Endogenous fluctuations of OCT 4 and SOX 2 bias pluripotent cell fate decisions

Cédric Deluz, David Michael Suter, Daniel Strebinger, Andrea Brigitta Alber, Torgil Elias Friman, Subashika Govindan

SOX2 and OCT4 are pioneer transcription factors playing a key role in embryonic stem (ES) cell self‐renewal and differentiation. How temporal fluctuations in their expression levels bias lineage commitment is unknown. Here, we generated knock‐in reporter f ...

Dynamics of protein synthesis and degradation through the cell cycle

David Michael Suter, Andrea Brigitta Alber

Protein expression levels depend on the balance between their synthesis and degradation rates. Even quiescent (G(0)) cells display a continuous turnover of proteins, despite protein levels remaining largely constant over time. In cycling cells, global prot ...

Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase

Cédric Deluz, Mahé Cécile Raccaud, David Michael Suter, Andrea Brigitta Alber, Torgil Elias Friman

Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their nuclear mobility and sequence-specific/non-specific DNA binding. How these properties affect their ability to occupy specific genomic sites and modify the epigenetic landscape is unclear. The as ...

Single Live Cell Monitoring of Protein Turnover Reveals Intercellular Variability and Cell-Cycle Dependence of Degradation Rates

Felix Naef, Eric Paquet, David Michael Suter, Martina Biserni, Andrea Brigitta Alber

Cells need to reliably control their proteome composition to maintain homeostasis and regulate growth. How protein synthesis and degradation interplay to control protein expression levels remains unclear. Here, we combined a tandem fluorescent timer and pu ...

Single live cell monitoring of protein turnover reveals intercellular variability and cell cycle dependence of degradation rates

Andrea Brigitta Alber

Cells need to be able to precisely control their proteome composition in order to maintain homeostasis. This is of particular relevance in fast dividing cells, such as embryonic stem cells, since their global protein levels need to be doubled at each divis ...
