Adaptation to cellular stresses entails an incompletely understood coordination of transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene regulation. Here, we quantified hypoxia-dependent transcriptomes, epigenomes and translatomes in T47D breast cancer cells and H9 human embryonic stem cells. This reveal...
Cells must continuously adjust metabolic output to maintain homeostasis under changing environmental conditions, yet the mechanisms that enable rapid and reversible control of pathway activity remain largely unknown. The methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, of bacterial origin and conserved ...
Cells maintain metabolite homeostasis (metabolostasis) by buffering fluctuations in metabolite levels, yet the limits of this buffering and the mechanisms underlying metabolic toxicity remain poorly understood. To study this, we systematically overfed metabolites in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and q...
Gene duplication is a major driver of biological complexity, yet the persistence of highly similar paralogous factors suggests the existence of context-dependent functions that remain incompletely understood. Certain conserved components of the mammalian RNA processing machinery exhibit striking ...
Microorganisms can adopt a quiescent physiological condition which acts as a survival strategy under unfavourable conditions. Quiescent cells are characterized by slow or non-proliferation and deep down-regulation of processes related to biosynthesis. Although quiescence has been described mostly...
