Siderophore production and function in the geosphere: experimental studies and field measurements of mineral weathering and biomineralization. Microorganisms are known to affect mineral weathering rates and the mobilization of essential and toxic metals in the environment. They can release strong organic complex chelators, so-called siderophores, which have a high affinity for metals. These low-molecular mass [...]
Epigenetics is defined as inherited changes in gene expression that are not encoded in the DNA sequence. The major epigenetic mechanisms are DNA methylation, post-translational histone modifications, RNA interference and microRNAs. Unlike classical genetics the epigenetic signature is dynamic changing with age and is influenced by environmental factors such as diet, illness, smoking and alcohol [...]
Recently a new mechanism of disease has been identified in the congenital (autosomal recessive) muscular dystrophies that are due to a defect in the glycosylation of alpha dystroglycan. These forms of muscular dystrophy are now known collectively as the dystroglycanopathies. To date mutations in six genes encoding either known or putative glycosyltransferases have been associated [...]
