A set of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), amongst others the brain-specific double-stranded RBP Staufen2 (Stau2) and Pumilio2 (Pum2) critically contribute to these processes. However, the...

To this end, we build on the iCLIP technology to map protein-RNA interaction sites throughout the transcriptome. We have set up ´in vitro iCLIP´ that combines the strength of biochemical experiments with the power of high-throughput sequencing, and we developed a massively parallel reporter screen to identify all cis-regulatory elements that control selected splicing decisions. This experimental setup enables us to obtain mechanistic insights...

It is now well appreciated that the human genome encodes tens of thousands of distinct lncRNA transcripts, and an increasing number are implicated as regulators in critical pathways in health and disease. The mechanisms underlying their activity, to what extent these rely on specific sequences or structures, and how they are...

These targets comprise Master Regulator proteins, whose concerted aberrant activity within tightly regulated modules (tumor checkpoints) is responsible for the mechanistic implementation and maintenance of specific tumor cell states. By leveraging these methodologies, we have developed NY CLIA certified...

It also causes photooxidative stress and cellular damage by generating highly reactive oxygen species like singlet oxygen, which attack cellular proteins, DNA and lipids. We study the molecular mechanisms by which the Gram-negative, predatory soil bacterium Myxococcus xanthus responds to light and their evolutionary conservation from bacteria to...

The functional characterization of the endosomal Rab5 machinery using biochemical and biophysical approaches has revealed new properties for the self-organization and mechanics of the endosomal membrane. Endosomes are important organelles for the...
