Mapping the evolution of mitochondrial complex I through structural variation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Respiratory complex I (CI) is crucial for bioenergetic metabolism in many prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It is composed of a conserved set of core subunits and additional accessory subunits that vary depending on the organism. Here, we categorize CI subunits from available structures to map the evolution of CI across eukaryotes. Respiratory complex I (CI)

RAPID SOUTHERN BLOT PROTOCOL FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TARGETED MUTAGENESIS IN THE MOUSE IGHG1 LOCUS
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 The efficiency of homologous recombination relies on the lenght of the homology arms and the chromatin compactation of the locus. In ES cells the immuoglobulin locu is compacted. Thus, the homologous recombination events occur at a very low frequency.

Distinct Brca1 Mutations Differentially Reduce Hematopoietic Stem Cell Function
Cell Reports, 2017 BRCA1 is a well-known DNA repair pathway component and a tissue-specific tumor suppressor. However, its role in hematopoiesis is uncertain. Here, we report that a cohort of patients heterozygous for BRCA1 mutations experienced more hematopoietic toxicity

Efficient gene targeting by TAL effector nucleases coinjected with exonucleases in zygotes
Scientific Reports, 2013 TAL Effector Nucleases (TALENs) are versatile tools for targeted gene editing in various species. However, their efficiency is still insufficient, especially in mammalian embryos.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Functional Characterization of Cryptococcal Genes: Then and Now
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Site-directed mutagenesis enables researchers to switch a gene of interest off for functional characterization of the gene. In the pathogenic yeasts, Cryptococcus neoformans and sister species C.

PLoS ONE, 2013 Background Targetrons are gene targeting vectors derived from mobile group II introns. They consist of an autocatalytic intron RNA (a “ribozyme”) and an intron-encoded reverse transcriptase, which use their combined activities to achieve highly efficient

Plasmodium falciparum gametogenesis essential protein 1 (GEP1) is a transmission‐blocking target
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study shows Plasmodium falciparum GEP1 is vital for activating sexual stages of malarial parasites even independently of a mosquito factor. Knockout parasites completely fail gamete formation even when a phosphodiesterase inhibitor is added. Two single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (V241L and S263P) are found in 12%–20% of field samples.

Gene Therapy: The Potential Applicability of Gene Transfer Technology to the Human Germline
International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2004 The theoretical possibility of applying gene transfer methodologies to the human germline is explored. Transgenic methods for genetically manipulating embryos may in principle be applied to humans.
