From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Internal guide RNA interactions interfere with Cas9-mediated cleavage

Nature Communications, 2016
While the CRISPR-Cas9 system has revolutionised molecular biology, it is still a mystery why not every guide RNA elicits target DNA cleavage. Here the authors show that genomic context and internal gRNA interactions can inhibit cleavage.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

siRNA. A guide for RNA silencing.

Chemistry & biology, 2003
RNAi is routinely used to eliminate gene activity for experimental purposes. However, the precise molecular mechanism of RNAi is unknown. Recent papers partially illuminate this mechanism in human cells, advancing the potential application of RNAi toward the treatment of human disease.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Study Protein–RNA Interactions

CHIMIA, 2019
Protein–RNA complex formation is at the center of RNA metabolism and leads to the modulation of protein and RNA functions. We propose here a step-by-step guide to investigate these interactions including the identification of the protein and RNA

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Biological roles of DExH RNA helicase, RHAU [PDF]

, 2007
In this thesis, I have described the work carried out on a single protein called RHAU, dealing with aspects of protein localization in cells, the regulation of global gene expression by different mechanisms, and cellular stress-responses.

Small, Smaller, Smallest: Minimal Structural Requirements for a Fully Functional Box C/D Modification Guide RNA

Biomolecules, 2019
Site-specific 2’-O-ribose methylation is an abundant post-transcriptional modification mediated by small non-coding nuclear RNAs known as box C/D modification guide RNAs.

Nutrient/TOR signaling controls adipose mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) to regulate organismal growth in Drosophila

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Animals must match their growth rate to available nutrients. We show that in Drosophila larvae, the nutrient‐sensing TOR kinase controls growth by regulating levels of TFAM, a key regulator of mitochondrial function, in the adipose tissue. When nutrients are abundant, high TOR activity suppresses TFAM, lowering mitochondrial bioenergetic activity and ...

Structural insights into the dynamics and function of the C-terminus of the E. coli RNA chaperone Hfq [PDF]

, 2011
The hexameric Escherichia coli RNA chaperone Hfq (Hfq(Ec)) is involved in riboregulation of target mRNAs by small trans-encoded RNAs. Hfq proteins of different bacteria comprise an evolutionarily conserved core, whereas the C-terminus is variable in ...
