Synthesis of heat-shock proteins in developing sea urchins.
1981
Heating sea urchin embryos at 31°C greatly reduces the synthesis of the bulk proteins, whereas it highly stimulates the synthesis of some new proteins, the main ones being two closely migrating proteins of about 70,000 daltons. The production of heat-shock proteins is obtained only if the embryos are heated after hatching. Stages which produce heat-shock proteins survive heating, whereas earlier stages, not producing heat-shock proteins, do not survive. Heat-shock proteins are not produced in the presence of actinomycin D.
Blue-green algalike cells associated with the tunic of Ciona intestinalis L.
1980
Certain organisms resembling blue-green algae embedded in the tunic of the solitary ascidian Ciona intestinalis L. are described. Their probable symbiotic role as related to the peculiar habitat of this ascidian is suggested.
Developmental profiles of epidermal mRNAs during the pupal-adult molt of Tenebrio molitor and isolation of a cDNA clone encoding an adult cuticular p…
1992
0012-1606 (Print) Journal Article; Changes in translatable mRNAs from the wing epidermis of the Coleoptera Tenebrio molitor have been investigated during metamorphosis by analysis of in vitro translated products. Striking differences between the patterns obtained from mRNAs extracted during pupal and adult cuticle secretion indicated that a drastic change in gene expression occurs during the pupal-adult transition. In addition to these stage-specific modifications, the mRNA patterns changed within each cuticular synthesis program (pupal or adult), especially at ecdysis. After tritiated leucine incorporation, some of the major radiolabeled cuticular proteins showed similar changes suggesting…

Antioxidant Activity and Release Kinetics of Caffeic and p-Coumaric Acids from Hydrocolloid-Based Active Films for Healthy Packaged Food
2017
International audience; Sustainable hydrocolloid-based films containing natural antioxidants, caffeic and p-coumaric acids at different concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 5%, and 10% w/w of polymers, were designed for packing fatty foods. Antioxidant activities and kinetics for all film formulations were assessed using radical scavenging activity (DPPH), reducing power, and iron chelating ability. Release kinetics of the antioxidants from the films into a food simulant (96% ethanol) were analyzed. The intermolecular interactions between antioxidants and polymers chains were assessed by Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and related to the film properties. Antioxidan…
Multiproperty complexes of 4d and 4f metal ions based on biomolecules: from fundamental research to potential applications
2023
El trabajo desarrollado en esta Tesis se enmarca en el campo de la Química de Coordinación y el Magnetismo Molecular, vectores base para el desarrollo de múltiples aplicaciones en Nanomedicina y Nanotecnología. El estudio de los compuestos de coordinación tiene una larga historia que se remonta a principios del siglo XIX, con notables contribuciones de químicos como Berzelius y Jørgensen. Esta rama de la química se centra en la comprensión de las propiedades de unión de los ligandos (moléculas o aniones donadores de electrones) a los iones metálicos. Las teorías de Alfred Werner sobre la coordinación de iones metálicos a principios del siglo XX marcaron un hito importante en este campo. El …
Człowiek i natura - alienacja czy integracja?
2016
Człowiek w każdym momencie swego życia jest równocześnie myślącą jednostką, która kieruje się wymogami kultury i cywilizacji, oraz żywym organizmem, podlegającym uwarunkowaniom biologicznym. Rozpatrując człowieka, trudno uniknąć jakiejś formy dualizmu. Samowiedza ludzi europejskiej cywilizacji naznaczona jest kartezjańskim dziedzictwem. Pokartezjański podmiot skupiony jest na ideach umysłu, na teoretycznych konstrukcjach i projektach. Traci świadomość swoich prawdziwych potrzeb, żyje niejako obok siebie, zgodnie ze swoim idealnym projektem, a nie z sobą jako osobą z krwi i kości. Popada w autoalienację, odcina się od życia, od biosfery. Wyalienowanemu z życia podmiotów i brak ontycznego zak…
Recherche de déterminants génétiques et moléculaires impliqués dans l’architecture racinaire et nodulaire des légumineuses et contribuant à une améli…
2016
La culture de Légumineuses présente le double intérêt de permettre une production de graines à haute valeur nutritionnelle sans nécessité d’un apport d’engrais azoté. La nutrition azotée des légumineuses dépend en effet majoritairement de la fixation symbiotique de l’azote atmosphérique réalisée par des bactéries du sol, les rhizobia, au sein des nodosités, et dans une moindre mesure, de l’assimilation de l’azote minéral du sol par les racines. Une meilleure compréhension a été acquise, par ce travail de thèse, sur le contrôle génétique de la mise en place des racines et des nodosités et sur leur impact sur la nutrition azotée. Une grande variabilité génétique pour ces caractères a été mise…
De novo Synthesis of Chemical Defenses in an Aposematic Moth
2018
Many animals protect themselves from predation with chemicals, both self-made or sequestered from their diet. The potential drivers of the diversity of these chemicals have been long studied, but our knowledge of these chemicals and their acquisition mode is heavily based on specialist herbivores that sequester their defenses. The wood tiger moth (Arctia plantaginis, Linnaeus, 1758) is a well-studied aposematic species, but the nature of its chemical defenses has not been fully described . Here, we report the presence of two methoxypyrazines, 2-sec-butyl-3-methoxypyrazine and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, in the moths’ defensive secretions. By raising larvae on an artificial diet, we confir…
