Post-Transcriptional Regulation of Iron Homeostasis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
2013
Iron is an essential micronutrient for all eukaryotic organisms because it participates as a redox cofactor in a wide variety of biological processes. Recent studies in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have shown that in response to iron deficiency, an RNA-binding protein denoted Cth2 coordinates a global metabolic rearrangement that aims to optimize iron utilization. The Cth2 protein contains two Cx8Cx5Cx3H tandem zinc fingers (TZFs) that specifically bind to adenosine/uridine-rich elements within the 3' untranslated region of many mRNAs to promote their degradation. The Cth2 protein shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Once inside the nucleus, Cth2 binds target mRNAs and stimulate…
A computational method for studying the relation between alternative splicing and DNA methylation.
2015
Alternative splicing is an important mechanism in eukaryotes that expands the transcriptome and proteome significantly. It plays an important role in a number of biological processes. Understanding its regulation is hence an important challenge. Recently, increasing evidence has been collected that supports an involvement of intragenic DNA methylation in the regulation of alternative splicing. The exact mechanisms of regulation, however, are largely unknown, and speculated to be complex: different methylation profiles might exist, each of which could be associated with a different regulation mechanism. We present a computational technique that is able to determine such stable methylation pa…
9-cis-Retinoic acid enhances fatty acid-induced expression of the liver fatty acid-binding protein gene
1997
The role of retinoic acids (RA) on liver fatty acid- binding protein (L-FABP) expression was investigated in the well differentiated FAO rat hepatoma cell line. 9-cis-Retinoic acid (9-ci's-RA) specifically enhanced L-FABP mRNA levels in a time- and dose-dependent manner. The higher induction was found 6 h after addition of 10 -6 M 9-CK-RA in the medium. RA also enhanced further both L-FABP mRNA levels and cytosolic L-FABP protein content induced by oleic acid. The retinoid X receptor (RXR) and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR), which are known to be activated, respectively, by 9-c/s-RA and long chain fatty acid (LCFA), co-operated to bind specifically the peroxisome prol…
Transcriptional Response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Different Nitrogen Concentrations during Alcoholic Fermentation▿ †
2007
Gene expression profiles of a wine strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae PYCC4072 were monitored during alcoholic fermentations with three different nitrogen supplies: (i) control fermentation (with enough nitrogen to complete sugar fermentation), (ii) nitrogen-limiting fermentation, and (iii) the addition of nitrogen to the nitrogen-limiting fermentation (refed fermentation). Approximately 70% of the yeast transcriptome was altered in at least one of the fermentation stages studied, revealing the continuous adjustment of yeast cells to stressful conditions. Nitrogen concentration had a decisive effect on gene expression during fermentation. The largest changes in transcription profiles were o…
Redescription of allencotyla mcintoshi price, 1962 (monogenea), with an emended diagnosis of allencotyla price, 1962
2003
The original description of the type species of Allencotyla, A. mcintoshi Price, 1962, was based on 5 specimens collected from 1 amberjack Seriola lalandi in Florida. In this study, A. mcintoshi is redescribed based on new specimens collected from juvenile greater amberjacks S. dumerili captured off the Spanish Mediterranean coast and maintained in experimental culture tanks. Except for a slightly smaller size, individuals of S. dumerili were morphologically similar to the type specimens. However, reexamination of the type material and examination of the new specimens revealed the following discrepancies with respect to the original description: (1) the vaginal pore is unarmed and covered w…
Análisis transcriptómico del daño por frío en fruto de melocotón
2016
En la industria hortofrutícola las bajas temperaturas se utilizan para retrasar la maduración y el decaimiento de los frutos. A pesar de tener un uso extendido, los frutos de melocotón sometidos a almacenamiento prolongado en frío (CS) a menudo desarrollan una forma de daño por frío (CI) genéticamente controlada llamada harinosidad (mealiness/woolliness [WLT]): un desorden textural de la pulpa del fruto caracterizado por la perdida de suculencia Aunque durante el frío se han observado algunas alteraciones microscópicas, los síntomas visibles o macroscópicos de daño se desarrollan, no obstante, cuando los frutos se transfieren a temperatura ambiente (temperaturas de simulación de vida útil, …
Equality by reason of filiation and succession law
2019
El principio constitucional de igualdad en la filiación juega solamente en relación con sucesiones abiertas con posterioridad a la entrada en vigor de la constitución. Se examina la jurisprudencia más reciente sobre la materia. The constitutional principle of equality of filiation only applies to successions opened after the entry into force of the constitution. The paper reviews the most recent case law on the subject.
Financial assets and patrimonial issues in international families
2021
: The paper deals with patrimonial issues in International families and with the European Regulations 1103 and 1104/ 2016 together with regulation 650/2012. The paper particularly focuses on financial assets: Bank Account; Share of Investments Funds; Life Insurance; Virtual assets like criptovalutes; real estate wealth. This perspective implies the need to find the rule governing the succession or the families? patrimonial issues, also taking into account the different rules in the different states concerned of the contracts that govern the circulation of such goods.
Non-existence of unfair delay in the exercise of claim actio for amounts unduly collected. Comment on Spanish STS no. 243/2019, of April (RJ 2019, 15…
2020
El Tribunal Supremo considera que el mero retraso en el ejercicio de una acción de reclamación de cantidad no puede ser considerado por si sólo constitutivo de retraso desleal. Además, es necesario que previamente al ejercicio del derecho existan hechos, actos o conductas que provoquen en el obligado la confianza de que el derecho en su contra no se ejercitará. The Supreme Court considers that the mere delay in the exercise of an action of claim of quantity cannot be considered to constitute unfair delay. In addition, it is necessary that prior to the exercise of the right there are facts, acts or conducts that cause int the obliged the confidence that the right against him will not be exer…
Different approaches to marriage downgrading : from an anti-elusive measure to an antidiscriminatory claim
2021
The essay focuses on the different mechanisms of marriage downgrading. Given the principle of ?cross-border continuity? of statuses, limits to this continuity are sometimes admitted and they are placed through downgrading mechanisms. That can occour in the case of same-sex marriages transcription in a Member State which does not allow such marriages, but which does allow samesex registered partnerships. Downgrading mechanism has an anti-elusive function, but it is not without problems in terms of discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. A different approach is taken in the case of an opposite-sex couple requesting the downgrading of their marriage, celebrated before the Member S…
