Role of the mitochondrial tRNA-dependent transamidation pathway in the respiration adaptation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
No full textLa formation du glutaminyl (Q)-tRNAQ cytoplasmique (c) permettant l’insertion de Q dans les protéines lors de la traduction ribosomale se fait généralement par aminoacylation directe de l’ARNt par une Q-ARNt synthétase (QRS). Cependant les mécanismes de synthèse du QtRNAQ
mitochondrial (m) requis pour le bon fonctionnement de la machinerie traductionnelle organellaire ne sont toujours pas bien caractérisés. En effet, aucune mQRS n’a été retrouvée dans les génomes eucaryotiques séquencés jusqu’à ce jour. Ainsi, il est impossible de prédire quelle voie génère cet aminoacyl (aa)-ARNt dans un eucaryote donné.
Les eucaryotes ont à priori deux possibilités pour générer du Q-mtRNAQ: soit utiliser la voie directe via l’import de cQRS, ou alors utiliser une voie ARNt-dépendante de transamidation, ce qui requiert dans ce cas la présence d’une ERS non discriminante (nd) et d’une amidotransférase ARNt-dépendante (AdT) dans la mitochondrie. Nous avons montré que la protéine Pet112 fait partie d’une amidotransférase, mais également que la ndERS essentielle à la voie est l’ERS du cytoplasme qui est capable de se relocaliser dans la mitochondrie. La double localisation de la nd-cERS est contrôlée par Arc1p, son partenaire cytoplasmique.
Ces résultats représentent une avancée intéressante dans le domaine de l’aminoacylation et de l’import mitochondrial. En effet nous décrivons une nouvelle stratégie : l’utilisation d’une plateforme d’ancrage cytoplasmique afin de réguler la capacité de double-localisation d’un
seul et même produit traductionnel, suggérant que toute protéine dans un complexe pourrait être capable d’atteindre d’autres compartiments une fois relâchées. Nous avons alors montré que la transcription d’ARC1 est contrôlée par la voie de signalisation Snf1/4 qui induit la diminution de la quantité d’Arc1p lors de l’adaptation à la respiration.
Cependant ses deux partenaires, la cERS et la cMRS, restent exprimées de manière stable ce qui induit une augmentation de la quantité de leur forme libre. Les cMRS et cERS libres sont alors capables d’être importées dans le noyau et la mitochondrie respectivement, dans le but de synchroniser l’expression des partenaires de la chaîne respiratoire (RC). En effet, les partenaires de la RC sont encodés de manière séparée dans le noyau et la mitochondrie, la
cMRS promeut la transcription d’une partie des gènes de la RC qui sont encodés dans le noyau, alors que la cERS augmente le taux de traduction des partenaires de la RC produits dans la mitochondrie. En prouvant qu’Arc1p est un relai essentiel pour la voie Snf1/4 et l’adaptation à la respiration, nous décrivons pour la première fois un mécanisme de synchronisation de la chaine respiratoire. C’est ce concept qui semble être le point le plus important de mon travail, nous montrons les avantages que représente l’utilisation d’un complexe protéique en tant qu’élément synchroniseur de l’expression de gènes présents dans différents compartiments. Nous pouvons en effet penser que ce mécanisme est utilisé pour beaucoup d’autres fonctions
où la synchronisation des différents acteurs est essentielle.The formation of cytoplasmic (c) glutaminyl (Q)-tRNAQ allowing insertion of Q into proteins during ribosome-mediated translation proceeds via direct tRNA aminoacylation by a specific Q-tRNA synthetase (QRS). However, the synthesis of mitochondrial (m) Q-tRNAQ required for the specific organellar translation system is still matter of debate. In fact, no mQRS can be found in any eukaryotic genomes sequenced so far. Thus, it is almost impossible to predict which pathway, direct or indirect, generates this organellar aminoacyl (aa)-tRNA species in a given eukaryote. Eukaryotes have, a priori, two possibilities to generate a Q-mtRNAQ: either they use the direct pathway via the import the cQRS or they use an indirect tRNA-dependent transamidation pathway which implies the presence of a non discriminating (nd) ERS and of a tRNA-dependent amidotransferase (AdT) in the organelle.
We have shown that Pet112 is a part of a yeast mitochondrial amidotransferase, but also that the necessary ndERS is the cytoplasmic form of ERS (nd-cERS) which is able to be localized both in the cytoplasm and the mitochondrion. The dual localization of the nd-cERS is controlled by Arc1p, the cytoplasmic partner of the nd-cERS. This project represents an important breakthrough in the fields of aminoacylation and mitochondrial import. We describe a new strategy: the use of a cytosolic anchoring platform, for the dual localization of a single translational product, suggesting that any protein in a complex, even if well characterized in a specific subcellular compartment, might be able to reach other compartments upon release from the complex. We then show that ARC1 transcription is controlled by the Snf1/4 pathway that decreases Arc1p upon adaptation to respiration. However, its two partners, cERS and cMRS, stay stably expressed leading to an increase of the free cMRS and cERS pools. These released forms are then imported in the nucleus and the mitochondria respectively, in order to synchronize expression of respiratory chain (RC) partners. RC partners are encoded in a split manner in the nucleus and the mitochondrion, cMRS promotes transcription of a subset of the RC genes encoded by the nucleus, whereas cERS increase the translation rate of mitochondrial-encoded partners of the RC. By proving that Arc1p is an essential relay for the Snf1/4 pathway we propose for the first time a mechanism explaining how synchronization of the RC gene expression is achieved. This represents the most important conceptual change we made, in which we show the advantages of the dynamic control of a protein complex as a strategy to synchronize gene expression of genomes located in different compartments
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
