The kiss of life: Aurora A embraces the phosphate of its cofactor Bora to trigger mitotic entry
La plupart des organismes vivants pluricellulaires sont constitués d’un grand nombre de cellules très différentes. À l’exception des gamètes, qui sont le produit d’une division cellulaire particulière (méiose), toutes…

Paramecium Polycomb repressive complex 2 physically interacts with the small RNA-binding PIWI protein to repress transposable elements
Summary
Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) maintains transcriptionally silent genes in a repressed state via deposition of histone H3K27-trimethyl (me3) marks. PRC2 has also been implicated in silencing transposable elements (TEs), yet how PRC2…
Sandra Duharcourt, Director of Research at the CNRS and head of the "Epigenetic Regulation of Genome Organization" team at the Institut Jacques Monod (CNRS / Université Paris Cité), is the recipient of the 2022 CNRS Silver Medal.
The CNRS Silver Medal is awarded to researchers for the originality, quality and importance of their work, recognised at…
The “Mechanotransduction: from Cell Surface to Nucleus” team led by Nicolas Borghi at the Institut Jacques Monod (UMR7592 CNRS/Université Paris Cité, Paris, France) is looking for applicants to fill two post-doctoral positions by the end of 2022.
A first position is available right now to investigate mechanotransduction at the cell cortex and to understand how…

A complete temporal transcription factor series in the fly visual system
Abstract
The brain consists of thousands of neuronal types that are generated by stem cells producing different neuronal types as they age. In Drosophila, this temporal patterning is driven by the successive expression…
Courtier Lab: Non-visual cues and indirect strategies that enable discrimination of asymmetric mates
Congratulations to Roshan Kumar Vijendravarma (Courtier Lab) for this new article published with Pierre Leopold (Institut Curie) in Ecology and Evolution:
Non-visual cues and indirect strategies that enable discrimination of asymmetric mates
Abstract
The postulates of developmental instability–sexual selection hypothesis is intensely debated among evolutionary biologists, wherein despite a large amount of empirical data, evidence for…

GC content, but not nucleosome positioning, directly contributes to intron splicing efficiency in Paramecium
Abstract
Eukaryotic genes are interrupted by introns that must be accurately spliced from mRNA precursors. With an average length of 25 nt, the more than 90,000 introns of Paramecium tetraurelia stand among the…
The Monod-Diderot Lectures receive Claude Desplan (Silver Professor of Biology and Neuroscience, NYU Department of Biology, New York University) on 19 April 2022 at 11:45 am in the Buffon amphitheatre.
He will speak on the theme :
Spatial and temporal cues for the generation of neuronal diversity
Claude Desplan is a Silver Professor of Biology and Neuro-science…
The Azimzadeh Lab has just published a new study in elife :
Evolutionary conservation of centriole rotational asymmetry in the human centrosome
Abstract
Centrioles are formed by microtubule triplets in a nine-fold symmetric arrangement. In flagellated protists and in animal multiciliated cells, accessory structures tethered to specific triplets render the centrioles rotationally asymmetric, a property that…
