Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptors and epigenetic modifications in psychotic disorders: a review [PDF]
, 2016 Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are chronic psychiatric disorders, both considered as "major psychosis"; they are thought to share some pathogenetic factors involving a dysfunctional gene x environment interaction.

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...

Gene - environment interaction in programming hippocampal plasticity: focus on adult neurogenesis
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2015 Interactions between genes and environment are a critical feature of development and both contribute to shape individuality. They are at the chore of vulnerability / resiliency for mental illnesses.

The role of histone modifications in transcription regulation upon DNA damage
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This review discusses the critical role of histone modifications in regulating gene expression during the DNA damage response (DDR). By modulating chromatin structure and recruiting repair factors, these post‐translational modifications fine‐tune transcriptional programmes to maintain genomic stability.

Genome-Wide Gene-Environment Interaction Analysis Using Set-Based Association Tests
Frontiers in Genetics, 2019 The identification of gene-environment interactions (G × E) may eventually guide health-related choices and medical interventions for complex diseases. More powerful methods must be developed to identify G × E.

Emergent adaptive behaviour of GRN-controlled simulated robots in a changing environment [PDF]
, 2016 We developed a bio-inspired robot controller combining an artificial genome with an agent-based control system. The genome encodes a gene regulatory network (GRN) that is switched on by environmental cues and, following the rules of transcriptional ...
