    Regulation of gene silencing: From microRNA biogenesis to post-translational modifications of TNRC6 complexes DISSERTATION zur Erlangung des DOKTORGRADES DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN (Dr. rer. nat.) der Fakultät Biologie und Vorklinische Medizin der Universität Regensburg vorgelegt von Johannes Danner aus Eggenfelden im Jahr 2017 Das Promotionsgesuch wurde eingereicht am: 12.09.2017 Die Arbeit wurde angeleitet von: Prof. Dr. Gunter Meister Johannes Danner Summary ‘From microRNA biogenesis to post-translational modifications of TNRC6 complexes’ summarizes the two main projects, beginning with the influence of specific RNA binding proteins on miRNA biogenesis processes. The fate of the mature miRNA is determined by the incorporation into Argonaute proteins followed by a complex formation with TNRC6 proteins as core molecules of gene silencing complexes. miRNAs are transcribed as stem-loop structured primary transcripts (pri-miRNA) by Pol II. The further nuclear processing is carried out by the microprocessor complex containing the RNase III enzyme Drosha, which cleaves the pri-miRNA to precursor-miRNA (pre-miRNA). After Exportin-5 mediated transport of the pre-miRNA to the cytoplasm, the RNase III enzyme Dicer cleaves off the terminal loop resulting in a 21-24 nt long double-stranded RNA. One of the strands is incorporated in the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), where it directly interacts with a member of the Argonaute protein family. The miRNA guides the mature RISC complex to partially complementary target sites on mRNAs leading to gene silencing. During this process TNRC6 proteins interact with Argonaute and recruit additional factors to mediate translational repression and target mRNA destabilization through deadenylation and decapping leading to mRNA decay.

  • The GW182 Protein Family in Animal Cells: New Insights Into Domains Required for Mirna-Mediated Gene Silencing
    Downloaded from rnajournal.cshlp.org on September 30, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press REVIEW The GW182 protein family in animal cells: New insights into domains required for miRNA-mediated gene silencing ANA EULALIO, FELIX TRITSCHLER, and ELISA IZAURRALDE Department of Biochemistry, Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology, D-72076 Tu¨bingen, Germany ABSTRACT GW182 family proteins interact directly with Argonaute proteins and are required for miRNA-mediated gene silencing in animal cells. The domains of the GW182 proteins have recently been studied to determine their role in silencing. These studies revealed that the middle and C-terminal regions function as an autonomous domain with a repressive function that is independent of both the interaction with Argonaute proteins and of P-body localization. Such findings reinforce the idea that GW182 proteins are key components of miRNA repressor complexes in metazoa. Keywords: Argonaute; GW182; miRNAs; mRNA decay; P-bodies; RBD; RRM; TNRC6A INTRODUCTION are conserved in diverse organisms (for review, see Carthew and Sontheimer 2009; Kim et al. 2009).

  • Awarded the 2014 Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine
    PRESS RELEASE Geneva, January 21, 2014 2014 LOUIS-JEANTET PRIZE FOR MEDICINE The 2014 LOUIS-JEANTET PRIZE FOR MEDICINE is awarded to the Italian biochemist Elena Conti, Director of the Department of Structural Cell Biology at the Max-Planck Institute of Biochemistry in Munich (Germany) and to Denis Le Bihan, the French medical doctor, physicist and Director of NeuroSpin, an institute at the French Nuclear and Renewable Energy Commission (CEA) at Saclay near Paris. The LOUIS-JEANTET FOUNDATION grants the sum of CHF 700'000 for each of the two 2014 prizes, of which CHF 625'000 is for the continuation of the prize-winner's work and CHF 75’000 for their personal use. THE PRIZE-WINNERS are conducting fundamental biological research which is expected to be of considerable significance for medicine. ELENA CONTI is awarded the 2014 Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine for her important contributions to understanding the mechanisms governing ribonucleic acid (RNA) quality, transport and degradation. In order to function properly, our cells need to degrade macromolecules that are faulty or no longer needed. The biochemist deciphered at the level of atomic resolution how faulty RNAs are recognized and eliminated. Notably, her group deciphered the three-dimensional architecture and molecular mechanisms of the exosome, a multiprotein complex that recognizes and degrades RNAs. The work revealed that several principles of the mechanism of this essential nano-machine are conserved in different forms of life. Elena Conti will use the prize money to conduct further research into the structure and regulation of the exosome. DENIS LE BIHAN is awarded the 2014 Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine for the development of a new imaging method that has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of strokes.

  • The Myth of Junk DNA
    The Myth of Junk DNA JoATN h A N W ells s eattle Discovery Institute Press 2011 Description According to a number of leading proponents of Darwin’s theory, “junk DNA”—the non-protein coding portion of DNA—provides decisive evidence for Darwinian evolution and against intelligent design, since an intelligent designer would presumably not have filled our genome with so much garbage. But in this provocative book, biologist Jonathan Wells exposes the claim that most of the genome is little more than junk as an anti-scientific myth that ignores the evidence, impedes research, and is based more on theological speculation than good science.
