Résumé : Summary : Using advanced single molecule measurements techniques and all atom computational simulations, we discovered two interesting physical properties of DNA. First, DNA sequence and modifications have profound influence on DNA flexibility which in turn determines the asymmetry in mechanical stability of nucleosomes and the accessibility of nucleosomal DNA. Second, DNA sequence and modifications strongly influence association between double stranded DNA molecules without Watson-Crick basepairing, thereby affecting chromosomal organizations.

Résumé : Summary :
"Applications based on Förster Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) play an important role for the determination of concentrations and distances within nanometer-scale systems in vitro and in vivo in many fields of the life sciences. Using time-resolved optical spectroscopy and microscopy for the analysis of FRET systems offers several advantages concerning sensitivity and specificity. Two extraordinary materials concerning time-resolved FRET are luminescent lanthanide complexes (LLCs) and semiconductor quantum dots (QDs). Both are frequently used as FRET donors in combination with organic dyes, fluorescent proteins and other fluorophores. However, their combination as LLC-QD donor-acceptor pair gives access to unique optical properties, which make this FRET-pair an incredible tool for highly sensitive multiplexed diagnostics.
The presentation will start with an introduction to FRET, lanthanide complexes and quantum dots and their possible applications. Then it will focus on recent research results concerning FRET for ultrasensitive multiplexed biosensing applications such as homogeneous immunoassays, microRNA detection, enzyme kinetics, molecular rulers, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, molecular logic gates, and crossing of the blood-brain barrier."

Résumé : Replication and assembly of many RNA viruses take place in specific intracellular compartments known as ‘virus factories’, ‘viral inclusions’ or ‘viroplasms’. Our knowledge of the biogenesis and architecture of these unique structures has increased considerably in the last few years, due to technical advances in cellular, molecular and structural biology. Early in infection, viral polymerases and cofactors interact with cell membranes, where they build functional replication complexes (RC) and replication organelles. These structures recruit viral and cell factors to build a platform on which viral replication and morphogenesis are spatially connected. Factories are very dynamic, as their structure changes over time. A number of imaging technologies are helping us to understand how factories are built and work. 3D imaging shows the complex organization of virus factories, in particular the new interactions built between virus-induced membranous scaffolds, cytoskeleton and recruited organelles. A summary of recent findings on the structure of factories will be presented, including 3D reconstructions of serial sections, electron tomography and molecular mapping with antibodies and with the new clonable tag for electron microscopy based on the small metal-binding protein metallothionein (MT). Study of the intracellular distribution of MT-tagged viral replicase proteins revealed virus-induced structures not previously observed. Designing strategies to combine functional and mechanistic studies with 3D imaging will be necessary to understand the meaning of the structures built by viruses in the infected cell.Retour ligne automatique
