Caractérisation de l’interaction des protéines IMA/MIF2 et CSN5 au niveau moléculaire et physiologique
No full textLes plantes ont la capacité à former de nouveaux organes grâce à une croissance continue assurée par une réserve de cellules souches au sein de structures spécifiques, les méristèmes. Les méristèmes floraux diffèrent des méristèmes végétatifs par leur caractère déterminé aboutissant à la production des fleurs. Le gène IMA (INHIBITOR OF MERISTEM ACTIVITY) code une protéine contenant un motif «doigt à zinc» (MIF) régulant les processus développementaux de la fleur et des ovules chez la tomate. En effet, IMA inhibe la prolifération cellulaire au cours de la terminaison florale en agissant sur l’expression du gène WUSCHEL, responsable du maintien du pool de cellules souches et contrôle le nombre de carpelles (Sicard et al., 2008). De plus, les protéines IMA et son orthologue chez Arabidopsis, MIF2, modulent la réponse à certaines phytohormones. De manière identique à la protéine MIF1 (Hu and Ma, 2006), IMA/MIF2 régule négativement la réponse aux brassinostéroïdes, à l’auxine, aux cytokinines et aux gibbérellines mais positivement la réponse à l’acide abscissique suggérant une fonction commune des protéines MIF dans les voies de réponse aux phytohormones. Un criblage d’une banque d’ADNc par la technique de double hybride a permis de révéler l’interaction entre les protéines IMA/MIF2 et une sous-unité du complexe signalosome, CSN5. De façon intéressante, les plantes mutantes csn5 d’Arabidopsis montrent de nombreuses altérations phénotypiques telles qu’un aspect buissonnant résultant de la perte de la dominance apicale, et une altération de la réponse à l’obscurité et à l’auxine. Ces phénotypes sont fortement ressemblants aux phénotypes des plantes MIF1OE d’Arabidopsis (Hu and Ma, 2006) et des plantes IMAOE de tomate (Sicard et al., 2008). Les résultats obtenus au cours de ce projet montrent que la protéine IMA inhibe la fonction du complexe signalosome grâce à son interaction avec la protéine CSN5.Plants have the ability to form new organs as a result of indeterminate growth ensured by specific regions of pluripotent cells, called meristems. Flowers are produced by the activity of floral meristems which differ from vegetative meristems in their determinate fate. The INHIBITOR OF MERISTEM ACTIVITY (IMA) gene encoding a Mini Zinc Finger (MIF) protein from tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) regulates the processes of flower and ovule development. IMA inhibits cell proliferation during floral termination, controls the number of carpels during floral development and acts as a repressor of the meristem organizing centre gene WUSCHEL (Sicard et al., 2008). We demonstrated that IMA and its Arabidopsis ortholog MIF2 is also involved in a multiple hormonal signalling pathway, as a putative conserved feature for plant MIF proteins (Hu and Ma, 2006). Alike Arabidopsis MIF1, IMA/MIF2 regulates negatively BR, auxin, cytokinin and gibberellin signalling and positively ABA signaling. Using yeast two-hybrid screening experiments, we identified a strong protein-protein interaction between IMA and the signalosome subunit 5 (CSN5). Interestingly the csn5 mutant in Arabidopsis displays pleiotropic developmental defects such as a bushy phenotype originating from the loss of apical dominance and the alteration in sensitivity to darkness and auxin signals. These phenotypes are strikingly similar to what was described for Arabidopsis MIF1 (Hu and Ma, 2006) and tomato IMA overexpressors plants (Sicard et al., 2008), respectively. Taken together our data strongly suggest that IMA may act as an inhibitor of CSN function through its physical interaction with SlCSN5. The observed converse effects of IMA/MIF2 overexpression or deregulation on plant development and the abundance of developmental marker genes further support the notion of a CSN inhibitory control, since the COP9 signalosome through the specific deneddylation activity of the CSN5 subunit regulates plant hormone signalling

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
