Controlled Delivery and Light‐Induced Release of Magic Spot Nucleotides in Escherichia coli
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.We synthesized photocaged, clickable and isotope‐labeled “magic spot” Nucleotides and delivered them into Escherichia coli comparing different approaches. Light‐controlled release inside living cells enabled tracking of their conversion from pppGpp to ppGpp by capillary electrophoresis mass spectrometry and revealed their impact on the growth rate of a

Identification of a novel actin-binding domain within the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor TEM4. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Spatio-temporal activation of Rho GTPases is essential for their function in a variety of biological processes and is achieved in part by regulating the localization of their activators, the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factors (RhoGEFs).

The juxtamembrane and carboxy-terminal domains of Arabidopsis PRK2 are critical for ROP-induced growth in pollen tubes. [PDF]
, 2013 Polarized growth of pollen tubes is a critical step for successful reproduction in angiosperms and is controlled by ROP GTPases. Spatiotemporal activation of ROP (Rho GTPases of plants) necessitates a complex and sophisticated regulatory system, in which

Enhancing CHO cell recombinant protein production using a perfusion‐directed host evolution approach
Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.Abstract Clonally derived cell lines generated from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells encounter numerous stressors when cultured in high‐intensity perfusion bioreactors leading to poor process performance. To circumvent this, the ability of CHO cells to adapt to different culture environments was exploited. Here host cells were selected in the presence

Identification of novel genes regulating the development of the palate
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) has generated thousands of knockout mouse lines, many of which exhibit embryonic or perinatal lethality. Using micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT), the IMPC has created and publicly released three‐dimensional image data sets of embryos from these lethal and subviable lines.
