pereverzev

Proteins and even small peptides play crucial role in almost any biological. Biological activity and functionality of these building blocks of life are determined not only by their primary structure, but also by their 3D orientation â secondary, tertiary ...
