Dissecting signaling hierarchies in the patterning of the mouse primitive streak using micropatterned EpiLC colonies
Summary
Embryo studies have established that the patterning of the mouse gastrula depends on a regulatory network in which the WNT, BMP, and NODAL signaling pathways cooperate,…
Congratulations to Romet-Lemonne / Jégou Team for this new paper just published in JoVE:
Using Microfluidics and Fluorescence Microscopy to Study the Assembly Dynamics of Single Actin Filaments and Bundles
Abstract
In order to decipher the complex molecular mechanisms that regulate the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments, it is a great asset to monitor individual…

Divergent transcriptional and transforming properties of PAX3-FOXO1 and PAX7-FOXO1 paralogs
Abstract
The hallmarks of the alveolar subclass of rhabdomyosarcoma are chromosomal translocations that generate chimeric PAX3-FOXO1 or PAX7-FOXO1 transcription factors. Overexpression of either PAX-FOXO1s results in related cell transformation in animal models. Yet,…

The kiss of life: Aurora A embraces the phosphate of its cofactor Bora to trigger mitotic entry
La plupart des organismes vivants pluricellulaires sont constitués d’un grand nombre de cellules très différentes. À l’exception des gamètes, qui sont le produit d’une division cellulaire particulière (méiose), toutes…

Paramecium Polycomb repressive complex 2 physically interacts with the small RNA-binding PIWI protein to repress transposable elements
Summary
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) maintains transcriptionally silent genes in a repressed state via deposition of histone H3K27-trimethyl (me3) marks. PRC2 has also been implicated in silencing transposable elements (TEs), yet how PRC2…

A complete temporal transcription factor series in the fly visual system
Abstract
The brain consists of thousands of neuronal types that are generated by stem cells producing different neuronal types as they age. In Drosophila, this temporal patterning is driven by the successive expression…
Courtier Lab: Non-visual cues and indirect strategies that enable discrimination of asymmetric mates
Congratulations to Roshan Kumar Vijendravarma (Courtier Lab) for this new article published with Pierre Leopold (Institut Curie) in Ecology and Evolution:
Non-visual cues and indirect strategies that enable discrimination of asymmetric mates
Abstract
The postulates of developmental instability–sexual selection hypothesis is intensely debated among evolutionary biologists, wherein despite a large amount of empirical data, evidence for…

GC content, but not nucleosome positioning, directly contributes to intron splicing efficiency in Paramecium
Abstract
Eukaryotic genes are interrupted by introns that must be accurately spliced from mRNA precursors. With an average length of 25 nt, the more than 90,000 introns of Paramecium tetraurelia stand among the…
