1. Postnatal dynamics of Zeb2 expression in rat brain : analysis of novel 3′ UTR sequence reveals a miR-9 interacting siteKlara Kropivšek, Jasmine Pickford, David A. Carter, 2014, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: ZEB2 is a transcription factor with established roles in neurogenesis but no defined function in postnatal brain despite extensive neuronal expression in telencephalic structures. Multiple, incompletely annotated transcripts derive from the Zeb2 locus; the purpose of the present study was to structurally characterize rat brain Zeb2 transcripts with respect to 3′ untranslated (UTR) sequence in order to understand Zeb2 transcript regulation including possible interactions with regulatory molecules such as neuronal miRNAs. We cloned a 5054-nucleotide Zeb2 3′ UTR that is included in the most abundant Zeb2 transcript in neonatal rat brain. Unique features of the distal 3′ UTR region included a number of brain-specific miRNA target sites; a highly conserved miR-9 target site at 3′ UTR position 4097 was selected for functional verification in transfection experiments. Parallel analysis of Zeb2 transcript, ZEB2 protein and miR-9 levels across postnatal brain cortical development revealed a significant accumulation of ZEB2 protein levels only between postnatal days P2 and P5 that was associated with an acute loss of postnatal miR-9 expression in cortex. These studies demonstrate novel features of Zeb2 gene expression in postnatal rat brain and highlight the importance of full transcript annotation for identifying the complement of potential transcript-interacting regulators.

7. Classification of gamma-ray targets for velocity-dependent and subhalo-boosted dark-matter annihilationThomas Lacroix, Gaetán Facchinetti, Judit Pérez Romero, Martin Stref, Julien Lavalle, David Maurin, Miguel Sánchez-Conde, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Gamma-ray observations have long been used to constrain the properties of dark matter (DM), with a strong focus on weakly interacting massive particles annihilating through velocity-independent processes. However, in the absence of clear-cut observational evidence for the simplest candidates, the interest of the community in more complex DM scenarios involving a velocity-dependent cross-section has been growing steadily over the past few years. We present the first systematic study of velocity-dependent DM annihilation (in particular p-wave annihilation and Sommerfeld enhancement) in a variety of astrophysical objects, not only including the well-studied Milky Way dwarf satellite galaxies, but nearby dwarf irregular galaxies and local galaxy clusters as well. Particular attention is given to the interplay between velocity dependence and DM halo substructure. Uncertainties related to halo mass, phase-space and substructure modelling are also discussed in this velocity-dependent context. We show that, for s-wave annihilation, extremely large subhalo boost factors are to be expected, up to 10^11 in clusters and up to 10^6–10^7 in dwarf galaxies where subhalos are usually assumed not to play an important role. Boost factors for p-wave annihilation are smaller but can still reach 10^3 in clusters. The angular extension of the DM signal is also significantly impacted, with e.g. the cluster typical emission radius increasing by a factor of order 10 in the s-wave case. We also compute the signal contrast of the objects in our sample with respect to annihilation happening in the Milky Way halo. Overall, we find that the hierarchy between the brightest considered targets depends on the specific details of the assumed particle-physics model.

8. The molecular toolbox of ectomycorrhizal-driven phosphate mineral weatheringChristina Paparokidou, Leake Jonathan R., Rolfe Stephen A., Beerling David J., 2022, objavljeni povzetek znanstvenega prispevka na konferenci Opis: Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) form symbiotic partnerships with tree roots and are able to
chemically weather inorganic phosphorus (Pi)-rich minerals, supplying Pi to their host in
return for photosynthates. The fungal-driven nutrient cycling from mineral weathering
plays a pivotal role in ecosystems and crops productivity, as well as geochemical cycles.
The aim of the study presented in this thesis is to unravel the molecular mechanisms by
which the EM fungus Paxillus involutus weathers the Pi-rich mineral hydroxyapatite
(HAP), either non-symbiotically or in symbiosis with its host tree Pinus sylvestris.
Development of an artificial system to study P. involutus responses to varying
concentration of Pi led to the identification of five high-affinity Pi transporter genes, of
which the expression varies in an inversely proportional manner to Pi availability. Using
the same system, whole-transcriptomic data from fungal hyphae unravelled the molecular
basis of the EMF ability in Pi uptake at the global gene scale, revealing that EM symbiosis
can directly affect Pi-responsive fungal genes such as the Pi transporter PiPT4. A second
artificial system was used to study HAP solubilisation driven by P. involutus, which was
confirmed by EDX spectroscopy data showing depletion of Pi from the HAP crystals,
along with secondary minerals formation. Whole-transcriptomic analysis revealed that EM
symbiosis induces a different set of HAP weathering genes in P. involutus hyphae,
compared to the fungus growing non-symbiotically, including the specific expression of
organic acid metabolic genes, which resulted in enhanced HAP solubilisation.
Metabolomic analysis led to the identification of multiple secreted metabolites enriched in
the presence of HAP in P. involutus systems grown non-symbiotically or in symbiosis with
P. sylvestris seedlings. The analysis also led to the identification of putative novel fungal
weathering agents. Results from transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were
ultimately combined in a model of HAP weathering by P. involutus.
