Chromosome-end protection is crucial for genome stability, with telomere loops (t-loops) thought to play an important protective role. In most cell types, t-loop stabilization relies on the shelterin protein TRF2, while the regulatory pathways in pluripotent cells remain undefined.
“Molecular and Cellular Responses to the Shortest Telomere in Saccharomyces cerevisiae”
directed by Dr Teresa Teixeira.
The defense will take place on Friday, October 11, 2024, at 2:00 PM, in the Edmond de Rothschild Library at the Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique (IBPC), located at 13 rue Pierre et Marie Curie, 75005 Paris.
Outer mitochondrial membrane fusion, a vital cellular process, is mediated by mitofusins. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive.
Telomere maintenance is a universal hallmark of cancers to sustain the unlimited proliferative potential. In ~85% of cancers, telomere shortening is mitigated by reactivated telomerase expression while the other ~15% use a recombination-based mechanism, termed Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT).
Replicative senescence is triggered when telomeres reach critically short length and activate permanent DNA damage checkpoint-dependent cell cycle arrest.
