The influence of attachment on well-being: the mediating role of emotion regulation in Spanish youth
2021
Las personas construyen y mantienen vínculos emocionales a lo largo de todo su desarrollo vital. El modo de vincularse, es decir, el estilo de apego, es consecuencia de los modelos mentales de relación construidos durante las experiencias afectivas. Los individuos con apego inseguro informan de elevada ansiedad y/o elevada evitación al establecer relaciones interpersonales. Estas personas podrían beneficiarse especialmente del aprendizaje de estrategias adecuadas para regular sus emociones, y así, aumentar su grado de bienestar. El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar la relación entre el apego y el bienestar subjetivo en jóvenes españoles, contemplando la regulación emocional como var…
Alternative splicing regulation by Muscleblind proteins: from development to disease.
2011
Regulated use of exons in pre-mRNAs, a process known as alternative splicing, strongly contributes to proteome diversity. Alternative splicing is finely regulated by factors that bind specific sequences within the precursor mRNAs. Members of the Muscleblind (Mbl) family of splicing factors control critical exon use changes during the development of specific tissues, particularly heart and skeletal muscle. Muscleblind homologs are only found in metazoans from Nematoda to mammals. Splicing targets and recognition mechanisms are also conserved through evolution. In this recognition, Muscleblind CCCH-type zinc finger domains bind to intronic motifs in pre-mRNA targets in which the protein can e…
Kinetic modelling of the Zymomonas mobilis Entner-Doudoroff pathway: insights into control and functionality.
2013
Zymomonas mobilis, an ethanol-producing bacterium, possesses the Entner-Doudoroff (E-D) pathway, pyruvate decarboxylase and two alcohol dehydrogenase isoenzymes for the fermentative production of ethanol and carbon dioxide from glucose. Using available kinetic parameters, we have developed a kinetic model that incorporates the enzymic reactions of the E-D pathway, both alcohol dehydrogenases, transport reactions and reactions related to ATP metabolism. After optimizing the reaction parameters within likely physiological limits, the resulting kinetic model was capable of simulating glycolysis in vivo and in cell-free extracts with good agreement with the fluxes and steady-state intermediate …
Acyl-homoserine lactone production is more common among plant-associated Pseudomonas spp. than among soilborne Pseudomonas spp.
2001
ABSTRACT A total of 137 soilborne and plant-associated bacterial strains belonging to different Pseudomonas species were tested for their ability to synthesize N -acyl-homoserine lactones (NAHL). Fifty-four strains synthesized NAHL. Interestingly, NAHL production appears to be more common among plant-associated than among soilborne Pseudomonas spp. Indeed, 40% of the analyzed Pseudomonas syringae strains produced NAHL which were identified most often as the short-chain NAHL, N -hexanoyl- l -homoserine lactone, N -(3-oxo-hexanoyl)-homoserine lactone, and N -(3-oxo-octanoyl)- l -homoserine lactone (no absolute correlation between genomospecies of P. syringae and their ability to produce NAHL …
Expression Patterns of Key Hormones Related to Pea (Pisum sativum L.) Embryo Physiological Maturity Shift in Response to Accelerated Growth Conditions
2019
Protocols have been proposed for rapid generation turnover of temperate legumes under conditions optimized for day-length, temperature, and light spectra. These conditions act to compress time to flowering and seed development across genotypes. In pea, we have previously demonstrated that embryos do not efficiently germinate without exogenous hormones until physiological maturity is reached at 18 days after pollination (DAP). Sugar metabolism and moisture content have been implicated in the modulation of embryo maturity. However, the role of hormones in regulating seed development is poorly described in legumes. To address this gap, we characterized hormonal profiles (IAA, chlorinated auxin…
Transcriptional response of Medicago truncatula sulphate transporters to arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis with and without sulphur stress
2013
Sulphur is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, development and response to various abiotic and biotic stresses due to its key role in the biosynthesis of many S-containing compounds. Sulphate represents a very small portion of soil S pull and it is the only form that plant roots can uptake and mobilize through H(+)-dependent co-transport processes implying sulphate transporters. Unlike the other organically bound forms of S, sulphate is normally leached from soils due to its solubility in water, thus reducing its availability to plants. Although our knowledge of plant sulphate transporters has been growing significantly in the past decades, little is still known about the effect of…
Inactivation of PadR, the repressor of the phenolic acid stress response, by molecular interaction with Usp1, a universal stress protein from Lactoba…
2009
ABSTRACT The phenolic acid decarboxylase gene padA is involved in the phenolic acid stress response (PASR) in gram-positive bacteria. In Lactobacillus plantarum , the padR gene encodes the negative transcriptional regulator of padA and is cotranscribed with a downstream gene, usp1 , which encodes a putative universal stress protein (USP), Usp1, of unknown function. The usp1 gene is overexpressed during the PASR. However, the role and the mechanism of action of the USPs are unknown in gram-positive bacteria. Therefore, to gain insights into the role of USPs in the PASR; (i) a usp1 deletion mutant was constructed; (ii) the two genes padR and usp1 were coexpressed with padA under its own promo…
Persistance and adaptation of Listeria monocytogenes in the soil : role of the communication system Agr
2014
Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous bacterium responsible for listeriosis, a food-borne disease. This pathogen has been isolated from various environments of which the telluric environment. The presence of L. monocytogenes in soil can increase health hazards due to the risk of transfer to vegetables, animals and animal products and water. Considering the role of soil in the circulation of pathogens from farm environment to plant and animal products and eventually to foodstuff, it is critical to identify intrinsic and extrinsic factors that drive the fate of L. monocytogenes in soil. Genome-wide and transcriptomic analyses found that an important part of the genome of L. monocytogenes (7.…
Control of the HOXA9 gene expression in the hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells : role of the epigenetic factors MOZ, MLL and of the polyadenylation …
2013
My thesis project has consisted of the study of MOZ, and MLL. They are epigenetic regulators. MOZ and MLL activate transcription of HOX genes, which are transcription factors essential during haematopoiesis. MOZ and MLL have some target genes in common. In our study, we characterised a cooperation between MOZ and MLL in human haematopoietic stem/progenitor cells CD34+. They are both recruited onto HOX promoters. MOZ is essential for MLL recruitment, and this is reciprocal. In conclusion, we provided an example of a mechanism involving a direct cross-talk between two histone modifying enzymes.In order to dissect the mechanism of action of this complex, we decided to identify novel proteins i…
Cropping systems for driving biological regulation of weeds. A simulation study of seed predation by carabids
2018
International audience; Weed seed predation by carabid beetles (Coleoptera, Carabidae) may contribute to weed control in crop fields but to date, evidence of weed regulation by carabids is scarce. Predation rates are driven by several factors (crop management techniques, habitat quality, pedoclimate, and carabids’ seasonal dynamics). Models are needed to evaluate the impact of weed seed predation on multi-annual weed dynamics, and thus on crop production and weed biodiversity. We developed a predation model which was added to an existing weed dynamics model (FlorSys, Colbach et al., 2014). The model was built from available literature and experimental data. It simulates the effects on daily…
