Full textC/EBPα and C/EBPβ regulate cell proliferation and differentiation in multiple cell types. Moreover, C/EBPα and C/EBPβ are known to play oncogenic roles in acute myeloid leukemia and anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCLs). In this study C/EBPα is screened for novel posttranslational modifications (PTMs), such as arginine methylation and citrullination, as well as lysine methylation and acetylation by using mass spectrometry. A in this survey identified C/EBPα site of arginine citrullination and the C/EBPα lysine sumoylation are scrutinized for their impact on C/EBPα protein interaction network. A new high-throughput method named Protein Interaction Screen on peptide Matrices (PrISMa) is introduced in this study. This method was developed to determine the C/EBPβ protein interaction network in a PTM dependent manner. The PrISMa survey is based on a peptide membrane spotted with C/EBPβ peptides. Many of these C/EBPβ peptide sequences contain amino acid sequences comprising arginine and lysine methylation, lysine acetylation, arginine citrullination and serine, tyrosine and threonine phosphorylation. By means of PrISMa the C/EBPβ interplay with histone acetyltransferases, the mediator complex, proteins of the nucleoplasmic transport and RNA processing proteins is verified and specified by mapping these interactions to C/EBPβ amino acid sequences. Furthermore, PrISMa provides a map of C/EBPβ protein interaction patterns for a great number of the up to date published C/EBPβ protein interaction partners. C/EBPβ is highly expressed in ALCL cell lines and is essential for the cell proliferation of this type of cancer. In this study the C/EBPβ protein-protein interaction pattern in an ALCL cell line is unraveled providing valuable insight into the protein interaction network of C/EBPβ as an oncogene.

Full textGlycosylphosphatidylinositols (GPIs) are essential glycolipid modification of certain eukaryotic secretory proteins. Their primary function is to anchor a protein to the surface of a cell. However, GPIs have also been implicated in many important cellular processes such as cell adhesion, fungal pathogenesis, and cell wall formation. All GPI anchors share a highly conserved core structure of protein-CO-PEthN-6Manα1-2Manα1-6Manα1-4GlcNH2αl-6myo-inositol-PO4-lipid which is synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum. In both S. Cerevisiae and humans, the GPI biosynthesis pathway involves more than ten enzymatic steps for which at least one protein has been identified except for addition of the second mannose. I devised a bioinformatics-based strategy to identify a previously uncharacterized protein, Gpi 18p, which is responsible for addition of intermediate lipid having an EthN-P side-branch indicating that EthN-P addition to GPI glycans may occur earlier in GPI biosynthesis than previously thought. . .

Full textThe positional information during multicellular organisms development is, in most cases, given by molecules called morphogens. These molecules are synthesized in a localized fashion and spread in target tissues, establishing a decreasing concentration gradient and regulate the expression of target genes in a dose dependant manner. Among morphogens, molecules of the Hedgehog family (Hh) are involved in regulating many developmental processes in both Drosophila and vertebrates. A key step in regulating this pathway is the molecular mechanisms that control the formation of concentration gradient in the target territory. Several factors regulating the movement of Hh in the extracellular space, have been identified among which the macromolecules belonging to the family of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPG). The HSPG are extracellular components consisting of a core protein which is linked covalently to polysaccharide chains. During their biosynthesis, these chains, called HS chains, can be modified by the addition of sulfate groups at different positions leading to establishment of distinct profiles and thus a great variety of HSPGs. The recent identification of secreted sulfatases that catalyze the specific removal of sulfate groups in position 6-O oh HS (6-O-endosulfatase) indicates that the sulfation pattern of HSPG may also be modulated in the extracellular space. During my thesis work, we identified DSulf1, the only gene encoding for a 6-O-endosulfatase in Drosophila as a novel regulator of the Hh signaling pathway during wing development. In particular, I showed that DSulf1, by modulating the distribution of Hh morphogen at the apical pole of cells, can accurately position the expression domains of Hh target genes in the wing imaginal disc, larval structure giving rise to the adult wing. Interestingly, we demonstrated that this enzyme, by the same effects on Hh release, has two distinct functions in this tissue. Indeed, DSulf1 behaves as a positive regulator in Hh producing cells, allowing an enhanced release of the Hh morphogen towards its target field. Conversely, in the target tissue, it acts as a negative regulator, likely by destabilizing the binding of Hh/ HSPG interaction required for efficient activation of the signal transduction pathway. We have also shown that Dsulf1 expression is dynamic and it starts secondarily to the expression of Hh target genes. Our work shows that Dsulf1 expression depends on EGFR signaling pathway, which is itself positioned by the Hh morphogen. These results enabled us to propose that DSulf1 is part of a feedback loop that maintains in space and time expression domains of Hh target genes during Drosophila wing development

Full textThe objective of this thesis work was is the study of post-translationnal modifications (PTM) of the protein ATF7. This protein is phosphorylated on several threonine (T) residues upon stress (UVs, osmotic chock). This allows the protein to be transcriptionally active. In the absence of stress, a fraction of the protein is sumoylated resulting in an inhibition of its transcriptional activity. The first project raise to the development of tools that will enable the study of the sumoylated form of ATF7 protein. This work raise to the development of tetrameric bispecific scFv possessing a simultaneously recognizing ability of the proteins ATF7 and SUMO1. The other main project was the study of ATF7 T112 phosphorylation in the absence of stress. The experiments drove in the lab have shown that thus threonine is phosphorylated during mitosis by a specific pathway, which includes the CDK1

Full textThe present thesis explores the world of ER (endoplasmic reticulum) stress biology. A global view of ER and ER stress is first provided with a transition from the basic mechanisms involved to possible clinical applications. The focus is then placed to the crucial role of the UPR in carcinogenesis that is activated in response to ER stress in the micro-environment of the tumor. After reviewing these aspects, we point to missing parts in our comprehension of how UPR signals are fine-tuned and lead to either restoration of ER and cell homeostasis or cell death. Among the UPR branches, ATF6 and IRE1 signaling become our focus of investigation because of their convergence in the regulation of the pro-survival factor XBP1s. On the one hand, we unravel mechanisms originating from the ER lumen that regulate the ATF6 activation in response to ER stress and affect its downstream cell adaptive signaling. On the other hand, we witness the existence of an auto-regulatory network of IRE1 RNase activity consisted of a tyrosine kinase-phosphatase system that targets RtcB and impacts on XBP1 mRNA splicing. Hence, through our studies we uncover an integrated signaling circuit that can fine-tune the cellular outputs of the joint ATF6 and IRE1 activation in response to ER stress

Full textEpigenetics can be defined as changes in the genome that are inherited during cell division, however without direct modify the DNA sequence. These genomic changes are supported by three major epigenetic mechanisms: DNA methylation, histone modification and small RNAs. Different epigenetic marks function by regulating gene transcription, because when these processes are altered, this triggers various diseases such as cancer. Thus, one main objective was to study the epigenetics signals in the human genome, meaning, whether there is dependence observed between the context and the occurrence of epigenomic marking. For this purpose we used histone epigenomes available in the NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Mapping Consortium database that contains various types of cells and various types of tissues. The present study employed different statistical methodologies, namely, statistical tests, effect size measures, residue analysis and hierarchical classification. With this analysis, we compared genomic contexts of epigenetic marking among chromosomes and among epigenomes. Complementing the analysis with a control scenario, without marking and factoring the CG content. As a result of this study, it was possible to identify one dependency between the context and the occurrence of epigenetic marking and we were able to identify specific genomic contexts in histone modifications.
A epigenética pode ser definida pela ocorrência de modificações no genoma, que são herdadas durante a divisão celular, não havendo no entanto modificações directas na sequência do DNA. Estas modificações genómicas são apoiadas em três grandes mecanismos epigenéticos: metilação do DNA, modificação de histonas e pequenos RNAs. Estas diferentes marcas epigenéticas podem ter como função regular a transcrição genética, pois quando existe algum tipo de alteração nestes processos, pode desencadear-se em diversas patologias como o cancro. Assim, o objectivo principal deste trabalho é estudar os sinais epigenéticos no genoma humano, ou seja, observar se existe dependência entre o contexto e a ocorrência da marcação epigenómica. Para esse efeito foram utilizados os epigenomas das histonas disponíveis na base de dados do NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Mapping Consortium que contêm vários tipos de células e vários tipos de tecidos. No presente estudo são empregues diferentes metodologias estatísticas, nomeadamente testes estatísticos, medidas do tamanho do efeito, análise de resíduos e classificação hierárquica. Com esta análise, comparam-se contextos genómicos da marcação epigenética entre cromossomas e entre epigenomas. Complementando a análise com um cenário de controlo, sem marcação e factorizando pelo teor de CG. Foi possível identificar uma dependência entre o contexto e a ocorrência de marcação epigenética, sendo possível identificar contextos genómicos específicos para as modificações das histonas.

Full textThe equine luteinizing hormone (eLH) and the equine chorionic gonadotrophin (eCG) activate cell signaling from two distinct GPCRs in non-equine species: the LH receptor (LHR) and the FSH (Follicle stimulating Hormone) receptor (FSHR). Structural modifications of glycanic chains of eLH or conformational modification of eCG consecutive to its interaction with an antibody (Ab) both led to a modulation of the native hormone’s biological efficacy. In order to understand the molecular mechanisms induced by the 2 type of hormone modifications, we have studied their impact on 2 of the signaling pathways triggered by FSHR: the G protein-and the b-arrestin-dependent pathway. Our results demonstrate that modifications induce signaling bias. We conclude that our finding might lead the way to a new generation of gonadotrophins’ modulating drugs with promising applications in animal breeding and in Human medicine

Full textEsta tesis se llevó a cabo en el Grup en Tecnologies Mèdia de la Escuela de Ingeniería y Arquitectura la Salle. El grupo lleva una larga trayectoria dentro del campo de la síntesis de voz y cuenta con su propio sistema de síntesis por concatenación de unidades (US-TTS). El sistema permite sintetizar múltiples estilos expresivos mediante el uso de corpus específicos para cada estilo expresivo. De este modo, para realizar una síntesis agresiva, el sistema usa el corpus de este estilo, y para un estilo sensual, usa otro corpus específico para ese estilo. La presente tesis aborda el problema con un enfoque distinto proponiendo cambios en el esquema del sistema con el fin de mejorar la flexibilidad para sintetizar múltiples estilos expresivos a partir de un único corpus de estilo de habla neutro. El planteamiento seguido en esta tesis esta basado en el uso de técnicas de procesamiento de señales (DSP) para llevar a cabo modificaciones del señal de voz para que este exprese el estilo de habla deseado. Para llevar acabo las modificaciones de la señal de voz se han usado los modelos harmónico más ruido (HNM) por su flexibilidad para efectuar modificaciones de señales. La cualidad de la voz (VoQ) juega un papel importante en diferentes estilos expresivos. Por ello se exploró la síntesis expresiva basada en modificaciones de parámetros de bajo nivel de la VoQ. Durante este estudio se detectaron diferentes problemas que dieron pié a los objetivos planteados en esta tesis, entre ellos el encontrar un único parámetro con fuerte influencia en la expresividad. El parámetro seleccionado fue el esfuerzo vocal (VE) por su importante papel a la hora de expresar diferentes emociones. Las primeras pruebas se realizaron con el fin de transferir el VE entre dos realizaciones con diferente grado de VE de la misma palabra usando una metodología basada en un proceso filtrado de pre-émfasis adaptativo con coeficientes de predicción lineales (APLP). Esta primera aproximación logró transferir el nivel de VE entre dos realizaciones de la misma palabra, sin embargo el proceso presentaba limitaciones para generar niveles de esfuerzo vocal intermedios. A fin de mejorar la flexibilidad y el control del sistema para expresar diferentes niveles de VE, se planteó un nuevo modelo de VE basado en polinomios lineales. Este modelo permitió transferir el VE entre dos palabras diferentes e incluso generar nuevos niveles no presentes en el corpus usado para la síntesis. Esta flexibilidad está alineada con el objetivo general de esta tesis de permitir a un sistema US-TTS expresar múltiples estilos de habla expresivos a partir de un único corpus de estilo neutro. Además, la metodología propuesta incorpora un parámetro que permite de forma sencilla controlar el nivel de VE expresado en la voz sintetizada. Esto abre la posibilidad de controlar fácilmente el proceso de síntesis tal y como se hizo en el proyecto CreaVeu usando interfaces simples e intuitivas, también realizado dentro del grupo GTM. Esta memoria concluye con una revisión del trabajo realizado en esta tesis y con una propuesta de modificación de un esquema de US-TTS para expresar diferentes niveles de VE a partir de un único corpus neutro.
This thesis was conducted in the Grup en Tecnologies M`edia (GTM) from Escola d’Enginyeria i Arquitectura la Salle. The group has a long trajectory in the speech synthesis field and has developed their own Unit-Selection Text-To-Speech (US-TTS) which is able to convey multiple expressive styles using multiple expressive corpora, one for each expressive style. Thus, in order to convey aggressive speech, the US-TTS uses an aggressive corpus, whereas for a sensual speech style, the system uses a sensual corpus. Unlike that approach, this dissertation aims to present a new schema for enhancing the flexibility of the US-TTS system for performing multiple expressive styles using a single neutral corpus. The approach followed in this dissertation is based on applying Digital Signal Processing (DSP) techniques for carrying out speech modifications in order to synthesize the desired expressive style. For conducting the speech modifications the Harmonics plus Noise Model (HNM) was chosen for its flexibility in conducting signal modifications. Voice Quality (VoQ) has been proven to play an important role in different expressive styles. Thus, low-level VoQ acoustic parameters were explored for conveying multiple emotions. This raised several problems setting new objectives for the rest of the thesis, among them finding a single parameter with strong impact on the expressive style conveyed. Vocal Effort (VE) was selected for conducting expressive speech style modifications due to its salient role in expressive speech. The first approach working with VE was based on transferring VE between two parallel utterances based on the Adaptive Pre-emphasis Linear Prediction (APLP) technique. This approach allowed transferring VE but the model presented certain restrictions regarding its flexibility for generating new intermediate VE levels. Aiming to improve the flexibility and control of the conveyed VE, a new approach using polynomial model for modelling VE was presented. This model not only allowed transferring VE levels between two different utterances, but also allowed to generate other VE levels than those present in the speech corpus. This is aligned with the general goal of this thesis, allowing US-TTS systems to convey multiple expressive styles with a single neutral corpus. Moreover, the proposed methodology introduces a parameter for controlling the degree of VE in the synthesized speech signal. This opens new possibilities for controlling the synthesis process such as the one in the CreaVeu project using a simple and intuitive graphical interfaces, also conducted in the GTM group. The dissertation concludes with a review of the conducted work and a proposal for schema modifications within a US-TTS system for introducing the VE modification blocks designed in this dissertation.

Full textAntigen-induced NF-{kappa}B activation plays a crucial role in a large number of biological process including lymphocyte proliferation, activation, differentiation and protection against apoptosis. Progress have been made in the understanding of the molecular events leading to NF-{ kappa} B activation, but how this activation is regulated and controlled is largely misunderstood. Recent studies have shown that Bcl10 protein plays a key role in antigen-induced NF-{kappa}B activation. My work has unravelled that Bcl10 is not only a positive but also a negative regulator of antigen-induced NF-{kappa}B activation. I have shown that after TCR-induced NF-{kappa}B activation Bcl10 is phosphorylated by the NEMO/IKK complex and subsequently degraded by the proteasome. Interestingly, inhibiting the TCR-induced Bcl10 degradation either by mutating the phospho-acceptor sites or by using a proteasome inhibitor leads to the accumulation of Bcl10 inside the nucleus. This nuclear localisation of Bcl10 is a hallmark of some subtypes of Mucosa associated with lymphoid tissues lymphomas and mutations of BcllO phospho-acceptor sites could be involved in the pathogenesis of MALT lymphomas. The study of Bcl10 regulation mechanisms could allow us to better understand the molecular events involved in the pathogenesis of MALT lymphomas and lead to the design of new therapeutic agents

Abstract: Experimentally, in field and laboratory, using as models the species Uca leptodactyla e U. uruguayensis, we evaluated how the direct and the visual stimulus of an interspecific competitor can alter the aggressivity and agonistic behaviors in intraspecific fights. The cheliped extend (threat behavior), a less scalated behavior, occurred in less fights in the presence of the interspecific competitor, in the laboratory experiments. In U. leptodactyla, the interlace/grapple behavior, that indicate more escalated combats, occurred in more fights when in the presence of the direct stimulus of the interspecific, differing of the fights in the presence of the intraspecific stimulus. In the field experiments, there was a bigger number of the flick behavior, the most escalated in this study, in the fights of U. uruguayensis when in the absence of competitor’s stimulus. The results suggest that differences occur in the fights when interspecific competitors are present, occurring less threat behaviors. It seems that occur a misidentification of the specie identity when only exposed to visual cues of the competitors, not occurring differences between the groups with the intra- and interspecific stimulus. The data suggests differences in the offered threat by the interspecific between the species, and the assessment that the individuals do about their adversaries can lead to different response by the species.

Os resultados sugerem que na presença de interespecíficos ocorrem diferenças nas lutas, em que menos comportamentos de ameaça são utilizados. Parece haver identidade mal interpretada do estímulo visual dos competidores, pois não ocorrem diferenças entre os grupos com estímulo visual intra- e interespecífico. Os dados sugerem existir diferenças na ameaça oferecida pelo interespecífico para as diferentes espécies, e a avaliação que os indivíduos fazem dos adversários pode ter levado a respostas diferentes pelas espécies.
Experimentally, in field and laboratory, using as models the species Uca leptodactyla e U. uruguayensis, we evaluated how the direct and the visual stimulus of an interspecific competitor can alter the aggressivity and agonistic behaviors in intraspecific fights. The cheliped extend (threat behavior), a less scalated behavior, occurred in less fights in the presence of the interspecific competitor, in the laboratory experiments. In U. leptodactyla, the interlace/grapple behavior, that indicate more escalated combats, occurred in more fights when in the presence of the direct stimulus of the interspecific, differing of the fights in the presence of the intraspecific stimulus. In the field experiments, there was a bigger number of the flick behavior, the most escalated in this study, in the fights of U. uruguayensis when in the absence of competitor’s stimulus. The results suggest that differences occur in the fights when interspecific competitors are present, occurring less threat behaviors. It seems that occur a misidentification of the specie identity when only exposed to visual cues of the competitors, not occurring differences between the groups with the intra- and interspecific stimulus. The data suggests differences in the offered threat by the interspecific between the species, and the assessment that the individuals do about their adversaries can lead to different response by the species.

Full textThe P6 protein of Cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), a plant pararetrovirus, is a key component of the CaMV replication cycle. This multifunctional protein is involved in host specificity, symptoms expression, and in viral proteins synthesis from a polycistronic viral RNA through a noncanonical strategy. It also forms cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, called viroplasms, which are considered as viral factories. Finally, recent studies indicate that P6 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, suggesting that the protein has one or several nuclear functions. To elucidate this aspect, we first studied the nuclear import properties of P6. Directed mutagenesis experiments combined to protein-protein interaction assays revealed that P6 contains one canonical and one non-conventional nuclear localization signal (NLS), both of which are cooperatively required for its import through the importin α pathway. In addition, in planta experiments showed that P6 nucleocytoplasmic shuttling is essential for virus infectivity demonstrating the importance of its nuclear function(s). Through genetic approaches, we have uncovered one of these functions: nuclear P6 suppresses RNA silencing, a paneukaryotic mechanism for regulation of gene expression, involved in antiviral defence, in development and in maintenance of nuclear genome integrity

Full textRGS proteins (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) are potent inhibitors of heterotrimeric G-protein signaling. RGS4 attenuates G-protein activity in several tissues such that loss of its function may lead to bradycardia, diabetic cardiomyopathy, breast cancer cell invasion, insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. RGS4 has been localized to both plasma membrane and intracellular pools, however, the nature of its intracellular trafficking remains to be elucidated. G-protein inhibition requires the presence of RGS4 at the plasma membrane. In this work, we characterized the complementary roles of two putative palmitoylation sites on RGS4 to target intracellular compartments and plasma membrane. We identified palmitoylation on Cys2 and 12 respectively important for RGS4 endosomal targeting and plasma membrane localization, when mutations were introduced to the palmitoylation sites, RGS4 capability of inhibiting Gq-mediated signaling was impaired. As a continuum we identified two palmitoylating enzymes, DHHC3 and 7 as modulator of RGS4 localization and function. Knock downs of DHHC3 and 7 impaired RGS4 endosomal and plasma membrane targeting and capability of inhibiting M1-muscarinic receptor signaling. Finally we used live cell confocal microscopy to define RGS4 intracellular trafficking routes. Specifically Rab5 mediated RGS4 trafficking from the plasma membrane to intracellular compartments while Rab11 mediated RGS4 trafficking to the plasma membrane. Activation and inhibition of Rab5 and 11 routes impaired RGS4 capability of inhibiting M1-muscarinic receptor signaling pathway. These novel findings provide a strong rationale for future studies aimed at developing new strategies to increase the function of RGS4

Full textAndrogens (ADs) and glucocorticoids (GCs) are steroid hormones exerting pleiotropic effects in mammals. Their effects are mediated by two nuclear receptors, the androgen (AR) and the glucocorticoid (GR) receptor, respectively. Although GCs are extensively used to treat inflammatory diseases and antiandrogens for prostate cancer, long-term treatments induce major side effects such as muscle atrophy.To determine the mechanisms underlying their effects in muscle, we performed phenotypic, transcriptomic and cistromic analyses. The first part of this work demonstrates that myofiber GR negatively controls muscle mass and strength under physiological GCs levels. GR loss in skeletal muscle did not affect catabolic pathways, but enhanced the expression of anabolic factors and reduced that of anti-anabolic ones. We also showed that myofiber GR binds DNA to GR response elements (GREs) located at enhancers, in association with Myod1 and Foxf2, and interact with promoter-bound factors such as Nrf1 to promote gene transcription.In the second part of this work, we compared GR cistromes and transcriptomes in prostate and skeletal muscle, and identified binding sites for additional transcription factors in the vicinity of GREs, indicating that they contribute to the tissue specificity. In addition, by comparing the AR and GR cistromes and transcriptomes in prostate, we show that the response elements bound by both receptors are distinct from those bound by either AR or GR, and that the receptor-selectivity depends mostly on the surrounding factors.Finally, we compared transcriptomic and epigenetic data of skeletal muscle tissue and C2C12 myoblasts and myotubes and provide a detailed description of genes, signaling pathways and transcription factors that are differentially expressed during myogenic differentiation.In conclusion, our work allowed to clarify the molecular mechanisms regulating muscle homeostasis and provides the basis of a molecular understanding of tissue- and/or promoter-specific activity of ADs and GCs

Full textPoly(ADP-ribosyl)ation is a post-translational modification of proteins mediated by a family of enzymes called poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases. Among the best studied, PARP-1 and PARP-2 are both implicated into the transcription, organization and integrity of genome. We have initiated the characterization of a new PARP-1 partner previously identified in a yeast two-hybrid screen, and still poorly studied: HMG2L1 (High-Mobility Group protein 2 Like-1). The human protein of 601 amino acids contains one HMGbox domain normally implicated in the recognition of DNA. Some studies have reported the role of HMG2L1 in the regulation of transcription by acting as a negative or positive coregulator. First, we characterized the link between PARP-1 and HMG2L1. We confirmed the interaction between both proteins in vivo and in vitro. We also showed that HMG2L1 couldinteract with PARP-2. HMG2L1 is poly(ADP-ribosyl)ated by PARP-1 and PARP-2, and is able to interact with poly(ADP-ribose). The construction of GFP-fused truncated versions of HMG2L1 allowed us to show that the N-terminal part – upstream to the HMGbox – is responsible for all these interactions. This N-terminal domain is highly electropositive and intrinsically disordered conferring a lot of interactions potentialities. The expression of the GFP-fused proteins in HeLa cells allowed us to localizeHMG2L1 into the nucleus and the nucleolus, like PARP-1 and PARP-2. Moreover, HMG2L1 colocalizes with UBF (Upstream Binding Factor), the transcription factor responsible for the transcription of ribosomal ARNs by RNA polymerase I. The overexpression of GFPhHMG2L1 leads to a nucleolar stress illustrated by the inhibition of transcription and the formation of nucleolar caps. We also undertook a proteomic study to find new partners of HMG2L1. We found a huge amount of nucleolar proteins, involved in ribosome biogenesis or RNA maturation, suggesting that HMG2L1 could be involved in these processes. Finally, we demonstrated the ability of the purified protein to interact with DNA mostly through its HMGbox domain and RNA through its N-terminal domain. Moreover, we discovered that HMG2L1 is endowed with a RNA-chaperone activity, that can be regulated by poly(ADP-ribose). Taken together, the localization of HMG2L1, its interacting partners and its RNA chaperone activity allow us to make the assumption that HMG2L1 could be implicated in RNA maturation processes, regulated by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation
