  abstract  = {FinO-domain proteins are a widespread family of bacterial RNA-binding proteins with regulatory functions. Their target spectrum ranges from a single RNA pair, in the case of plasmid-encoded FinO, to global RNA regulons, as with enterobacterial ProQ. To assess whether the FinO domain itself is intrinsically selective or promiscuous, we determine in vivo targets of Neisseria meningitidis, which consists of solely a FinO domain. UV-CLIP-seq identifies associations with 16 small non-coding sRNAs and 166 mRNAs. Meningococcal ProQ predominantly binds to highly structured regions and generally acts to stabilize its RNA targets. Loss of ProQ alters transcript levels of >250 genes, demonstrating that this minimal ProQ protein impacts gene expression globally. Phenotypic analyses indicate that ProQ promotes oxidative stress resistance and DNA damage repair. We conclude that FinO domain proteins recognize some abundant type of RNA shape and evolve RNA binding selectivity through acquisition of additional regions that constrain target recognition. FinO-domain proteins are bacterial RNA-binding proteins with a wide range of target specificities. Here, the authors employ UV CLIP-seq and show that minimal ProQ protein of Neisseria meningitidis binds to various small non-coding RNAs and mRNAs involved in virulence.},

  abstract  = {Candida albicans and Candida dubliniensis are pathogenic fungi that are highly related but differ in virulence and in some phenotypic traits. During in vitro growth on certain nutrient-poor media, C. albicans and C. dubliniensis are the only yeast species which are able to produce chlamydospores, large thick-walled cells of unknown function. Interestingly, only C. dubliniensis forms pseudohyphae with abundant chlamydospores when grown on Staib medium, while C. albicans grows exclusively as a budding yeast. In order to further our understanding of chlamydospore development and assembly, we compared the global transcriptional profile of both species during growth in liquid Staib medium by RNA sequencing. We also included a C. albicans mutant in our study which lacks the morphogenetic transcriptional repressor Nrg1. This strain, which is characterized by its constitutive pseudohyphal growth, specifically produces masses of chlamydospores in Staib medium, similar to C. dubliniensis. This comparative approach identified a set of putatively chlamydospore-related genes. Two of the homologous C. albicans and C. dubliniensis genes (CSP1 and CSP2) which were most strongly upregulated during chlamydospore development were analysed in more detail. By use of the green fluorescent protein as a reporter, the encoded putative cell wall related proteins were found to exclusively localize to C. albicans and C. dubliniensis chlamydospores. Our findings uncover the first chlamydospore specific markers in Candida species and provide novel insights in the complex morphogenetic development of these important fungal pathogens.},

  abstract  = {A completely decomposable group is a direct sum of subgroups of the rationals. An almost completely decomposable group is a torsion free abelian group that contains a completely decomposable group as subgroup of finite index. Tight subgroups are maximal subgroups (with respect to set inclusion) among the completely decomposable subgroups of an almost completely decomposable group. In this dissertation we show an extended version of the theorem of Bezout, give a new criterion for the tightness of a completely decomposable subgroup, derive some conditions under which a tight subgroup is regulating and generalize a theorem of Campagna. We give an example of an almost completely decomposable group, all of whose regulating subgroups do not have a quotient with minimal exponent. We show that among the types of elements of a coset modulo a completely decomposable group there exists a unique maximal type and define this type to be -the- coset type. We give criteria for tightness and regulating in term of coset types as well as a representation of the type subgroups using coset types. We introduce the notion of reducible cosets and show their key role for transitions from one completely decomposable subgroup up to another one containing the first one as a proper subgroup. We give an example of a tight, but not regulating subgroup which contains the regulator. We develop the notion of a fully single covered subset of a lattice, show that V-free implies fully single covered, but not necessarily vice versa, and we define an equivalence relation on the set of all finite subsets of a given lattice. We develop some extension of ordinary Hasse diagrams, and apply the lattice theoretic results on the lattice of types and almost completely decomposable groups.},
