QCD matter is expected to exist in different phases, when heated to high temperatures and getting highly compressed. Each phase could be characterized by distinct properties. A way to access extreme phases of matter in the laboratory are heavy-ion collisions at (ultra-)relativistic energies. During the collision, the temperature and density is evolving and reaches a maximum temperature and density far beyond the ground state of matter. The matter properties depend on the incident collision energy. Typically, a collision is separated into three collisions stages, namely first chance collisions (I), hot and dense stage (II) and freeze-out stage (III). Out of those, the second one is of major interest, since the extreme states of matter are generated within. For this reason, the most prominent change of the hadrons is expected to appear there in. Those changes are caused by i.e. modification of the hadronic spectral function. However, to retrieve such information is complicated. Hadrons are strongly interacting particles and therefore, carry little information about the hot and dense stage. For that purpose, decays of hadrons (low-mass vector mesons) to e+e- pairs via a virtual photon, so-called dielectrons, are an ideal probe. Electrons and positrons do not interact strongly and transport the information about the hot and dense stage nearly undisturbed to the detector. Unfortunately, the production of dielectrons is suppressed by a branching ratio of ≈ 10^(-5) and requires a precise lepton identification. Nonetheless, previous experiments have extracted a dilepton signal and observed in the low-mass range an excess over the hadronic cocktail. Latter one is expected to be caused by thermal radiation induced by the medium. Up to now, experiments conducted dilepton measurements with a focus on larger collision energies and large collision systems. Measurements of dielectrons at collision energies of around 1-2A GeV were only conducted for small and medium size collision systems. HADES continued the systematic studies by a measurement of Au+Au collisions at 1.23A GeV.
The detection of dielectrons requires detectors that handle high data rates and specific detectors for a high purity lepton identification. In HADES, the strongest separation of electrons or positrons from the hadronic background is provided by a ring imaging Cherenkov detector (RICH). Its electron identification is based on Cherenkov photons, that are emitted in ring like patterns. In this work a new approach, using the time-of-flight information to preselect electrons and the reconstructed particle trajectory to estimate ring positions, is utilized to improve the lepton identification. The concept of the so-called backtracking algorithm will be explained and applied to e+e- identification in Au+Au collisions. The whole analysis chain comprises single lepton identification, pair reconstruction and correction for efficiency and acceptance losses. The final pair spectra will be presented in form of their invariant mass, pt, mt and helicity distributions. Subsequently, transport model calculations as well as results from the recently developed coarse-grained transport approach will be compared to the dielectron spectra. Moreover, the centrality dependence of the excess yield and true (not "blue-shifted") temperature of the fireball will be presented. The results will be put in context to measurements of lighter collisions systems and at higher energies.
Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a pleiotropic, Th17-derived cytokine thought to critically contribute to the pathogenesis of diverse autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Treatment with monoclonal antibodies that block GM-CSF activity is associated with favorable therapeutic effects in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We evaluated the role of GM-CSF as a potential target for therapeutic interference in psoriasis using a combined pharmacologic and genetic approach and the mouse model of imiquimod-induced psoriasiform dermatitis (IMQPD). Neutralization of murine GM-CSF by an anti-GM-CSF antibody ameliorated IMQPD. In contrast, genetic deficiency in GM-CSF did not alter the course of IMQPD, suggesting the existence of mechanisms compensating for chronic, but not acute, absence of GM-CSF. Further investigation uncovered an alternative pathogenic pathway for IMQPD in the absence of GM-CSF characterized by an expanded plasmacytoid dendritic cell population and release of IFNα and IL-22. This pathway was not activated in wild-type mice during short-term anti-GM-CSF treatment. Our investigations support the potential value of GM-CSF as a therapeutic target in psoriatic disease. The discovery of an alternative pathogenic pathway for psoriasiform dermatitis in the permanent absence of GM-CSF, however, suggests the need for monitoring during therapeutic use of long-term GM-CSF blockade.

Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors is the standard of care for Philadelphia chromosome positive leukemias. However the eradication of leukemia initiating cells remains a challenge. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the cytokine microenvironment may play a role in BCR-ABL mediated leukemogenesis and in imatinib resistance. Gene expression analyses of BCR-ABL positive ALL long-term cultured cells revealed strong reduction of SOCS mRNA expression after imatinib treatment, thereby demonstrating a strong inhibition of cytokine signaling. In this study we employed SOCS1—a strong inhibitor of cytokine signaling—as a tool to terminate external cytokine signals in BCR-ABL transformed cells in vitro and in vivo. In colony formation assays with primary bone marrow cells, expression of SOCS1 decreased colony numbers under pro-proliferative cytokines, while it conferred growth resistance to anti-proliferative cytokines. Importantly, co-expression of SOCS1 with BCR-ABL led to the development of a MPD phenotype with a prolonged disease latency compared to BCR-ABL alone in a murine bone marrow transplantation model. Interestingly, SOCS1 co-expression protected 20% of mice from MPD development. In summary, we conclude that under pro-proliferative cytokine stimulation at the onset of myeloproliferative diseases SOCS1 acts as a tumor suppressor, while under anti-proliferative conditions it exerts oncogenic function. Therefore SOCS1 can promote opposing functions depending on the cytokine environment.
Protein kinases are highly tractable targets for drug discovery. However, the biological function and therapeutic potential of the majority of the 500+ human protein kinases remains unknown. We have developed physical and virtual collections of small molecule inhibitors, which we call chemogenomic sets, that are designed to inhibit the catalytic function of almost half the human protein kinases. In this manuscript we share our progress towards generation of a comprehensive kinase chemogenomic set (KCGS), release kinome profiling data of a large inhibitor set (Published Kinase Inhibitor Set 2 (PKIS2)), and outline a process through which the community can openly collaborate to create a KCGS that probes the full complement of human protein kinases.
The future heavy-ion experiment CBM (FAIR/GSI, Darmstadt, Germany) will focus on the measurements of very rare probes, which require the experiment to operate under extreme interaction rates of up to 10 MHz. Due to high multiplicity of charged particles in heavy-ion collisions, this will lead to the data rates of up to 1 TB/s. In order to meet the modern achievable archival rate, this data ow has to be reduced online by more than two orders of magnitude.
The rare observables are featured with complicated trigger signatures and require full event topology reconstruction to be performed online. The huge data rates together with the absence of simple hardware triggers make traditional latency limited trigger architectures typical for conventional experiments inapplicable for the case of CBM. Instead, CBM will employ a novel data acquisition concept with autonomous, self-triggered front-end electronics.
While in conventional experiments with event-by-event processing the association of detector hits with corresponding physical event is known a priori, it is not true for the CBM experiment, where the reconstruction algorithms should be modified in order to process non-event-associated data. At the highest interaction rates the time difference between hits belonging to the same collision will be larger than the average time difference between two consecutive collisions. Thus, events will overlap in time. Due to a possible overlap of events one needs to analyze time-slices rather than isolated events.
The time-stamped data will be shipped and collected into a readout buffer in a form of a time-slice of a certain length. The time-slice data will be delivered to a large computer farm, where the archival decision will be obtained after performing online reconstruction. In this case association of hit information with physical events must be performed in software and requires full online event reconstruction not only in space, but also in time, so-called 4-dimensional (4D) track reconstruction.
Within the scope of this work the 4D track finder algorithm for online reconstruction has been developed. The 4D CA track finder is able to reproduce performance and speed of the traditional event-based algorithm. The 4D CA track finder is both vectorized (using SIMD instructions) and parallelized (between CPU cores). The algorithm shows strong scalability on many-core systems. The speed-up factor of 10.1 has been achieved on a CPU with 10 hyper-threaded physical cores.
The 4D CA track finder algorithm is ready for the time-slice-based reconstruction in the CBM experiment.
The Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) at GSI Darmstadt will provide unprecedented intensities of protons and heavy ions up to uranium at energies of up to 29 GeV for protons and 2.7 GeV/u for Uranium 28+. To achieve high intensities in the synchrotron accelerators, high beam currents have to be provided by the injector linear accelerators. High current heavy ion beams are provided by the Universal Linear Accelerator (UNILAC), which in its current state will not be able to provide the required FAIR beam currents. This thesis deals with the development of upgrades for the UNILAC to ensure its high current capability. The first improvement is a matching section (MEBT) for the interface between the RFQ and the IH-DTL of the existing high current injector HSI at the UNILAC. With this new MEBT section, particle losses are eliminated and the overall beam quality is improved. As a second improvement, a complete replacement of the existing Alvarez-DTL is presented. A combination of efficient IH-type cavities and KONUS beam dynamics results in a reduction of the linac length from about 60 m (Alvarez) to just 23 m (new IH-DTL) while providing the same energy and fulfilling FAIR requirements of a high beam current and beam quality. This thesis contains a detailed beam dynamics design of the new linac including some fundamental investigations of the KONUS beam dynamics concept. A cross-check of the beam dynamics design was performed with two independent multi-particle simulation codes. Detailed error studies were conducted to investigate the influence of manufacturing, alignment and operating errors on the beam dynamics performance. Additionally, all five linac cavities were designed, optimized, and their RF parameters including power requirements calculated to provide a comprehensive linac design.
Diese Untersuchung beschäftigt sich mit der Morphosyntax pronominaler Partitivanaphern im kontinentalwestgermanischen Dialektkontinuum im Allgemeinen und im deutschen (insbesondere hessischen) Sprachraum im Speziellen. Schwerpunkte sind dabei die sprachgeografische Verteilung, die morphosyntaktische Variation und die strukturelle Analyse pronominaler Ausdrucksmittel der unbestimmten Teilmenge. Es werden traditionell dialektologische Erkenntnisinteressen (Raumstruktur syntaktischer Variablen und Verlauf syntaktischer Isoglossen) mit Fragestellungen der (theoretisch orientierten) Syntaxforschung verbunden. Außerdem erfolgt erstmals eine wirklich sprachübergreifende Behandlung der verschiedenen Systeme pronominaler Partitivität, zum einen innerhalb der (West-)Germania, zum anderen durch den Einbezug (zentral-)romanischer Sprachen, um Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten auf der Mikro- und Mesoebene herauszuarbeiten. Die gewählte Methode ist nicht nur kontrastiv, sondern auch geolinguistisch fundiert, insofern als morphologische Formen und syntaktische Variation im Raum abgebildet werden, wodurch nicht zuletzt auch interessante Korrelationen und Anti-Korrelationen in den Daten bestätigt bzw. entdeckt werden konnten.
Nach einer Gegenstandsbestimmung der morphosyntaktischen Variable und ihrer Varianten (Inventarisierung und Typisierung) sowie des Variationsrahmens (areal-horizontal, vertikal, morphosyntaktisch, historisch, idiolektal etc.) wird zunächst das DFG-Projekt „Syntax hessischer Dialekte“ (SyHD) vorgestellt, das die empirische Basis zur Untersuchung lieferte. Dabei werden generelle und spezifische Fragen der Datengewinnung (multivariate Methode mit indirekten und direkten Elementen) sowie der Datenanalyse und -interpretation (Instrument der Kartierung) diskutiert. Den Hauptteil der Arbeit bildet die diatopische, diachrone und distributionell-syntaktische Variation der Systeme pronominaler Partitivität. Als die vier Hauptstrategien zum Ausdruck partitiv-anaphorischer Referenz innerhalb des deutschsprachigen Gebiets finden sich das konservative System versteinerter Pronominalgenitive wie „(d)(e)r(e)“, „s(e)n“ und „es“ (vor allem in einem mitteldeutschen Streifen und randdialektal) - Relikte eines ehemals umfassenderen genitivbasierten Systems der Partitivität -, das sprachgeschichtlich junge und typologisch auffällige indefinit-partitive Pronomen „welch-“/„we(l)k-“ (im Nieder-/Norddeutschen und in der Standardsprache) sowie schließlich die innovativen Systeme der Null-Anapher (im Alemannischen bzw. Südwesten) und des generalisierten Indefinitpronomens „ein-“ (im Bairischen bzw. Südosten). Wenngleich sich diese areale Distribution im zentral gelegenen und daher unter dem Einfluss nahezu aller Strategien stehenden Hessen als Kleinraum bestätigt - mit Ausnahme der weitgehenden Abwesenheit des „ein“-Systems -, so zeigen sich doch einige überraschende Ergebnisse wie beispielsweise ein kategorialer Unterschied nach Numerus und zum Teil Genus bei der Vitalität der Genitivpartikeln. Sprachhistorisch können zwei Arten von Wandel beim Genitiv-System identifiziert werden: systeminterne Veränderungen (durch Merkmals- oder Formverlust) und systemexterne Verdrängungsprozesse (durch Ausbreitung der innovativen Ausdrucksformen, was in einem Dialekt bzw. intraindividuell zu konkurrierenden oder Mischsystemen führen kann). Darüber hinaus sind mit Blick auf die Art und Weise der Veränderungen für Sprachwandelprozesse allgemein typische zyklische Abfolgen von Abschwächung und Verstärkung erkennbar. In Bezug auf die syntaktische Distribution werden insbesondere die Genitivanaphern auf ihre Kompatibilität mit nominalen Modifikatoren wie Numeralien/(schwachen) Quantoren, „flektierten“ Zahlwörtern (Schwa), Adjektiven, verschiedenen Arten von Präpositionalphrasen sowie Relativ- vs. Komplementsätzen hin untersucht und - funktional wie formal - mit ihrem niederländischen partitiven/quantitativen Äquivalent „er“ sowie den romanischen, in ein partitives System integrierten Pronomina fr. „en“/it. „ne“ verglichen. Für die deutschen Partitivanaphern ergibt sich daraus Evidenz für zwei unterschiedliche Pronominalisierungsebenen. Abschließend wird das Phänomen in die allgemeine Diskussion um nominale Ellipsen eingebettet (Elision und Pronominalisierung). Aufgrund der Evaluation der in der Literatur diskutierten Lizenzierungsansätze anhand neuer dialektaler und typologischer Daten wird hier ein flexions-/kongruenzbasierter Ansatz favorisiert (Rolle von Adjektivmorphologie bzw. generell von unterschiedlichen Flexionssystemen, etwa im Deutschen vs. Englischen).
We explore space improvements in LRP, a polymorphically typed call-by-need functional core language. A relaxed space measure is chosen for the maximal size usage during an evaluation. It Abstracts from the details of the implementation via abstract machines, but it takes garbage collection into account and thus can be seen as a realistic approximation of space usage. The results are: a context lemma for space improving translations and for space equivalences; all but one reduction rule of the calculus are shown to be space improvements, and the exceptional one, the copy-rule, is shown to increase space only moderately.
Several further program transformations are shown to be space improvements or space equivalences, in particular the translation into machine expressions is a space equivalence. These results are a step Forward in making predictions about the change in runtime space behavior of optimizing transformations in callbyneed functional languages.
The efficacy of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in cancer is limited by the occurrence of innate and acquired drug resistance. In order to better understand the mechanisms underlying acquired cisplatin resistance, we have compared the adenocarcinoma-derived non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line A549 and its cisplatin-resistant sub-line A549rCDDP2000 with regard to cisplatin resistance mechanisms including cellular platinum accumulation, DNA-adduct formation, cell cycle alterations, apoptosis induction and activation of key players of DNA damage response. In A549rCDDP2000 cells, a cisplatin-induced G2/M cell cycle arrest was lacking and apoptosis was reduced compared to A549 cells, although equitoxic cisplatin concentrations resulted in comparable platinum-DNA adduct levels. These differences were accompanied by changes in the expression of proteins involved in DNA damage response. In A549 cells, cisplatin exposure led to a significantly higher expression of genes coding for proteins mediating G2/M arrest and apoptosis (mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2), xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC), stress inducible protein (SIP) and p21) compared to resistant cells. This was underlined by significantly higher protein levels of phosphorylated Ataxia telangiectasia mutated (pAtm) and p53 in A549 cells compared to their respective untreated control. The results were compiled in a preliminary model of resistance-associated signaling alterations. In conclusion, these findings suggest that acquired resistance of NSCLC cells against cisplatin is the consequence of altered signaling leading to reduced G2/M cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.
Na+/H+ exchange is essential for survival of all organisms, having a role in the regulation of the intracellular Na+ concentration, pH and cell volume. Furthermore, Na+/H+ exchangers were shown to be involved in the virulence of the bacterium Yersinia pestis, indicating they might be potential targets for novel antibiotic treatments. The model system for Na+/H+ exchangers is the NhaA transporter from Escherichia coli, EcNhaA. Therefore, the general transport mechanism of NhaA exchangers is currently well characterized. However, much less is known about NhaB exchangers, with only a limited number of studies available. The pathogen Klebsiella pneumoniae, which is a major source of nosocomial infection, possesses three electrogenic Na+/H+ exchangers, KpNhaA1, KpNhaA2 and KpNhaB, none of which have been previously investigated. Our aim in this study was to functionally characterize KpNhaB using solid supported membrane-based electrophysiology as the main investigation technique, and thus provide the first electrophysiological investigation of an NhaB Na+/H+ exchanger. We found that NhaB can be described by the same competition-based mechanism that was shown to be valid for electrogenic NhaA and NapA, and for electroneutral NhaP Na+/H+ exchangers. For comparison we also characterized the activity of KpNhaA1 and KpNhaA2 and found that the three exchangers have complementary activity profiles, which is likely a survival advantage for K. pneumoniae when faced with environments of different salinity and pH. This underlines their importance as potential antibiotic drug targets.
In this doctoral thesis the transformation from relativistic hydrodynamics to transport and vice versa is studied. Approximations made by hybrid (hydrodynamics + transport) simulations of relativistic heavy ion collisions are discussed and their reliability is assessed at intermediate collision energies. A new method to simulate heavy ion collisions is suggested, based on the forced thermalization in high-density regions.
Despite various policy and management responses, biodiversity continues to decline worldwide. We must redouble our efforts to halt biodiversity loss. The current lack of policy action can be partly linked to an insufficient knowledge base regarding the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity. Biodiversity research needs to incorporate both social and ecological factors to gain a deeper understanding of the interrelations between society and nature that affect biodiversity. A transdisciplinary research approach is crucial to fulfilling these requirements. It aims to produce new insights by integrating scientific and nonscientific knowledge. Several measures need to be taken to strengthen transdisciplinary social-ecological biodiversity research: Within the science community: firstly, scientists themselves must promote transdisciplinarity; secondly, the reward system for scientists must be brought into line with transdisciplinary research processes; and thirdly, academic training needs to advocate transdisciplinarity. As for research policies, research funding priorities need to be linked to large scale biodiversity policy frameworks, and funding for transdisciplinary social-ecological research on biodiversity must be increased significantly.

Multicellular organisms require that cells adhere to each other. This cell-cell adhesion is indispensable for the formation and the integrity of epithelial structures, tissues and organs. Mammals have developed four different cell-cell adhesion structures, the adhering junctions, which ensure the tight contact between cells but are also important platforms for communication and exchange in tissues. Two of these adhering junctions are cadherin based, the belt-like adherens junctions and the spot-like desmosomes. Both structures have in common that they are composed of single membrane spanning proteins, the cadherins, which accomplish adhesion in a calcium-dependent manner. The intracellular parts of classical as well as desmosomal cadherins bind to different adaptor proteins of the armadillo-protein family and others which build a protein plaque underneath the membrane and link the cadherins to the actin or intermediate filament cytoskeleton.
Desmosomes are of special importance for tissues that have to withstand mechanical stress. Although they are essential to stabilize tissues they have to be highly flexible and dynamic structures, as processes like wound healing or tissue remodeling require that adhesive interactions can be modulated. The molecular dynamics within desmosomes are not jet understood in detail, but it is assumed that two different membrane associated pools of desmosomal cadherins exist in cells. Cadherins that are incorporated in mature desmosomes are part of the junctional pool, whereas cadherins that are not associated with firm desmosomes and the intermediate filament cytoskeleton belong to the non-junctional pool. Lateral movements between the two pools results in a dynamic equilibrium and allows for example the exchange of old cadherins. Little is known about the breakdown of desmosomal cadherins. Several studies found that desmosome assembly or endocytosis are cholesterol dependent processes and claimed that membrane microdomains play a role in the regulation of desmosome dynamics. Moreover, membrane rafts may be involved in the pathomechanism of the desmosome associated disease pemphigus, were autoantibodies bind to the cadherin desmoglein-3 and trigger its internalization which results in a loss of adhesion in skin cells.
Membrane rafts are cholesterol dependent nanoscale structures of cellular membranes that are able to regulate the distribution of proteins within the plasma membrane and thus form platforms for cell signaling and membrane trafficking. Flotillins are proteins that are associated with membrane rafts and are reported to be involved in processes like endocytosis, endosomal sorting and a multitude of different signaling events. We could recently show that the membrane raft associated proteins flotillin-1 and flotillin-2 bind directly to the armadillo protein y-catenin which can be part of both, the adherens junction and the desmosome. The aim of this study was to eluciadate a possible role of flotillins in the regulation of desmosomes.
HaCaT keratinocytes were chosen as the main cell system for this study and at first the association of desmosomal components with flotillins was analyzed in detail. It was found that flotillins are clearly associated with desmosomal proteins. They colocalize with desmoglein-3 at cell borders and precipitate the other desmogleins. Further binding assays revealed that both flotillins bind to all desmogleins and the long isoforms of the second class of desmosomal cadherins, the desmocollins. The interaction is a direct one and was mapped to the ICS sequence within the cadherins. This close association rendered the question whether flotillins are functionally implicated in desmosome regulation. To address this issue, stable flotillin knockdown HaCaT cells were analyzed in detail. The molecular morphology of desmoglein-3, desmoglein-1 and two plaque proteins was clearly altered in the absence of flotillins. The membrane staining of all tested desmosomal proteins was derailed and disordered. Furthermoore, the loss of flotillins had an impact on the adhesive capacity of HaCaT keratinocytes. The cell-cell adhesion was weakened in the absence of flotillins, which was monitored by an increased fragmentation of knockdown cells in a cell dissociation assay.
In order to find out the mechanism by which flotillins influence the membrane morphology and the adhesiveness in keratinocytes, the association of desmosomal proteins with membrane microdomains was examined, at first. A predominant part of desmoglein-3 is associated with membrane rafts in HaCaT keratinocytes, whereas only a minor part of desmoglein-1 is found there. However, the raft-association of none of the examined proteins was altered in the absence of flotillins. Furthermore, flotillin depletion did not change the distribution of desmogleins with the two different cadherin pools. Less desmoglein-3 is found in the junctional pool of the flotillin depleted cells compared to the control cells, but this is due to an overall diminished desmoglein-3 protein level in these cells.
Flotillins are involved in endocytic processes but their exact role there is under debate. The endocytic uptake of desmosomal cadherins requires intact membrane rafts, but the precise mechanism is still unknown. A possible involvement of flotillins on the endocytosis of desmoglein-3 was addressed next. It is known that the internalization of desmoglein-2 is dependent on the GTPase dynamin, arguing for an involvement of dynamin in the endocytosis of desmoglein-3 as well. When dynamin and thus desmoglein-3 endocytosis was inhibited using chemical compounds, the mislocalization of desmoglein-3 that was observed in flotillin knockdown cells was restored. This suggest that inhibition of desmoglein-3 endocytosis enhances the amount and/or availability of desmoglein-3 at the plasma membrane, which then normalizes the morphological alterations caused by a knockdown of flotillins. Furthermore the morphological alterations in the flotillin knockdown HaCaT cells were found to be similar to the localization of desmoglein-3 that was observed upon treatment of keratinocytes with PV IgG These structures have been described before as linear arrays and are assumed to be sites of endocytic uptake. This strengthens the idea that enhanced desmoglein-3 internalization takes place in the absence of flotillins, which then results in a weakened adhesion.
Altogether this study revealed flotillins as novel players in desmosome mediated cell-cell adhesion processes. By binding to desmosomal cadherins and desmosomal plaque proteins, flotillins stabilize desmosomes at the plasma membrane and are required for a proper cell-cell adhesion.
Psoriasis is a frequent and often severe inflammatory skin disease, characterized by altered epidermal homeostasis. Since we found previously that Akt/mTOR signaling is hyperactivated in psoriatic skin, we aimed at elucidating the role of aberrant mTORC1 signaling in this disease. We found that under healthy conditions mTOR signaling was shut off when keratinocytes switch from proliferation to terminal differentiation. Inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-17A, TNF-α) induced aberrant mTOR activity which led to enhanced proliferation and reduced expression of differentiation markers. Conversely, regular differentiation could be restored if mTORC1 signaling was blocked. In mice, activation of mTOR through the agonist MHY1485 also led to aberrant epidermal organization and involucrin distribution. In summary, these results not only identify mTORC1 as an important signal integrator pivotal for the cells fate to either proliferate or differentiate, but emphasize the role of inflammation-dependent mTOR activation as a psoriatic pathomechanism.
Two theories address the origin of repeating patterns, such as hair follicles, limb digits, and intestinal villi, during development. The Turing reaction–diffusion system posits that interacting diffusible signals produced by static cells first define a prepattern that then induces cell rearrangements to produce an anatomical structure. The second theory, that of mesenchymal self-organisation, proposes that mobile cells can form periodic patterns of cell aggregates directly, without reference to any prepattern. Early hair follicle development is characterised by the rapid appearance of periodic arrangements of altered gene expression in the epidermis and prominent clustering of the adjacent dermal mesenchymal cells. We assess the contributions and interplay between reaction–diffusion and mesenchymal self-organisation processes in hair follicle patterning, identifying a network of fibroblast growth factor (FGF), wingless-related integration site (WNT), and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling interactions capable of spontaneously producing a periodic pattern. Using time-lapse imaging, we find that mesenchymal cell condensation at hair follicles is locally directed by an epidermal prepattern. However, imposing this prepattern’s condition of high FGF and low BMP activity across the entire skin reveals a latent dermal capacity to undergo spatially patterned self-organisation in the absence of epithelial direction. This mesenchymal self-organisation relies on restricted transforming growth factor (TGF) β signalling, which serves to drive chemotactic mesenchymal patterning when reaction–diffusion patterning is suppressed, but, in normal conditions, facilitates cell movement to locally prepatterned sources of FGF. This work illustrates a hierarchy of periodic patterning modes operating in organogenesis.
Pertusarialean lichens include more than 300 species belonging to several independent phylogenetic lineages. Only some of these phylogenetic clades have been comprehensively sampled for molecular data, and formally described as genera. Here we present a taxonomic treatment of a group of pertusarialean lichens formerly known as "Pertusaria amara-group", "Monomurata-group", or "Variolaria-group", which includes widespread and well-known taxa such as P. amara, P. albescens, or P. ophthalmiza. We generated a 6-locus data set with 79 OTUs representing 75 species. The distinction of the Variolaria clade is supported and consequently, the resurrection of the genus Lepra is followed. Thirty-five new combinations into Lepra are proposed and the new species Lepra austropacifica is described from mangroves in the South Pacific. Lepra is circumscribed to include species with disciform ascomata, a weakly to non-amyloid hymenial gel, strongly amyloid asci without clear apical amyloid structures, containing 1 or 2, single-layered, thin-walled ascospores. Chlorinated xanthones are not present, but thamnolic and picrolichenic acids occur frequently, as well as orcinol depsides. Seventy-one species are accepted in the genus. Although the distinction of the genus from Pertusaria is strongly supported, the relationships of Lepra remain unresolved and the genus is tentatively placed in Pertusariales incertae sedis.
We have reported previously that Short Interspersed Degenerate Retroposons of the SIDER2 subfamily, largely located within 3'UTRs of Leishmania transcripts, promote rapid turnover of mRNAs through endonucleolytic cleavage within the highly conserved second tandem 79-nt hallmark sequence (79-nt SII). Here, we used site-directed mutagenesis and in silico RNA structural studies to delineate the cis-acting requirements within 79-nt SII for cleavage and mRNA degradation. The putative cleavage site(s) and other nucleotides predicted to alter the RNA secondary structure of 79-nt SII were either deleted or mutated and their effect on mRNA turnover was monitored using a gene reporter system. We found that short deletions of 8-nt spanning the two predicted cleavage sites block degradation of SIDER2-containing transcripts, leading to mRNA accumulation. Furthermore, single or double substitutions of the dinucleotides targeted for cleavage as well as mutations altering the predicted RNA secondary structure encompassing both cleavage sites also prevent mRNA degradation, confirming that these dinucleotides are the bona fide cleavage sites. In line with these results, we show that stage-regulated SIDER2 inactivation correlates with the absence of endonucleolytic cleavage. Overall, these data demonstrate that both cleavage sites within the conserved 79-nt SII as well as RNA folding in this region are essential for SIDER2-mediated mRNA decay, and further support that SIDER2-harboring transcripts are targeted for degradation by endonucleolytic cleavage.
Dendrites form predominantly binary trees that are exquisitely embedded in the networks of the brain. While neuronal computation is known to depend on the morphology of dendrites, their underlying topological blueprint remains unknown. Here, we used a centripetal branch ordering scheme originally developed to describe river networks—the Horton-Strahler order (SO)–to examine hierarchical relationships of branching statistics in reconstructed and model dendritic trees. We report on a number of universal topological relationships with SO that are true for all binary trees and distinguish those from SO-sorted metric measures that appear to be cell type-specific. The latter are therefore potential new candidates for categorising dendritic tree structures. Interestingly, we find a faithful correlation of branch diameters with centripetal branch orders, indicating a possible functional importance of SO for dendritic morphology and growth. Also, simulated local voltage responses to synaptic inputs are strongly correlated with SO. In summary, our study identifies important SO-dependent measures in dendritic morphology that are relevant for neural function while at the same time it describes other relationships that are universal for all dendrites.
Gepulste dipolare EPR-Spektroskopie ist eine wertvolle Methode, um Abstände von 1.5 bis 10 nm zwischen zwei Spinmarkern zu messen. Diese Information kann für Strukturbestimmungen hilfreich sein, wo traditionelle Methoden wie Kristallstrukturanalyse und NMR nicht angewendet werden können. Zusätzlich ist es möglich, Änderungen in Konformation und Flexibilität zu verfolgen. Für diese Studien haben sich stabile Nitroxidradikale als Spinmarker etabliert. Diese werden spezifisch durch die site-directed spin labelling Methode (SDSL) kovalent an das zu untersuchende Biomolekül gebunden. In den letzten Jahren wurden weitere Spinmarker für Abstandsbestimmungen mittels EPR-Spektroskopie entwickelt. Besonders interessant sind Triarylmethylradikale (im Folgenden abgekürzt als Trityl) und paramagnetische Metallzentren.
Im Vergleich zu Nitroxidradikalen hat das Tritylradikal einige Vorteile: Eine höhere Stabilität in einer reduzierenden Umgebung wie im Inneren von Zellen, längere Elektronenspin-Relaxationszeiten bei Raumtemperatur und ein schmaleres EPR-Spektrum. Deswegen ist dieses organische Radikal ein alternativer Spinmarker, der besonders gut für die Forschung von Biomolekülen in einer nativen Umgebung unter physiologischen Bedingungen geeignet ist. Auch paramagnetische Metallzentren sind weniger reduktionsempfindlich als Nitroxidradikale. Zusätzlich sind diese Spinmarker interessant in biologischen Fragestellungen. Zum Beispiel besitzen zahlreiche Enzyme paramagnetische Manganzentren als Cofaktoren. Zudem kann Magnesium, ein wesentlicher Cofaktor in Enzymen, Nukleinsäuren und Nukleotid-Bindungsdomänen der G- und Membranproteine, oft durch das paramagnetische Mangan ersetzt werden. Um Abstandsmessungen an Biomolekülen, die nur ein Metallzentrum besitzen, durchzuführen, können zusätzliche Spinmarker in Form eines Nitroxid-, Tritylradikals oder eines anderen paramagnetischen Metallkomplexes mithilfe der SDSL-Methode kovalent gebunden werden.
Nitroxidradikale, Tritylradikale und Metallzentren haben deutlich unterschiedliche EPR-spektroskopische Eigenschaften, welche oft als orthogonale Spinmarker bezeichnet werden. Solche Spinmarker sind nützlich für die Untersuchung von verschiedenen Untereinheiten bei makromolekularen Komplexen. Somit können die intramolekularen Abstände innerhalb einer Untereinheit sowie intermolekularen Abstände zwischen den unterschiedlichen Untereinheiten mit nur einer einzigen Probe bestimmt werden. Zusätzlich können die orthogonalen Marker sehr effektiv genutzt werden, um Metallzentren in Biomolekülen mithilfe der Trilateration-Strategie genau zu lokalisieren.
Die hier vorliegende Doktorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Nutzung dieser neuen Spinmarker für Abstandsmessungen. Solche Spinmarker sind noch kaum erforscht, obwohl sie für biologische Anwendungen eine große Rolle spielen könnten.
Das erste Ziel dieser Doktorarbeit war eine Studie über Tritylradikale mithilfe der dipolaren EPR-Spektroskopie. Zu diesem Zweck wurden sowohl double quantum coherence (DQC) und single frequency technique for refocussing dipolar couplings (SIFTER) Experimente als auch Hochfrequenz pulsed electron electron double resonance (PELDOR) Experimente mit einem Trityl-Modellsystem durchgeführt. Dabei wurden die Besonderheiten der unterschiedlichen dipolaren Spektroskopiemethoden mit diesem Spinmarker untersucht, um die Empfindlichkeit und Robustheit für die Abstandsmessungen zu optimieren.
Das zweite Ziel war eine Studie über den Einfluss der Hochspin-Multiplizität des Mangans auf die Abstandsbestimmungen. Für diesen Zweck wurde zuerst ein Modellsystem mit einem orthogonalen Mn2+ Ion und Nitroxidradikal mithilfe der PELDOR-Spektroskopie untersucht. Anschließend wurde ein weiteres Modellsystem mit zwei Mn2+-Ionen untersucht, um PELDOR und relaxation-induced dipolar modulation enhancement (RIDME) Experimente bezüglich ihrer Empfindlichkeit und Robustheit sowie Genauigkeit der Datenanalyse zu optimieren.
Das Trityl-Modellsystem wurde in der Arbeitsgruppe von Prof. Sigurdsson synthetisiert. Die EPR Messungen wurden bei zwei verschiedenen Mikrowellenfrequenzen (34 und 180 GHz) durchgeführt. Es wurde gezeigt, dass die Auswahl der optimalen Methode von den EPR-spektroskopischen Eigenschaften des Systems bei den jeweiligen Mikrowellenfrequenzen abhängig ist. Das EPR-Spektrum des Trityls ist bei 34 GHz so schmal, dass das ganze Spektrum von einem üblichen Mikrowellenpuls angeregt werden kann. In diesem Fall sind die DQC und SIFTER Experimente am besten geeignet. Der mit diesen Methoden bestimmte Abstand von 4.9 nm ist in guter Übereinstimmung mit Werten aus der Literatur. Es wurde festgestellt, dass die SIFTER Messung eine höhere Empfindlichkeit als DQC besitzt, da das Signal-zu-Rausch Verhältnis um den Faktor vier größer ist. Außerdem ist die SIFTER-Methode experimentell weniger anspruchsvoll, da ein deutlich kürzerer Phasenzyklus für die Mikrowellenpulse benötigt wird. ...
In the dentate gyrus (DG) of the mammalian hippocampus, neurogenesis continues to take place throughout an organism’s life. Adult neurogenesis includes proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells into dentate granule cells (GCs) that mature and integrate into the existing cellular network. This thesis work presents a novel approach that enables longitudinal examination of living postnatally generated GCs in their endogenous niche by using retroviral (RV) labeling in organotypic entorhino-hippocampal slice cultures (OTCs). Older GCs were fluorescence-labeled with an adeno-associated virus controlled by the synapsin 1 promoter (AAV-Syn). The combination of time-lapse imaging and 3-D reconstruction of newborn developing GCs and older, more mature GCs enabled comparative analyses of dendritic growth and cellular dynamics as well as investigations of spine formation and the establishment of synaptic contacts.
Postnatal neurogenesis was studied in the mouse and rat DG in vivo by analysis of the distribution of chemical neuronal maturation markers doublecortin (DCX) and calbindin in combination with the GC marker Prox1 between P7 and P42. The marker expression patterns at different time points indicated that the number of mature GCs increased gradually over time and that young, immature GCs were added to the inner layers of the granule cell layer (GCL), as is the case in the adult brain. The most substantial shift in GC maturation took place between P7 and P14, though GCs in the rat DG matured faster (i.e. by ~5 days) than GCs in the mouse. Immunocytochemical in vitro analysis in OTCs at DIV 7, 14, and 28 exhibited a distribution of marker expression over time that was comparable to in vivo, though the number of DCX-expressing GCs was low at DIV 28, indicating a considerable decrease in neurogenesis rate over time in the OTC. Nevertheless, RV-labeling of newborn GCs at DIV 0 yielded successful visualization and enabled time-lapse imaging of complete developing GCs up to 4 weeks after mitosis. During the second week of development, newborn GCs exhibited a high level of structural dynamics, including extension and retraction of dendritic segments. In the third week, newborn GCs displayed high dendritic complexity which was followed by pronounced dendritic pruning. Finally, a phase of structural stabilization and local refinement could be observed during the fourth week. Older AAV-Syn-labeled GCs did not exhibit such dynamic structural remodeling. Anterograde tracing of entorhinal projection fibers using the biotinylated dextran amine Mini Ruby showed innervation of the outer molecular layer (OML) by entorhinal axons at early time points, i.e. DIV 8 when newborn GCs started to extend dendrites into the ML, as well as at DIV 20 when RV-labeled GCs exhibited elaborate dendritic trees with processes in the OML intermingling with entorhinal fibers. This shows that newborn GCs in the OTC grow into an area of existing entorhinal axon terminals, which is highly similar to the situation in the adult brain. Hence, the results show that postnatal neurogenesis can be studied effectively in the OTC system as a model of adult neurogenesis. The first appearance of spine-like protrusions in newborn GCs was observed two weeks post RV injection. Ultrastructural electron-microscopic images revealed that spines established synaptic contacts with axonal boutons. These findings suggest that newborn GCs are successfully integrated into the existing cellular circuitry in the OTC system. The high level of structural flexibility found in this study might be a necessary requisite of new neurons for successful dendritic maturation and functional integration into a neuronal network. Thus, live imaging of postnatally born GCs in the OTC appears as a useful novel approach to elucidate the mechanisms that affect cellular dynamics of neurogenesis.

Die Kunstpädagogik setzt sich, wie auch die bildende Kunst, immer mit neuen Mitteln und Medien der bildnerischen bzw. künstlerischen Gestaltung auseinander. Sie versucht diese darüber hinaus kunstdidaktisch zu konzeptualisieren und für den Kunstunterricht handhabbar zu machen. Zu diesen neuen Medien gehören heute digitale mobile Medien, sie werden von Kunstschaffenden und Kunstvermittelnden vielfältig eingesetzt. Mit der vorliegenden Untersuchung wird der Einsatz von digitalen mobilen Medien – gegenwärtig vorwiegend repräsentiert durch Smartphones und Tablet-Computer – konzeptualisiert und auf verschiedene Potentiale und Risiken hin analysiert. Ein erstmals eigens entwickeltes fachdidaktisches Modell soll durch aufeinander abgestimmte Komponenten einen kongruenten und begründeten Einsatz von digitalen mobilen Medien im Kunstunterricht ermöglichen und zu einer angemessenen Implementierung des neuen Mediums in den Kunstunterricht beitragen. Durch die vorgenommene Erprobung des o.g. Modells in Feldern der Kunstpädagogik und deren Reflexion ergeben sich Modifikationen sowie weiterführende Forschungsfragen – sowohl spezifisch die Kunstpädagogik als auch allgemein die Pädagogik und Didaktik betreffend.
Heat stress transcription factors (Hsfs) play essential role in heat stress response and thermotolerance by controlling the transcriptional activation of heat stress response (HSR) genes including molecular chaperones. Plant Hsf families show a striking multiplicity, with more than 20 members in the many plant species. Among Hsfs, HsfA1s act as the master regulators of heat stress (HS) response and HsfA2 becomes one of the most abundant Hsfs during HS. Using transgenic plans with suppressed expression of HsfA2 we have shown that this Hsf is involved in acquired thermotolerance of S. lycopersicum cv Moneymaker as HsfA2 is required for high expression and maintenance of increased levels of Hsps during repeated cycles of HS treatment.
Interestingly, HsfA2 undergoes temperature-dependent alternative splicing (AS) which results in the generation of seven transcript variants. Three of these transcripts (HsfA2-Iα-γ), generated due to alternative splicing of a second, newly identified intron encode for the full length protein involved in acquired thermotolerance. Another 3 transcripts (HsfA2-IIIα-γ) are generated due to alternative splicing in intron 1, leading in all cases to a premature termination codon and targeting of these transcripts for degradation via the non-sense mRNA decay mechanism (NMD).
Interestingly, excision of intron 2, results into the generation of a second previously unreported protein isoform, annotated as HsfA2-II. HsfA2-II shows similar transcriptional activity to the full-length protein HsfA2-I in the presence of HsfA1a but lacks the nuclear export signal (NES) required for nucleocytoplasmic shuttling which allows efficient nuclear retention and stimulation of transcription of HS-induced genes. Furthermore, stability assays showed that HsfA2-II exhibits lower protein stability compared to HsfA2-I.
The presence of a second intron and the generation of a second protein isoform we identified in other Solanaceae species as well. Remarkably, we observed major differences in the splicing efficiency of HsfA2 intron 2 among different tomato species. Several wild tomato accessions exhibit higher splicing efficiency that favors the generation of HsfA2-II, while in these species the splice variant HsfA2-Iγ is absent. This natural variation in splicing efficiency specifically occurring at temperatures around 37.5oC is associated with the presence of 3 intronic polymorphisms. In the case of wild species these polymorphisms seemingly restrict the binding of RS2Z36, identified as a putative splicing silencer for HsfA2 intron 2.
Tomato accessions with the polymorphic “wild” HsfA2 show enhanced thermotolerance against a direct severe heat stress incident due to the stronger increase of Hsps and other stress induced genes. Introgression of the “wild” S. pennellii HsfA2 locus into the cultivar M82, resulted in enhanced seedling thermotolerance highlighting the potential use of the polymorphic HsfA2 for breeding.
We conclude that alterations in the splicing efficiency of HsfA2 have contributed to the adaption of tomato species to different environments and these differences might be directly related to natural variation in their thermotolerance.
Given rising life expectations around the world, it seems that old-age pension benefits will need to be cut and pension contributions boosted in many nations. Yet our research on old-age system reforms does not require raising mandatory retirement ages or contributions. Instead, we offer ways to enhance incentives for people to work longer and delay retirement. There are good reasons to incentivize older people to work longer and delay retirement. These include rising longevity, the shrinking workforce, and emerging evidence indicating that working longer can be associated with better mental and physical health for many people. Nevertheless, old age Social Security systems in many nations find that people tend to claim benefits early, usually leading to reduced benefits.In the United States, for instance, a majority of Americans claim their Social Security benefits at the earlier feasible age, namely 62, even though their monthly benefits would be 75% higher if they waited until age 70. To test whether this is the result of people underweighting the economic value of higher lifetime benefit streams, we examine whether people would claim later and work longer if they were rewarded with a lump sum instead of a higher lifetime benefit stream for deferring. Two arguments have been offered to explain early claiming. One is that workers claim early to avoid potentially “forfeiting” their deferred benefits should they die too soon (Brown et al., 2016). A second explanation is that many people underweight the economic value of lifetime benefit streams (Brown et al., 2017). This latter rationale motivates the present study.
Die 5-LO ist ein Schlüsselenzym der LT-Biosynthese. Sie katalysiert in einem ersten Schritt zunächst die Umsetzung freigesetzter AA zu 5-HPETE und wandelt diese anschließend in LTA4 um. LT sind starke Entzündungsmediatoren, die an entzündlichen und allergischen Reaktionen des Körpers beteiligt sind. Sie lösen eine Immunantwort aus und können zur Entstehung von Asthma bronchiale, allergischer Rhinitis, Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen und verschiedenen Krebserkrankungen beitragen [28]. NFS gehören zur Klasse der michaelreaktiven Verbindungen und inhibieren die 5-LO durch Interaktion mit katalytisch aktiven Cysteinresten in der Nähe der Substrateintrittspforte. Diese Tatsache macht michaelreaktive Verbindungen innerhalb der Entzündungsforschung zu einer interessanten Substanzklasse. Michaelreaktive Verbindungen besitzen eine durch Elektronenzug aktivierte Doppelbindung. Hierdurch verfügen diese Wirkstoffe über elekrophile Eigenschaften, wodurch sie leicht mit Nukleophilen reagieren können. Cysteine bestehen aus nukleophilen Thiolgruppen, die mit einer positiv polarisierten Doppelbindung, wie sie in michaelreaktiven Verbindungen vorliegt, reagieren können. Diese Tatsache kann sie zu effektiven und nachhaltigen Enzymaktivitätsmodulatoren machen. In dieser Arbeit wurde eine große Bandbreite verschiedenster michaelreaktiver Verbindungen auf ihre Fähigkeit untersucht, die 5-LO über Michael-Addition an ihren Cysteinen zu inhibieren. Zum einen wurden Pflanzeninhaltsstoffe mit antiinflammatorischen Eigenschaften, zugelassenene Wirkstoffe mit Michael-Akzeptorfunktion und zum anderen Verbindungen, die durch gezielte Struktursuche ausgewählt wurden, untersucht. Die Testung verschiedenster Strukturen sollte Aufschluss über strukturelle Voraussetzungen für die 5-LO-Inhibition durch Interaktion mit Cysteinen liefern. Hierfür wurden die Substanzen zunächst im intakten Zellsystem und schließlich am aufgereinigten Enzym (r5LO-wt) auf ihre 5-LO-inhibierenden Eigenschaften untersucht. Nachfolgende Messungen an r5LO-4C, deren vier prominente Cysteine durch Serin mutiert wurden, zeigten an, ob die Inhibition der 5-LO-Produktbildung cysteinabhängig war. Die hierbei erhaltenen Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass ganz bestimmte strukturelle Eigenschaften des Michael-Akzeptors, Voraussetzung für eine Interaktion mit den Cysteinen der 5-LO sind. Vor allem Verbindungen mit chinoidem Grundgerüst stellten sich als thiolreaktive Verbindungen heraus, die die 5-LO hauptsächlich über Interaktion mit ihren Cysteinen inhibierten. Weiterhin zeigten die erhaltenen Ergebnisse, dass die strukturelle Umgebung um die aktivierte Doppelbindung des Michael-Akzeptors enorme Auswirkungen auf die Thiolreaktivität hatte. TQ hemmte die 5-LO hauptsächlich über Interaktion mit Cysteinen, wohingegen die 5-LO-Inhibition durch Embelin unabhängig von Cysteinen zu sein schien. Eine daraufhin durchgeführte MALDI-MS-Analyse bestätigte die Bindung von NAPQI und TQ an die Cysteine 416 und 418. Durch diese Arbeit konnte erstmals gezeigt werden, dass eine Reihe antiinflammatorisch wirksamer, natürlich vorkommender Verbindungen wie TQ, Plumbagin, Primin und auch synthetisch generierte Verbindungen wie AA861, CDDO, Methyl-BQ, Methoxy-BQ, Methoxy-Nitrostyren, NAPQI und OH-BQ die 5-LO über Interaktion mit ihren Cysteinen inhibieren.
Die Entwicklung von neuartigen, funktionellen Materialien ist eine komplexe Aufgabe, da die Gesamteffizienz der zu entwickelnden Materialien von einer Vielzahl von Faktoren abhängt. Während die auf einer molekularen Ebene durchgeführte Funktionalisierung via chemischer Reaktionsführung genauso wichtig ist wie die makromolekulare Anordnung, kann die Frage nach einer geeigneten Verbesserung von gegenwärtigen Materialien nicht nur auf einer dieser beiden Ebenen beantwortet werden. Die in dieser Arbeit präsentierten Ergebnisse basieren auf der mirkoskopischen aber auch markoskopischen Betrachtung von neuartigen, funktionellen Nanomaterialien und den daraus gewonnenen Erkenntnissen. Das übergeordnete Ziel ist dabei das Verständnis und die Charakterisierung von Ladungsseparationsprozessen und die daraus resultierende Erzeugung von elektrischen Strömen in organischen photovoltaischen Materialien.
Die relevanten Ladungsseparationsprozesse werden oft im Kontext der Dissoziation von Exzitonen, gebundenen Elektron-Loch Paaren, beschrieben, welche innerhalb der Donordomäne eines beliebigen Donor-Akzeptor-Materials erzeugt werden. Dabei ist der Prozess der Exzitonengenerierung abhängig von der Nanomorphologie des entsprechenden Materials, typischerweise so genannten Bulk-Heterojunctions. Dahingehend ist es notwendig, die Effekte von intermolekularen Wechselwirkungen sowohl mittels quantenmechanischer als auch dynamischer Methoden zu betrachten. Um alle relevanten Zeitskalen und Prozesse zu betrachten ist es weiterhin notwendig, auf sowohl eine deterministische Darstellung im Rahmen von quantendynamischen Methoden als auch statistischen Methoden zurückzugreifen.
Um die oft ultraschnellen und kohärenten Exzitonendissoziationsprozesse zu untersuchen wurde eine Kombination aus high-level ab initio Methoden und zeitabhängiger Dichtefunktionaltheorie (TDDFT) angewandt, um geeignete Modellhamiltonians zu parametrisieren, welche schließlich mittels der Multi-Configurational Time-Dependent Hartree (MCTDH) und der Multilayer (ML-MCTDH) variante propagiert wurden. Die MCTDH Methode hat sich als geeignete Methode erwiesen um eine voll quantendynamische Beschreibung von bis zu 100 Freiheitsgraden durchzuführen; die ML-MCTDH Methode erlaubt gar bis zu 1000 Freiheitsgrade quantendynamisch zu behandeln. Die Parametrisierung der Modellhamiltonians, auf welchen die quantendynamische Behandlung basiert, wurde dabei für kleine, jedoch repräsentative Fragmente durchgeführt. Die geeignete Wahl dieser Fragmente sollte sicherstellen, dass zum einen alle relevanten intermolekularen als auch intramolekularen Wechselwirkungen enthalten sind, jedoch gleichzeitig eine möglichst akkurate Beschreibung mittels high-level elektronenstrukturtheoretischer Methoden in gegebener Zeit möglich ist.
Mit Hilfe dieser Methodenkombination wurden zwei Arten von funktionellen organischen Materialien untersucht. Das erste untersuchte System ist ein neuartiges Donor-Akzeptor System, bestehend aus selbstorganisierenden Oligothiophen-Perylenediimid Dimeren, welche in der Gruppe von S. Haacke und S. Mery der Universität Straßburg synthetisiert und spektroskopisch untersucht wurden. Die quantendynamischen Simulationen an diesem System sollten die Ergebnisse der experimentellen, zeitaufgelösten pump-probe Spektroskopie validieren und die dürftige Effizienz im Hinblick auf eine effektive Ladungstrennung erklären. Dabei konnte gezeigt werden, dass nach der Exzitonendissoziation Elektron und Loch auf räumlich benachbarten Donor- und Akzeptorfragmenten lokalisiert werden, was schließlich zu einem Rekombinationsprozess führen wird. Das zweite untersuchte System ist eine Kombination von Poly(3-Hexylthiophen-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) als Elektronendonor und [6,6]-Phenyl-C61 Butansäure Methyl-Ester (PCBM) als Elektronenakzeptor, welches schon hinreichend stark in diversen theoretischen und experimentellen Studien untersucht wurde. Aufbauend auf einem Gittermodell, welches in unserer Gruppe entwickelt wurde, wurde das Modellsystem um Charge Transfer Exzitonen in der Donordomäne erweitert. Die Bedeutung von solchen Charge Transfer Exzitonen in regioregulären Oligothiophenaggregaten ist ein aktuelles Thema in der Wissenschaft, sowohl in experimentellen aber auch theoretischen Abhandlungen. Neben der theoretischen Beschreibung zur Entstehung solcher Charge Transfer Exzitonen liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf dem Einfluss dieser predissoziierten Elektron-Loch Paaren auf die Ladungsseparationsdynamik zwischen Donor und Akzeptor sowie die Generierung von freinen Ladungsträgern. Dieser Aspekt der Ladungsseparation in einem P3HT-PCBM System wurde in dieser Art und Weise in dieser Arbeit zum ersten mal untersucht.
Neben dem zuvor erwähnten Donor-Akzeptor System erster Generation der Universität Straßburg wurde eine zweite Variante dieses Systems entwickelt, welches sich bei bisherigen experimentellen Untersuchungen als wesentlich effizienter erwies. Der interessante Prozess der Ladungsseparation ist dabei allerdings auf einer Zeitskala von mehreren hundert Pikosekunden angesiedelt, sodass kinetische Monte Carlo Methoden verwendet werden mussten um diese Prozesse zu modellieren. Dazu wurde ein Fortran90 Code entwickelt, welcher den First Reaction Method Algorithmus verwendet und explizite Delokalisationsprozesse behandelt, welche in dieser Form in kommerziellen Programmpaketen nicht enthalten ist. In vorangehenden Arbeiten konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Delokalisation von Exzitonen zu einer effektiven Herabsetzung der energetischen Barriere der Ladungsseparation führt und somit die Effizienz zur Stromumwandlung gesteigert werden konnte. Erste Simulationen mit diesem Code an idealisierten und zufällig generierten Donor-Akzeptor Morphologien lieferten realistische Werte für makroskopische Observablen wie Ladungsträgermobilitäten. Weiterhin wurden Simulationen einer coarse-grained Struktur zur zweiten Generation des Donor-Akzeptor Systems durchgeführt, ebenfalls mit Hinblick zur Untersuchung der Ladungsträgermobilität.
The Judgement of the EGC in the Case T-122/15 – Landeskreditbank Baden-Württemberg - Förderbank v European Central Bank is the first statement of the European judiciary on the sub-stantive law of the Banking Union. Beyond its specific holding, the decision is of great importance, because it hints at the methodological approach the EGC will take in interpreting prudential banking regulation in the appeals against supervisory measures that fall in its jurisdiction under TFEU, arts. 256(1) subpara 1 and 263(4). Specifically, the case pertained to the scope of direct ECB oversight of significant banks in the euro area and the reassignment of this competence to national competent authorities (NCAs) in individual circumstances (Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) Regulation, art. 6(4) subpara 2; SSM Framework Regulation, arts. 70, 71).
Proteinen die ExHepatitis C ist eine entzündliche Erkrankung der Leber, die durch das Hepatitis-C-Virus (HCV) verursacht wird. Trotz vieler Bemühungen ist heutzutage immer noch keine prophylaktische Vakzinierung verfügbar. Neuartige Therapien versprechen eine hohe Heilungsrate, sind aber mit hohen Kosten verbunden. HCV induziert oxidativen Stress, welcher für das Auftreten und die Progression der Pathogenese eine zentrale Rolle spielt. Um zellulären Stress (z.B. durch ROS) entgegenzuwirken, haben Zellen cytoprotective und detoxifizierende Mechanismen entwickelt, die die zelluläre Homöostase aufrechterhalten. Dabei kontrolliert der redoxsensitive Transkriptionsfaktor Nrf2 als Heterodimer zusammen mit sMaf- pression von cytoprotective und ROS-detoxifizierenden Genen. Vorherige Studien haben gezeigt, dass HCV den Nrf2/ARE-Signalweg beeinträchtigt. Dabei induziert HCV eine Translokation der sMaf-Proteine aus dem Zellkern in das Cytoplasma, wo diese das virale Protein NS3 binden. Im Cytoplasma lokalisierte sMaf-Proteine verhindern dadurch eine Translokation von Nrf2 in den Zellkern. Folglich ist die Expression von Nrf2/ARE-abhängigen cytoprotective Genen inhibiert und intrazelluläre ROS-Spiegel dauerhaft erhöht. Ein weiterer zentraler cytoprotective Mechanismus ist die Autophagie. Sie dient der Aufrechterhaltung der zellulären Homöostase durch den Abbau von defekten Proteinen und Organellen. Des Weiteren ist bekannt, dass Autophagie nicht nur im Laufe von Nährstoffmangel induziert wird, sondern auch durch erhöhte Mengen an ROS. In sämtlichen Studien konnte beobachtet werden, dass Autophagie für die Aufrechterhaltung des viralen Lebenszyklus eine wesentliche Rolle spielt, da sie mit der Ausbildung des membranous web, der Translation, der Replikation und der Freisetzung des Virus interferiert. Ausgehend davon sollte in dieser Arbeit zunächst die Relevanz von HCV-induziertem oxidativen Stress, resultierend aus der Nrf2/ARE-Signalweginhibition, als möglicher Aktivator der Autophagie untersucht werden. Dabei wurde in HCV-positiven Zellen eine Akkumulation von LC3-II beobachtet, was auf eine Induktion der Autophagie schließen lässt. In Übereinstimmung damit wurde eine erhöhte Expression von Autophagie-Markerproteinen in HCV-infizierten PHHs detektiert. Im Laufe der Autophagie wird p62 abgebaut. Somit sollte eine Induktion der Autophagie in einer Verminderung der Menge an p62 resultieren. Nichtsdestotrotz ist eine Akkumulation von p62 in HCV-positiven Zellen nachzuweisen. Dies erscheint zunächst widersprüchlich. Aufgrund der Tatsache, dass die Expression der katalytischen Untereinheit des Proteasoms (PSMB5) Nrf2-abhängig ist, führt die beeinträchtigte Nrf2-Aktivität in HCV-positiven Zellen jedoch zu einer verringerten Aktivität des konstitutiven Proteasoms. Dieser Befund kann auch die erhöhte Halbwertzeit von p62 in HCV-positiven Zellen erklären. Kürzlich wurde ein Zusammenspiel des Nrf2/ARE-Signalwegs und der Autophagie beobachtet. Dabei kann Nrf2 nicht nur über den kanonischen Signalweg aktiviert werden, sondern auch durch eine direkte Interaktion des phosphorylierten Autophagie-Adaptorproteins p62 (pS[349] p62) mit Keap1. In HCV-positiven Zellen können nicht nur eine Zunahme der Gesamtmenge von p62 beobachtet werden, sondern auch erhöhte Mengen an pS[349] p62. Die Berechnung des Quotienten aus pS[349] p62 und p62 zeigt in etwa eine Verdopplung der Menge an pS[349] p62 , was auf eine vermehrte Phosphorylierung von p62 in HCV-positiven Zellen rückschließen lässt. Des Weiteren konnte beobachtet werden, dass erhöhte Mengen an ROS, wie sie auch in HCV-positiven Zellen vorkommen, Autophagie induzieren können, die durch eine Akkumulation von LC3-II und die Zunahme von LC3 Puncta charakterisiert ist. Auch eine Zunahme von pS[349] p62 konnte beobachtet werden. Ferner resultierte die Überexpression der phosphomimetischen Mutante (p62 [S351E]) in einer Akkumulation von LC3-II, was auf die Fähigkeit von pS[349] p62 rückschließen lässt, Autophagie zu induzieren. Eine Modulation der Autophagie mittels der Inhibitoren 3-Methyladenin und Bafilomycin führte zu einer inhibierten Freisetzung von infektiösen viralen Partikeln und unterstreicht damit, dass der Autophagie eine essentielle Bedeutung bei der Freisetzung viraler Partikel zukommt. Eine HCV-Infektion wird sowohl von erhöhten Mengen an ROS als auch von einer Induktion der Autophagie begleitet. Dementsprechend führte eine Verminderung des intrazellulären Radikalspiegels durch eine Inkubation mit den Radikalfängern PDTC und NAC zu geringeren Mengen an LC3-II und pS[349] p62. Dabei konnte auch eine Abnahme der freigesetzten infektiösen viralen Partikel beobachtet werden, was ein Zusammenspiel zwischen erhöhten Mengen an ROS, Induktion der Autophagie und Virusfreisetzung nahelegt. Vorschlag: Erhöhte Mengen an ROS werden durch eine Aktivierung des Nrf2/ARE-Signalwegs detoxifiziert und würden somit den zuvor beschriebenen viralen Mechanismus verhindern. HCV die Aktivierung Nrf2/ARE-regulierter Gene beeinträchtigt, wurde die Hypothese aufgestellt, dass in HCV-positiven Zellen dieser komplexe Mechanismus dazu dient, die Translokation des pS[349] p62-abhängig freigesetzte Nrf2 in den Zellkern zu verhindern. Das wiederum hat eine eingeschränkte Expression von Nrf2/ARE-abhängigen Genen und Detoxifizierung von ROS zur Folge. Um diese Hypothese experimentell zu untersuchen, wurden HCV-positive und negative Zellen cotransfiziert mit dem p62 Wildtyp (p62 [wt]), der p62 phosphomimetischen Mutante (p62 [S351E]) oder einem Kontrollplasmid in Kombination mit einem Reporterkonstrukt, welches die Nrf2-Aktivierung darstellt (OKD48). Während in HCV-negativen Zellen im Vergleich zum p62 [wt] eine Transfektion mit p62 [S351E] zu einer signifikanten Aktivierung des Nrf2-abhängigen Reportergens führt konnte dies in HCV-positiven Zellen nicht beobachtet werden. Zusammengenommen beschreiben diese Ergebnisse einen neuartigen Mechanismus wie HCV das Zusammenspiel zwischen dem Nrf2/ARE-Signalweg, erhöhten Mengen an ROS und Autophagie beeinflusst. Dabei übt HCV einen negativen Effekt auf den Nrf2/ARE-Signalweg aus, um dem pS[349] p62-abhängig freigesetzten Nrf2 zu entkommen. Folglich werden erhöhte Mengen an ROS aufrechterhalten, die eine Induktion der Autophagie ermöglichen, welche für die Freisetzung viraler Partikel essentiell ist.
In dieser Arbeit wurden thermodynamische Eigenschaften eines chiralen Quark Meson Modelles untersucht. Das chirale Quark Meson Model beschreibt die starke Wechselwirkung über den Austausch von Mesonen und zudem die thermische und dichteabhängige Entwicklung der Quarkmassen im Medium über die chirale Symmetrie.Im SU(2) Model wurde zunächst in mean field approximation gearbeitet, um im Anschluss den divergenten Vakuumterm mit einzubeziehen. Nach eingehender Untersuchung der Ergebnisse, wurden dann die thermischen Mesonenfluktuationen studiert. In beiden Ansätzen verschiebt die Nullpunktsenergie den chiralen Phasenübergang zu höheren Temperaturen, wodurch die Massen bei höheren Temperaturen entarten. Beide Ansätze wurden dann zu einem gemeinsamen Modell kombiniert, um den Einfluss der Mesonenfluktuationen auf Ordnungsparameter, Massen und thermodynamische Grössen zu untersuchen. Als Fazit der Studie kann behauptet werden, dass sich der Einfluss der Mesonenfluktuationen in grösserem Maÿ auf die Thermodynamik, als auf den Ordnungsparameter und die Massen auswirkt. Im SU(3) Modell wurden ebenfalls regularisiert und zudem Vektormesonen mitberücksichtigt, welche die Repulsion zwischen den einzelnen Freiheitsgraden modelliert. Die Zustandsgleichung wird durch den Vakuum Term etwas softer und zeigt ein ähnliches Verhalten im niederen Energiebereich. Untersucht wurde neben der Temperatur T, die Elektron Baryon Rate Ye, die Sigma Meson Masse noch der Einfluss der Vektorkopplung. Aus der Zustandsgleichung konntendann Isentropen im T-mu Phasendiagramm errechnet werden, welche in naher Zukunft Aufschluss über eine dritte Familie von kompakten Sternen in Zusammenhang mit der entsprechenden Supernova Explosion geben könnte. Um die Existenz von kompakten Sternen genauer zu analysieren, wurde das chiraleSU(3) Quark Meson Modell bei T = 0 benutzt, um über die aus dem Formalismusgewonnenen Grössen Druck und Energiedichte die Tolmann-Oppenheimer-Volkoff zu lösen. Diese stellen die Masse-Radius Beziehungen kompakter Objekte dar. Auf der Suche nach Twin Stern Lösungen aus dem chiralen SU(3) Quark Meson Model wurde zunächst ein Modell für Hybridsterne entwickelt. Im untersuchten Parameterbereich fanden wir Hybrid Stern Lösungen, bei welchen der Einfluss der Quarkmaterie auf die Stabilität des Sternes untersucht wurde, denn das Einsetzen des Phasenüberganges übt einen zusätzlichen gravitativen Zug auf die hadronische Kruste aus. Der Stern ist stabil, wenn der Druck der Quarkmaterie diesem zusätzlichen Zug standzuhalten vermag. Für einen zu grossen Sprung in der Energiedichte werden die Lösungen jedoch instabil. Zwillingssterne waren nicht unter den Lösungen, da der Übergangsdruck relativklein sein muss, während der Energiedichtesprung eher gross sein sollte. Das Auftreten zweier stabiler Äste in der Masse Radius Relation kann allerdingsmit dem SU(3) Modell und entsprechendem chiralen Phasenübergang modelliert werden. Für einen gewissen Parameterbereich einhergehend mit kleinem Wert des Vakuum Druckes B konnten Nicht-Linearitäten in der Zustangsgleichungzur Lösung der TOV Gleichung beitragen. Im Weitern ist das Zusammenspiel der Vektorkopplung und der Sigma Mesonen Masse einflussreich auf die Lösungen, welche auf Kausalität, Stabilität und neben der 2 Sonnenmassen Bedingung noch auf Restriktionen vom millisecond pulsar PSR J1748-2446ad untersucht wurden.Mit Weltraummissionen wie etwa NICER (Neutron star Interior CompositionExploreR) sollte die Radiusbestimmung kompakter Objekte in Zukunft bis auf einen Kilometer genau bestimmt werden können. Die Entdeckung von zweiSternen mit der gleichen Masse und unterschiedlichen Radien wäre in der Tat ein Beweis für die Existenz von Zwillingssternen, welche dann die Theorie des Phasenüberganges in dichter Materie untermauern würde. Das Kollaps-Szenario eines Zwillingssternes würde weiteren Aufschluss über Neutrino-Emmissivität, Gamma-ray burster und Gravitationswellen Signale geben können. Dynamische Simulationen in allgemein relativistischem Kontext für compact star merger mit den hier diskutierten Zustandsgleichungen sind bereits in Planung, um Eigenschaftenwie beispielsweise das Temperatur- und Dichteprofil solcher Objekte genauer zu analysieren.
Yeast large ribosomal subunit (LSU) precursors are subject to substantial changes in protein composition during their maturation due to coordinated transient interactions with a large number of ribosome biogenesis factors and due to the assembly of ribosomal proteins. These compositional changes go along with stepwise processing of LSU rRNA precursors and with specific rRNA folding events, as revealed by recent cryo-electron microscopy analyses of late nuclear and cytoplasmic LSU precursors. Here we aimed to analyze changes in the spatial rRNA surrounding of selected ribosomal proteins during yeast LSU maturation. For this we combined a recently developed tethered tertiary structure probing approach with both targeted and high throughput readout strategies. Several structural features of late LSU precursors were faithfully detected by this procedure. In addition, the obtained data let us suggest that early rRNA precursor processing events are accompanied by a global transition from a flexible to a spatially restricted rRNA conformation. For intermediate LSU precursors a number of structural hallmarks could be addressed which include the fold of the internal transcribed spacer between 5.8S rRNA and 25S rRNA, the orientation of the central protuberance and the spatial organization of the interface between LSU rRNA domains I and III.
Der europäische Arbeitnehmerbegriff ist aus der arbeitsrechtlichen Praxis inzwischen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Das Ausmaß des Einflusses des Europarechts auf das nationale Arbeitsrecht ist insbesondere seit den Entscheidungen des EuGH in den Rechtssachen Danosa (EuGH, 11.11.2010 - C-232/09) und Balkaya (EuGH, 9.7.2015 - C-229/14) zum Arbeitnehmerstatus des Geschäftsführers einer Kapitalgesellschaft erheblich. Dieser Beitrag beleuchtet die Auswirkungen dieser Rechtsprechung auf den nationalen Arbeitnehmerbegriff.
Mistakes in translation of messenger RNA into protein are clearly a detriment to the recombinant production of pure proteins for biophysical study or the biopharmaceutical market. However, they may also provide insight into mechanistic details of the translation process. Mistakes often involve the substitution of an amino acid having an abundant codon for one having a rare codon, differing by substitution of a G base by an A base, as in the case of substitution of a lysine (AAA) for arginine (AGA). In these cases one expects the substitution frequency to depend on the relative abundances of the respective tRNAs, and thus, one might expect frequencies to be similar for all sites having the same rare codon. Here we demonstrate that, for the ADP-ribosylation factor from yeast expressed in E. coli, lysine for arginine substitutions frequencies are not the same at the 9 sites containing a rare arginine codon; mis-incorporation frequencies instead vary from less than 1 to 16%. We suggest that the context in which the codons occur (clustering of rare sites) may be responsible for the variation. The method employed to determine the frequency of mis-incorporation involves a novel mass spectrometric analysis of the products from the parallel expression of wild type and codon-optimized genes in 15N and 14N enriched media, respectively. The high sensitivity and low material requirements of the method make this a promising technology for the collection of data relevant to other mis-incorporations. The additional data could be of value in refining models for the ribosomal translation elongation process.
Mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) from the bone marrow to the peripheral blood is a complex mechanism that involves adhesive and chemotactic interactions of HSCs as well as their bone marrow microenvironment. In addition to a number of non-genetic factors, genetic susceptibilities also contribute to the mobilization outcome. Identification of genetic factors associated with HSC yield is important to better understand the mechanism behind HSC mobilization. In the present study, we enrolled 148 Korean participants (56 healthy donors and 92 patients) undergoing HSC mobilization for allogeneic or autologous HSC transplantation. Among a total of 53 polymorphisms in 33 candidate genes, one polymorphism (rs11264422) in relaxin/insulin-like family peptide receptor 4 (RXFP4) gene was significantly associated with a higher HSC yield after mobilization in Koreans. However, in a set of 101 Europeans, no association was found between circulating CD34+ cell counts and rs11264422 genotype. Therefore, we suggest that the ethnic differences in subjects’ genetic background may be related to HSC mobilization. In conclusion, the relaxin—relaxin receptor axis may play an important role in HSC mobilization. We believe that the results of the current study could provide new insights for therapies that use relaxin and HSC populations, as well as a better understanding of HSC regulation and mobilization at the molecular level.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of reduced z-axis scan coverage on diagnostic performance and radiation dose of neck CT in patients with suspected cervical abscess.
Methods: Fifty-one patients with suspected cervical abscess were included and underwent contrast-enhanced neck CT on a 2nd or 3rd generation dual-source CT system. Image acquisition ranged from the aortic arch to the upper roof of the frontal sinuses (CTstd). Subsequently, series with reduced z-axis coverage (CTred) were reconstructed starting at the aortic arch up to the orbital floor. CTstd and CTred were independently assessed by two radiologists for the presence/absence of cervical abscesses and for incidental and alternative findings. In addition, diagnostic accuracy for the depiction of the cervical abscesses was calculated for both readers. Furthermore, DLP (dose-length-product), effective dose (ED) and organ doses were calculated and compared for CTred and CTstd, using a commercially available dose management platform.
Results: A total of 41 abscesses and 3 incidental/alternative findings were identified in CTstd. All abscesses and incidental/alternative findings could also be detected on CTred resulting in a sensitivity and specificity of 1.0 for both readers. DLP, ED and organ doses of the brain, the eye lenses, the red bone marrow and the salivary glands of CTred were significantly lower than for CTstd (p<0.001).
Conclusions: Reducing z-axis coverage of neck CT allows for a significant reduction of effective dose and organ doses at similar diagnostic performance as compared to CTstd.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia in the elderly; important risk factors are old age and inheritance of the apolipoprotein E4 (APOE4) allele. Changes in amyloid precursor protein (APP) binding, trafficking, and sorting may be important AD causative factors. Secretase-mediated APP cleavage produces neurotoxic amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptides, which form lethal deposits in the brain. In vivo and in vitro studies have implicated sortilin-related receptor (SORL1) as an important factor in APP trafficking and processing. Recent in vitro evidence has associated the APOE4 allele and alterations in the SORL1 pathway with AD development and progression. Here, we analyzed SORL1 expression in neural stem cells (NSCs) from AD patients carrying null, one, or two copies of the APOE4 allele. We show reduced SORL1 expression only in NSCs of a patient carrying two copies of APOE4 allele with increased Aβ/SORL1 localization along the degenerated neurites. Interestingly, SORL1 binding to APP was largely compromised; this could be almost completely reversed by γ-secretase (but not β-secretase) inhibitor treatment. These findings may yield new insights into the complex interplay of SORL1 and AD pathology and point to NSCs as a valuable tool to address unsolved AD-related questions in vitro.
Die einzelnen Forschungsprojek
te sollen den breit aufgestellten Anwendungsbereich der Röntgenpulverdiffraktometrie im Bereich der Klärung von wissenschaftlichen Problemstellungen mit weiteren Beispielen komplementieren. Weiter soll die Nutzung der Synergie aus der kombinierten Anwendung von diversen strukturaufklärenden Methoden an polykristallinen Festkörpern aufgezeigt werden. Verwendet werden dazu Testsubstanzen aus verschiedenen, breit gefächerten Stoffklassen. Zum Einen wird die erfolgreiche Kristallstrukturbestimmung aus Röntgenpulverbeugungsdaten an einem diradikalischen Azobenzol-Derivates 1 (4-4'-Diazendiylbis[(1,4-phenyl)-bis-(carbonyloxy)]bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyloxidanyl) gezeigt. Die Substanzklasse der diradikalischen Verbindungen ist für die Bestimmung von Radikal-Radikal-Abständen per EPR-Methoden (electron paramagnetic resonance) sehr wichtig. Zur Validierung der ermittelten Abstände aus den EPR-Messungen musste der Radikal-Radikal-Abstand vorab bekannt sein. Der intramolekulare Radikal-Radikal-Abstand von 23,658(6) Å. welcher im gewünschten Radikal-Radikal-Abstandsbereich für EPR-Messungen liegt, somit konnte 1 als Testsubstanz für Abstandsbestimmungen mittels EPR validiert werden. Die vorliegende
Kristallstruktur wurde in der Raumgruppe P21/c (Z = 2, Z’ = 0,5) mit a = 19,3355(5) Å, b = 5,9277(2) Å, c = 14,5264(4) Å, β = 109,22(1)° und einem Volumen V = 1572,12(8) ų ermittelt. Der Molekülmittelpunkt von 1 liegt auf einem kristallographischen Inversionszentrum und das aromatische Fragment von Estergruppe zu Estergruppe bildet annähernd eine Ebene. Anhand der Kristallstrukturbestimmung aus Röntgenpulverbeugungsdaten soll die
Lokalisierung eines Wasserstoffatoms in direkter Nachbarschaft zu Molekülfragmenten mit einer hohen Anzahl an Chlorsubstituenten untersucht werden. Am Beispiel der Bestimmung des tautomeren Zustands des achtfach chlorierten Color Index Pigment Yellow 138 (P.Y. 138) kann die Synergie aus quantenchemischen Rechnungen, Festkörper-NMR-Messungen und der Kristallstrukturbestimmung aus Röntgenpulverbeugungsdaten gezeigt werden. Hierbei wurden unter anderen unterschiedliche Kristallstrukturverfeinerungsstrategien zur Ermittlung des tautomeren Zustands entwickelt und angewendet. P.Y. 138 liegt in der monoklinen Raumgruppe P21/c (Z = 4, Z’ = 1) mit a = 19,3750(5) Å, b = 7,8516(1) Å, c = 16,9704(4) Å, β = 105,649(2)° und V = 2485,9(1) ų als NH-Tautomer vor. Es bilden sich Molekülschichten parallel zur (100)-Ebene aus. Innerhalb der Schichten wirken Van-der-Waals-Kräfte; zwischen den Schichten dominieren Typ I Cl⋯Cl-Wechselwirkungen. An dem pharmazeutisch aktiven Wirkstoffes Flupirtinmaleat wird die immer noch hohe Relevanz der Röntgenpulverdiffraktometrie bei einer Polymorphiesuche gezeigt. Flupirtinmaleat ist aufgrund seiner analgetischen Wirkung, ohne typische weitere Eigenschaften von Schmerzmittel wie beispielsweise opiode oder herzrhythmusbeeinflussende aufzuweisen, eine höchst interessante Substanz. Neue Polymorphe können bessere Eigenschaften als die Ausgangsphase aufweisen oder auch den wirtschaftlichen Nutzen erhöhen, da diese patentierbar oder kostengünstiger und ressourcenschonender in der Herstellung sein können. Für das Flupirtinmaleat-Projekt wurden Aufnahme und Auswertung von Röntgenpulverdiffraktogrammen als standardisierte analytische Methoden zur Bestimmung von neuen kristallinen Phasen bei einer sehr großen Probenanzahl von über 500 Einzelversuchen, welche bei Polymorphiesuchen aufkommt, genutzt. Von der pharmazeutisch aktiven Substanz Flupirtinmaleat ist es gelungen, die neuen Festkörperphasen C, F, G und H zu entdecken. Ebenfalls konnte durch Vermahlungsexperimente Flupirtinbromid erzeugt werden. Des Weiteren wurden die Einkristallstrukturen von Flupirtinmaleat Form A und Flupirtin Phase B bestimmt. Das letzte Projektkapitel zeigt den Beginn einer methodischen Entwicklung zur Konfigurationsbestimmung von chiralen Molekülen aus Röntgenpulverbeugungsdaten. Ziel
der Methode ist es, ein schnelles Verfahren zur Ermittlung der absoluten Konfiguration und Strukturaufklärung von neu entwickelten Substanzen beispielsweise für pharmazeutische Wirkstoffe zu haben. Bei der Einkristallstrukturanalyse kann aus dem Reflexbild anhand von Intensitätsunterschieden spezieller Reflexpaare die Konfiguration einer Verbindung direkt bestimmt werden. Da dies bei Röntgenpulverdiffraktogrammen nicht der Fall ist, kann diese
Methode nicht angewendet werden. Zur Umsetzung des Leitgedankens sollen daher chirale Salze aus der Zielsubstanz mit unbekannter Konfiguration und einem Salzbildner bekannter Chiralität erzeugt werden. Der Drehsinn des bekannten Salzbildners soll sozusagen als
Ankerpunkt für die Bestimmung der absoluten Konfiguration dienen. Da ein Anwendungsschwerpunkt die pharmazeutische Forschung sein könnte, wurden als Grundlage der Methodenentwicklung chirale Testsysteme bestehend aus pharmazeutischen Wirkstoffen und Salzbildnern jeweils mit bekannter Konfiguration. Acht neue Entitäten von verschiedenen Wirkstoff-Salzbildner-Paaren konnten erzeugt und mittels Röntgenpulverbeugungsdaten bestätigt werden. Dies zeigt, dass durch Kristallisation wahrscheinlich durch Salzbildung, neue Entitäten mit einem Ankerpunkten zur späteren Konfigurationsbestimmung erzeugbar sind. Ebenfalls konnten aus Einkristallbeugungsdaten die Kristallstruktur von R-Flurbiprofen und Kristallstrukturen der Salze aus R-Flurbiprofen mit R-Phenylpropylamin und R-Aminoglutethimid mit R-Camphersulfonsäure bestimmt werden. Diese Kristallstrukturen, ganz speziell die der Salze, können im weiteren Verlauf zum Vergleich und/oder zur Validierung mit den Kristallstrukturen aus Röntgenpulverbeugungsdaten dienen. Hervorzuheben sind die Kristallisationsprodukte aus S-Flurbiprofen bzw. R-Flurbiprofen mit R-Phenylpropylamin, da diese voneinander unterscheidbare Röntgenpulverdiffraktogramme aufweisen die enantiomeren Ausgangsstoffe S- und R-Flurbiprofen jedoch nicht. Dies legt nahe, dass es grundsätzlich möglich sein sollte eine Konfigurationsbestimmung aus Röntgenpulverbeugungsdaten durchzuführen.
Riboswitches are an important class of regulatory RNA elements that respond to cellular metabolite concentrations to regulate gene expression in a highly selective manner. 2’-deoxyguanosine-sensing (2’dG) riboswitches represent a unique riboswitch subclass only found in the bacterium Mesoplasma florum and are closely related to adenine- and guanine-sensing riboswitches. The I-A type 2’dG-sensing riboswitch represses the expression of ribonucleotide reductase genes at high cellular concentrations of 2’dG as a result of premature transcription termination.
Increasing evidence within the last decade suggests that transcriptional regulation by riboswitches is controlled kinetically and emphasizes the importance of co-transcriptional folding.2–4 Addition of single nucleotides to nascent transcripts causes a continuous shift in structural equilibrium, where refolding rates are competing with the rate of transcription.5,6
For transcriptional riboswitches, both ligand binding and structural rearrangements within the expression platform are precisely coordinated in time with the rate of transcription. The current thesis investigates the mechanistic details of transcriptional riboswitch regulation using the I-A 2’dG-sensing riboswitch as an example for a riboswitch that acts under kinetic control.
Floodplains and other wetlands depend on seasonal river flooding and play an important role in the terrestrial water cycle. They influence evapotranspiration, water storage and river discharge dynamics, and they are the habitat of a large number of animals and plants. Thus, to assess the Earth’s system and its changes, a robust understanding of the dynamics of floodplain wetlands including inundated areas, water storages, and water flows is required.
This PhD thesis aims at improving the modeling of large floodplains and wetlands within the global-scale hydrological model WaterGAP, in order to better estimate water flows and water storage variations in different storage compartments. Within the scope of this thesis, I have developed a new approach to simulate dynamic floodplain inundation on a global-scale. This approach introduces an algorithm into WaterGAP, which has a spatial resolution of 0.5 degree (longitude and latitude) globally. The new approach uses subgrid-scale topography, based on high-resolution digital elevation models, to describe the floodplain elevation profile within each grid cell by applying a hypsographic curve. The approach comprises the modeling of a two-way river-floodplain interaction, the separate downstream water transport within the river and the floodplain – both with temporally and spatially different variable flow velocities – and the floodplain-groundwater interactions. The WaterGAP version that includes the floodplain algorithm, WaterGAP 2.2b_fpl, estimates floodplain and river water storage, inundated area and water table elevation, and also simulates backwater effects.
WaterGAP 2.2b_fpl was applied to model river discharge, river flow velocity, water storages, water heights and surface water extent on a global-scale. Model results were comprehensively validated against ground observations and remote sensing data. Overall, the modeled and observed data are in agreement. In comparison to the former version WaterGAP 2.2b, the model performance has improved significantly. The improvements are most remarkable in the Amazon River basin. However, the seasonal variation of surface water extent and total water storage anomalies are still too low in many regions on the globe when compared to observations. A detailed analysis of the simulated results suggests that in the Amazon River basin the introduction of backwater effects is important for realistically simulating water storages and surface water extent. Future efforts should focus on the simulation of water levels in order to better model the flow routing according to water slope. To further improve the model performance in specific regions, I recommend that the globally constant model parameters that affect inundation initiation, river-floodplain interaction, DEM correction for vegetation, and backwater amount at basin or subbasin-scale be adjusted.
Serine/arginine-protein kinase 1 (SRPK1) regulates alternative splicing of VEGF-A to pro-angiogenic isoforms and SRPK1 inhibition can restore the balance of pro/antiangiogenic isoforms to normal physiological levels. The lack of potency and selectivity of available compounds has limited development of SRPK1 inhibitors, with the control of alternative splicing by splicing factor-specific kinases yet to be translated. We present here compounds that occupy a binding pocket created by the unique helical insert of SRPK1, and trigger a backbone flip in the hinge region, that results in potent (<10 nM) and selective inhibition of SRPK1 kinase activity. Treatment with these inhibitors inhibited SRPK1 activity and phosphorylation of serine/arginine splicing factor 1 (SRSF1), resulting in alternative splicing of VEGF-A from pro-angiogenic to antiangiogenic isoforms. This property resulted in potent inhibition of blood vessel growth in models of choroidal angiogenesis in vivo. This work identifies tool compounds for splice isoform selective targeting of pro-angiogenic VEGF, which may lead to new therapeutic strategies for a diversity of diseases where dysfunctional splicing drives disease development.
Faces are thought to be processed primarily according to their configurations which is in-ferred from comparisons with non-facial stimuli. While the whole (face) seems to be more than the sum of its parts, the same does not apply to objects which are processed analytically according to their featural information. A recent recognition model stresses the importance of certain visual information within facial stimuli. By applying a specific filtering technique, stimuli can be generated that are restricted to contain information of only a certain orienta-tion. Dakin and Watt (2009) reported greatest recognition performance with faces that only contained horizontally aligned information with accuracy continuously declining at vertical. Furthermore, they showed that, compared with images of natural scenes, horizontal contours within faces have an unusual tendency to fall into vertically co-aligned clusters which were labelled biological ‘bar code’ referring to a highly constrained one-dimensional code. Con-secutive research tested for face-specific processing by comparing faces and objects that displayed information of different orientations. Results suggested configural processing only for faces that contained horizontal information (Goffaux & Dakin, 2010). The findings con-tribute important insight on a still unanswered question in face processing research: what information is extracted from faces for recognizing them. Despite the importance of remembering human faces on a daily basis, this ability seems to develop disadvantageously over lifetime. Decreased accuracy cannot be attributed to de-creased general cognitive ability (Hildebrandt, Wilhelm, Schmiedek, Herzmann, & Sommer, 2011) and slower reactions times are assumed to be a product of decision making rather than sensory speed (Habak, Wilkinson, & Wilson, 2008). Considering the amount of published work on face recognition, there is a lack of studies available assessing this important ability at a higher age. New theoretical concepts are rarely examined with older participants, appar-ently assuming their general validity. The current dissertation tries to help fill this gap by assessing the importance of horizontal information from a developmental perspective com-paring younger and older adults under different experimental variations. The first study showed, that presenting older participants with horizontally filtered faces has a dispropor-tional negative impact on recognizing younger unfamiliar faces suggesting differential pro-cessing mechanisms, since recognizing stimuli that only contained vertical information did not differ between age groups. On this basis, the following study manipulated the presented stimulus material, since some evidence suggests that own-age faces are more easily recog-nized compared to faces of other ages, which is referred to as “own-age bias”. Therefore, the second study systematically assessed the impact of stimulus age on recognition sensitivity. Moreover, encoding modalities were varied by providing increased exposure duration to the stimuli. The results of the first study were replicated, as older participants’ performance was still poor at recognizing younger faces, independent from encoding modalities. However, similar face recognition sensitivity compared to younger adults was observable when filtered faces of the older adults’ own age had to be recognized. Interestingly, correlations between recognizing filtered and unfiltered faces were obtained for younger adults but not for older adults suggesting age variant processing of horizontal information. The last study assessed the importance of horizontal information with stimulus material familiar to the observer. Although research highlights differences between recognizing unfamiliar and familiar stimu-lus material, this factor is often not considered by contemporary research. By presenting par-ticipants with their own faces, a stimulus of greatest individual familiarity was chosen. The superiority of own face recognition over other familiar material is referred to as “self-face advantage” and has been shown in comparison with personally familiar faces (Keyes & Brady, 2010) and famous faces (Caharel et al., 2002). While younger adults indeed recog-nized their self-faces better compared to famous faces independent from stimuli being fil-tered or unfiltered, older participants displayed a completely different pattern including the inability to recognize their filtered self-faces. Again, significant associations were obtained between filtered and unfiltered recognition conditions suggesting convergent processing mechanisms for younger adults but not for the older age group. This dissertation provides a first insight in the divergence of response behavior in older adults with a recent face processing model. While the obtained data undermine the im-portance of horizontal information in younger adults by replicating and extending previously published work, a profoundly different type of processing is suggested at a higher age which largely relies on low-level pictorial information due to the inability to process horizontally filtered faces configurally. Specifically, it is suggested that with age, focusing on aging-salient features with configural processing disrupted may function as a critical source of di-agnostic information which can ultimately result in performance similar to younger adults.
The transcription factor Meis1 drives myeloid leukemogenesis in the context of Hox gene overexpression but is currently considered undruggable. We therefore investigated whether myeloid progenitor cells transformed by Hoxa9 and Meis1 become addicted to targetable signaling pathways. A comprehensive (phospho)proteomic analysis revealed that Meis1 increased Syk protein expression and activity. Syk upregulation occurs through a Meis1-dependent feedback loop. By dissecting this loop, we show that Syk is a direct target of miR-146a, whose expression is indirectly regulated by Meis1 through the transcription factor PU.1. In the context of Hoxa9 overexpression, Syk signaling induces Meis1, recapitulating several leukemogenic features of Hoxa9/Meis1-driven leukemia. Finally, Syk inhibition disrupts the identified regulatory loop, prolonging survival of mice with Hoxa9/Meis1-driven leukemia.
Background: This study aims at identifying orthodontic activities with the highest frequency of unfavorable/awkward and static postures held over a period of more than 4 s based on kinematic analysis. Moreover, a separate analysis of static postures for orthodontic and non-orthodontic activities serves to evaluate the duration for which these particular postures are assumed.
Methods: In total, 21 (13f/8 m) orthodontists (age: 31.5 ± 3.8 years) participated in this study. CUELA, a personal measurement system, was used to collect kinematic data for all orthodontic activities in a working day. Angle values of the head and torso were evaluated in accordance with ergonomic standards. Only those postures that were held statically for 4 s and longer were selected for further analysis. Alongside the kinematic analysis, the activities performed on-site were also subject to a detailed computerized analysis. The synchronization of data collected from both measurements arranges the patterns of posture found chronologically and in conjunction with the orthodontic activities performed ((I) "treatment" (II) "office" and (III) "other activities").
Results: For (I) we observed an anterior inclination of the head and torso area as well as a twist of the head and neck area to the right. We found anterior back inclination and lateral back torsion to the right for (II) and (III). If, furthermore, we differentiate the duration of static postures, there are primarily short to medium-term (4–30s) static postures identified for (I). Also, categories (II) and (III) predominantly demonstrate static back postures with a duration of up to 30 s. With regard to (II) we observed that the back is ventrally inclined for 10.1% of the total activity duration.
Conclusions: During treatment static strains are observed in the entire head and torso area. On the contrary, static postures prevalent in the torso area are essential for activities of the other categories, particularly office work. These findings allow for a careful selection of unfavorable and static postures for each of the activities performed and help to develop specific preventive measures.
Background: Many fungal species occur across a variety of habitats. Particularly lichens, fungi forming symbioses with photosynthetic partners, have evolved remarkable tolerances for environmental extremes. Despite their ecological importance and ubiquity, little is known about the genetic basis of adaption in lichen populations. Here we studied patterns of genome-wide differentiation in the lichen-forming fungus Lasallia pustulata along an altitudinal gradient in the Mediterranean region. We resequenced six populations as pools and identified highly differentiated genomic regions. We then detected gene-environment correlations while controlling for shared population history and pooled sequencing bias, and performed ecophysiological experiments to assess fitness differences of individuals from different environments.
Results: We detected two strongly differentiated genetic clusters linked to Mediterranean and temperate-oceanic climate, and an admixture zone, which coincided with the transition between the two bioclimates. High altitude individuals showed ecophysiological adaptations to wetter and more shaded conditions. Highly differentiated genome regions contained a number of genes associated with stress response, local environmental adaptation, and sexual reproduction.
Conclusions: Taken together our results provide evidence for a complex interplay between demographic history and spatially varying selection acting on a number of key biological processes, suggesting a scenario of ecological speciation.
Background: Transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1) are sensitive to heat, capsaicin, pungent chemicals and other noxious stimuli. They play important roles in the pain pathway where in concert with proinflammatory factors such as leukotrienes they mediate sensitization and hyperalgesia. TRPV1 is the target of several novel analgesics drugs under development and therefore, TRPV1 genetic variants might represent promising candidates for pharmacogenetic modulators of drug effects.
Methods: A next-generation sequencing (NGS) panel was created for the human TRPV1 gene and in addition, for the leukotriene receptors BLT1 and BLT2 recently described to modulate TRPV1 mediated sensitisation processes rendering the coding genes LTB4R and LTB4R2 important co-players in pharmacogenetic approaches involving TRPV1. The NGS workflow was based on a custom AmpliSeq™ panel and designed for sequencing of human genes on an Ion PGM™ Sequencer. A cohort of 80 healthy subjects of Western European descent was screened to evaluate and validate the detection of exomic sequences of the coding genes with 25 base pair exon padding.
Results: The amplicons covered approximately 97% of the target sequence. A median of 2.81 x 10 6 reads per run was obtained. This identified approximately 140 chromosome loci where nucleotides deviated from the reference sequence GRCh37 hg19 comprising the three genes TRPV1, LTB4R and LTB4R2. Correspondence between NGS and Sanger derived nucleotide sequences was 100%.
Conclusions: Results suggested that the NGS approach based on AmpliSeq™ libraries and Ion Personal Genome Machine (PGM) sequencing is a highly efficient mutation detection method. It is suitable for large-scale sequencing of TRPV1 and functionally related genes. The method adds a large amount of genetic information as a basis for complete analysis of TRPV1 ion channel genetics and its functional consequences.
Drug product performance testing is an important part of quality-by-design approaches, but this process often lacks the underlying mechanistic understanding of the complex interactions between the disintegration and dissolution processes involved. Whereas a recent draft guideline by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has allowed the replacement of dissolution testing with disintegration testing, the mentioned criteria are not globally accepted. This study provides scientific justification for using disintegration testing rather than dissolution testing as a quality control method for certain immediate release (IR) formulations. A mechanistic approach, which is beyond the current FDA criteria, is presented. Dissolution testing via United States Pharmacopeial Convention Apparatus II at various paddle speeds was performed for immediate and extended release formulations of metronidazole. Dissolution profile fitting via DDSolver and dissolution profile predictions via DDDPlus™ were performed. The results showed that Fickian diffusion and drug particle properties (DPP) were responsible for the dissolution of the IR tablets, and that formulation factors (eg, coning) impacted dissolution only at lower rotation speeds. Dissolution was completely formulation controlled if extended release tablets were tested and DPP were not important. To demonstrate that disintegration is the most important dosage form attribute when dissolution is DPP controlled, disintegration, intrinsic dissolution and dissolution testing were performed in conventional and disintegration impacting media (DIM). Tablet disintegration was affected by DIM and model fitting to the Korsmeyer–Peppas equation showed a growing effect of the formulation in DIM. DDDPlus was able to predict tablet dissolution and the intrinsic dissolution profiles in conventional media and DIM. The study showed that disintegration has to occur before DPP-dependent dissolution can happen. The study suggests that disintegration can be used as performance test of rapidly disintegrating tablets beyond the FDA criteria. The scientific criteria and justification is that dissolution has to be DPP dependent, originated from active pharmaceutical ingredient characteristics and formulations factors have to be negligible.
Biophysical studies of the translation-regulating add adenine riboswitch from Vibrio vulnificus
(2017)
Bacterial gene expression can be regulated at mRNA level by cis-acting mRNA elements termed riboswitches. Riboswitches operate by conformational switching between a ligand-free and a ligand-bound state with different structures that either activate or inhibit gene expression. This PhD thesis contributes to the molecular level understanding of full-length purine riboswitches. It presents biophysical investigations on the ligand-dependent folding of the full-length translation-regulating add adenine riboswitch from the gram-negative human pathogenic marine bacterium Vibrio vulnificus (Asw). Asw has the typical bipartite riboswitch architecture with a 5’ ligand-sensing aptamer domain and a 3’ regulatory domain termed expression platform. According to the working hypothesis, Asw employs a unique thermodynamically-controlled 3-state conformational switching mechanism between an apoB, an apoA and a holo conformation to regulate translation initiation in a temperature-compensated manner. The two apo conformations are the putative translation-OFF states and the holo conformation is the putative translation-ON state of Asw. In the main project of this PhD thesis, an integrated nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and smFRET spectroscopic study of the full-length 112-nucleotide Asw (112Asw) was performed. The adenine-dependent folding of 112Asw was monitored at the level of base pairing interactions by NMR of the RNA imino protons, and at the level of three long-range intramolecular distances by smFRET of immobilized molecules. The integrated NMR and smFRET spectroscopic study of 112Asw yielded two major findings. First, NMR and smFRET both revealed that adenine binding to 112Asw impedes apoB formation by stabilizing the apoA secondary structure in the holo conformation without modulating tertiary structural interactions between the two riboswitch domains. This highlights the central role of competitive P1 and P4 helix formation at the interface of the aptamer and the expression platform for switching the accessibility of the ribosome binding site of 112Asw. Moreover, it strongly corroborates the hypothesis that purine riboswitches in general operate according to the key principle of a spatially decoupled secondary structural allosteric switch that proceeds without ligand-induced tertiary structural interactions between the aptamer domain and the expression platform. Second, it was uncovered by smFRET that the apoA and the holo conformation of 112Asw do not adopt a single folding state at near-physiological Mg2+ concentration. Instead, apoA and holo exhibit a persistent dynamic equilibrium between substates with an undocked (U), a short-lived docked (D1; ~s) and a Mg2+-bound long-lived docked (D2; ~10 s) aptamer kissing loop motif. In the holo conformation, the fractional population of the long-lived docked substate is ~2-fold increased compared to the apoA conformation, but undocked and docked substates are still comparably stable. The here described multiple folding states of the apoA and the holo conformation might have regulatory properties that are in between the apoB translation-OFF state and the holo-D2 translation-ON state. Additonally, an integrated NMR and smFRET analysis of 127-nucleotide Asw (127Asw) is presented. Compared to 112Asw, 127Asw is 3’-elongated by 15 nucleotides of the adenosine deaminase encoding sequence of the add gene from Vibrio vulnificus. 127Asw was chosen as mRNA template for future investigations of the interaction between Asw and the 30S ribosomal subunit. The NMR spectra of 127Asw demonstrated that 127Asw has the same overall secondary structure as 112Asw. Like for 112Asw, the combined NMR and smFRET analysis of 127Asw showed that adenine binding impedes apoB formation and stabilizes a long-lived docked aptamer kissing loop fold. However, compared to 112Asw, 127Asw has a destabilized aptamer kissing loop motif and a stabilized P4 helix in the expression platform. Finally, ligand-observed studies of the transient encounter complex between Asw and the near-cognate ligand hypoxanthine are described. By competition binding WaterLOGSY NMR experiments with hypoxanthine and the adenine analogue 2,6-diaminopurine, it could be shown that hypoxanthine binds to the same binding site of 112Asw as the cognate ligand adenine. The hypoxanthine binding constant measured with the WaterLOGSY method is in the low mM range (1.8 mM) and substantially exceeds the physiological hypoxanthine concentration in E. coli (~0.3 mM), thus ruling out that hypoxanthine binding can significantly impact the translational regulation of Asw in vivo. Also, preliminary FTIR difference spectra of 13C,15N-labelled and unlabelled hypoxanthine in complex with the pbuE adenine riboswitch aptamer and the xpt guanine riboswitch aptamer are discussed. These spectra showed a pattern of multiple IR bands that appeared to be characteristic for the respective complex.
Wir erleben eine enorme Beschleunigung, besonders im Berufsleben. Unser Alltag ist überfrachtet von Dringlichem und Deadlines. Und dann mit über 60 folgt der Ausstieg aus dem ausgefüllten, für manche erfüllten Berufsleben: Welche Risiken birgt dieser Übergang? Dazu der Sozialpsychologe Prof. Rolf Haubl (65) im Gespräch mit Ulrike Jaspers (60).

Kernarbeitszeit oder Überstunden – solche Begriffe tauchen heute in Arbeitsverträgen kaum noch auf. Ist ein Problem zu lösen, dann geschieht das eben auch nachts oder am Wochenende. 84 Prozent der Arbeitnehmer sind mit ihrem Smartphone auch außerhalb der Arbeitszeit im Standby-Modus. Flexible Arbeitszeiten und individualisierte Arbeitsmodelle bringen zwar dem Einzelnen mehr Freiheiten, um den Alltag seinen Lebensumständen anzupassen, führen aber auch zur Entgrenzung der Arbeit, nicht selten mit gravierenden sozialen und besonders gesundheitlichen Folgen.
Leuchtend Licht und liebliches Leben : über Zeit und Glück bei Walter Benjamin und Marcel Proust
(2017)
Wenn das menschliche Leben der Vergänglichkeit unterworfen ist, wie kann der Mensch dann Glück erfahren? Für Walter Benjamin offenbart sich Glück nur in kurzen Momenten als eine Erlösung von der linear fortschreitenden Zeit, und das geschieht in der Begegnung mit der Kunst. Marcel Proust sucht das Glück in der wiedergefundenen Zeit der Erinnerung – auch dies bleiben Erfahrungen des Augenblicks.

Was Du heute kannst besorgen, das verschiebe nicht auf morgen: Dieser sprichwörtliche Rat kommt nicht von ungefähr. Viele von uns schieben oft wochenlang eine Aufgabe vor sich her – häufig mit schlechtem Gewissen. Doch woher kommt das ewige Aufschieben eigentlich? Wer ist davon betroffen? Und was kann man dagegen tun?
Dringlichkeiten geben häufig den Takt im Alltag vor. Denn Wettbewerbsdruck und damit verbundene Beschleunigung verändern nicht nur die Arbeitswelt, sondern auch den Familienalltag und die individuelle Lebensführung. Doch weshalb gewinnen im Umgang mit der Zeit Kriterien der Effizienz und "Rendite" so leicht an Bedeutung? Offenbar wird es keineswegs nur als leidvoll erlebt, sich daran anzupassen.
Also, ich bleibe gern an roten Fußgängerampeln stehen – auch wenn kein Auto kommt. Das kurze Innehalten tut mir gut. Seit ich meiner Tochter vor einiger Zeit aus meinem zerfledderten Momo-Band vorgelesen habe, muss ich dabei zuweilen an Momos Weg zu Meister Hora denken: Zusammen mit der Schildkröte Kassiopeia bringt sie sich langsam, Schritt für Schritt, in Sicherheit vor den "grauen Herren"...
Jede Zeitnische will ausgefüllt sein mit Chatten, Spielen oder E-Mails-Abrufen. Zeit, die für das Innehalten und Durchatmen fehlt. Bestimmen die digitalen Medien unser Leben, begeben wir uns wie Geiseln in ihre Abhängigkeit? Oder ist es umgekehrt: Können wir überhaupt erst mit ihrer Hilfe ein selbstbestimmteres Leben führen?
Sie rast, sie schleicht, sie fließt, sie tröpfelt: Obwohl der Tag immer 24 Stunden hat, nehmen wir die Zeit sehr unterschiedlich wahr. In der Kindheit tickt die innere Uhr anders als in der Rushhour des Lebens oder kurz vor dem Tod. Aber nicht nur das Alter spielt eine Rolle, sondern viele weitere Faktoren beeinflussen unser Zeitempfinden.

"Ich lag wieder in einer Wiege, wo ich über die Zeit nicht mehr zu bestimmen hatte, und das brachte mich zu der Frage, inwieweit ich das überhaupt je getan hatte." ...
Laut jüdischem Kalender entstand die Welt vor genau 5778 Jahren, nach der Bibel vor 6021 Jahren. Doch als Forscher begannen, auf und in der Erde selbst nach Spuren ihres Alters zu suchen, mussten sie die Zahl immer weiter nach oben korrigieren. Nach heutigen Datierungsmethoden ist unser Planet zwischen 4,5 und 4,6 Milliarden Jahre alt.
A growing number of defense-industrial 3D printing fairs, print-a-thons and the amount of defense dollars, particularly in the US, going into the technology of 3D printing speak to the fact that the defense industry and some countries’ armed forces recognize the great potential of the technology. 3D printing indeed allows the quicker, cheaper, and easier development of weapons, and even entirely new weapon designs. This applies to the full range of weapons categories: Small arms and light weapons (e.g. guns, guns, guns and grenade launchers), conventional weapon systems (drones, tanks, missiles, hypersonic scramjets) – and possibly even weapons of mass destruction.

Die Entstehung von Leukämien steht meist im Zusammenhang mit chromosomalen Translokationsereignissen, bei denen vor allem das MLL (Mixed Lineage Leukemia)-Gen auf Chromosom 11q23 involviert ist. Die häufigste Translokation, die eine Akute Lymphatische Leukämie (ALL) bei Kleinkindern auslöst, stellt die t(4;11)-Translokation dar. Die Rekombination der Chromosomen 11 und 4 führt hierbei zur Entstehung der beiden Fusionsproteine MLL-AF4 und AF4-MLL. Bisherige Studien, die den Krankheitsmechanismus hinter dieser ALL-Form untersuchten, identifizierten eine charakteristische Überexpression der HOXA-Gene als einen besonderen Treiber dieser Krankheitsentstehung. Durch die Deregulierung des HOX-Clusters durch das chimäre MLL-AF4-Protein wird ein Differenzierungs- und Apoptoseblock induziert und eine stetige Proliferation der Zellen gefördert. Arbeiten von Trentin et al. (2009) klassifizierten eine Subgruppe von t(4;11)-Patienten, die, im Gegensatz zu den bisher charakterisierten ALL-Leukämien, eine Reprimierung ihrer HOXA-Cluster aufwiesen und mit einer schlechteren Prognose assoziiert waren. Das Genexpressionsprofil dieser HOXAlow-Patienten sprach für einen neuen Krankheitsmechanismus. Allen HOXAlow-Patienten war zudem gemein, dass sie eine Überexpression des Transkriptionsfaktors IRX1 aufwiesen. Die Relevanz dieses Transkriptionsfaktors im Kontext einer t(4;11)-Leukämie wurde durch diese Doktorarbeit genauer untersucht. Durch Vorarbeiten mit transient exprimiertem IRX1 in HEK293T-Zellen wurde eine DNA-Microarray-Analyse durchgeführt, durch die ein Genexpressionsprofil (GEP) dieser Zellen im Vergleich zu Kontrollzellen (mit dem Leervektor transfiziert) erstellt wurde. Dies schuf die Grundlage für die Durchführung weiterer Experimente, die mit Hilfe von RT-PCR-, Chromatin-Immunpräzipitations-, Co-Immunpräzipitations- und Western Blot-Versuchen den Effekt und das Verhalten des IRX1-Proteins im Zusammenhang mit MLL-AF4, bzw. die Funktion von IRX1 alleine, charakterisieren sollten. Es zeigte sich, dass IRX1 eine Reprimierung der HOXA-Gene induziert und dieser Effekt über den aktivierenden Effekt des chimären MLL-AF4-Proteins dominiert. Dies geschah jedoch auf zwei unterschiedliche Wege, da zum einen das IRX1 in der Abwesenheit von MLL-AF4 nicht direkt an die HOXA-Gene binden kann und zum anderen durch MLL-AF4 eine Inkorporation des IRX1 in den Multiproteinkomplex des chimären Onkoproteins stattfindet und IRX1 dadurch direkt an die HOXA-Promotoren gelangt. Zudem wurden weitere direkte und indirekte Zielgene des IRX1 identifiziert. Zu ihnen zählen MEIS1, HOXB4 und EGR1-3. Durch die Erweiterung der Versuche durch Behandlungen mit dem pan-HDAC-Inhibitor Trichostatin A konnte belegt werden, dass MLL-AF4 vom Promotor seiner Zielgene dissoziiert und durch das endogene wt-MLL ersetzt werden kann. Trotz der inhibitorischen Wirkung des IRX1 auf das MLL-AF4 verursacht es eine Stabilisierung des MLL-AF4 an den Promotoren seiner Zielgene, was eine Dissoziation des Komplexes durch TSA verhindert. Die Applikation von TSA führt unabhängig von der vorherigen Konstitution (±IRX1) aber auch zu einer Normalisierung der HOXA-Expression. Die vorgelegten Daten verdeutlichen, dass IRX1 kausal für das GEP der HOXAlow-Patienten verantwortlich ist und durch seine Anwesenheit wichtige Regulatoren der Differenzierung und der Zellzyklusregulierung gestört werden. Zudem wurde der Benefit einer Histondeacetylaseinhibitor (HDACi)-Behandlung bei dieser Patientenkohorte hervorgehoben, da der inhibierende Effekt des IRX1 auf die HOXA-Gene aufgehoben und das wt-MLL in seiner Funktionsfähigkeit nicht beeinträchtigt wurde. Die Relevanz des IRX1 im Kontext einer t(4;11)-Leukämie wurde somit aufgeklärt und ein neuer Krankheits-mechanismus der HOXAlow-Patientenkohorte definiert. Ein weiterer Aspekt dieser Arbeit war die Etablierung eines Transfektionsprotokolls, um eine stabile Integrationen der Sleeping Beauty-Konstrukte in t(4;11)-Suspensionszellen zu ermöglichen. Bisher war es nur über lentivirale Methoden möglich, diese Zellen genetisch zu manipulieren. Durch die hier vorgestellte Methode können nun SEM-Zellen (B-Zell-Vorläuferzellen einer ALL mit t(4;11)) über Elektroporation stabil transfiziert und anschließend über Selektion zu einer homogenen Zellpopulation positiv transfizierter Zellen herangezogen werden. Hierdurch wird eine Übertragung bisheriger Methoden in ein leukämisches Zellsystem möglich, wodurch genetische Manipulationen in einer physiologischen Umgebung getestet werden können, ohne in S2-Laboratorien arbeiten zu müssen.
In cancer medicine, particularly in drug research and development, structural changes in professionalism can be observed as examples. This field is characterized by a strong tension between social expectations concerning the control of existential risks to health, on the one hand, and strong commercial interests of a shareholder value-driven industry, on the other hand. Based on a qualitative empirical analysis, two subfields within the field of cancer medicine are reconstructed. One of these subfields—colon cancer therapy—could be interpreted as representing a renewal of the knowledge-power nexus. The pattern of the other subfield—brain tumour research—refers to a much more vulnerable professionalism. Both fields are characterized by development in professional work, which could be described with the hybridization concept. Therefore, the contrast between the two empirical examples presented still challenges the theoretical interpretation of contemporary professionalism.
Die Wahl des US Präsidenten Donald Trump im November 2016 brachte der Welt politische sowie wirtschaftliche Unsicherheiten. Diese wurden durch seine Ankündigung verstärkt, eine Regierung mit der Zielsetzung "America First" zu formen und radikale Veränderungen in der US Innen- und Außenpolitik durchzusetzen.
Der populistische und isolationistische Ansatz des US Präsidenten Trump (speziell während seines Wahlkampfs) führte auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks zu politischen Schlussfolgerungen und Kommentaren von Experten, dass die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika ihre Position an der Spitze der globalen Politik aufgeben würden. Dieselben Experten fanden in Deutschland das Land, welches nach Ihrer Meinung, die Voraussetzung mit sich bringt und, nicht minder wichtig, sich auch dazu bereit erklärt, die industrielle und liberaldemokratische Welt in das 21. Jahrhundert zu führen.
Deutschland und seine Kanzlerin Merkel stellen sich dieser neuen Rolle enthusiastisch gegenüber. Auf einer Wahlveranstaltung in München am 28.

Die transatlantischen Bündnisse, um gemeinsamen Wohlstand und Sicherheit zu gewährleisten, sieht Merkel nicht mehr als zuverlässig an...
Multimorbilidad en medicina de familia y los principios Ariadne : un enfoque centrado en la persona
(2017)
La multimorbilidad, definida como la presencia de dos o más enfermedades crónicas en un mismo individuo, conlleva consecuencias negativas para la persona e importantes retos para los sistemas sanitarios. En atención primaria, donde recae esencialmente la atención de este grupo de pacientes, la consulta es más compleja que la de un paciente con una única enfermedad debido, entre otros, al hecho de tener que manejar mayor cantidad de información clínica, disponer de poca evidencia científica para abordar la multimorbilidad, y tener que coordinar la labor de múltiples profesionales para garantizar la continuidad asistencial. Además, para poder implementar correctamente los planes de tratamiento en estos pacientes es necesario un proceso de toma de decisiones compartida médico-paciente. Entre las distintas herramientas disponibles para apoyar dicho proceso, recientemente se ha desarrollado una dirigida específicamente a pacientes con multimorbilidad en atención primaria y que se describe en el presente artículo: los principios Ariadne.
This paper examines the relationship between oil movements and systemic risk of financial institution in major petroleum-based economies. We estimate ΔCoVaR for those institutions and observe the presence of elevated increases in its levels corresponding to the subprime and global financial crises. The results provide evidence in favor of risk measurement improvements by accounting for oil returns in the risk functions. The spread between the standard CoVaR and the CoVaR that includes oil absorbs in a time range longer than the duration of the oil shock. This indicates that the drop in the oil price has a longer effect on risk and requires more time to be discounted by the financial institutions. To support the analysis, we consider also the other major market-based systemic risk measures.
Epilepsy is a complex neurological disorder which can severely affect neuronal function. Some patients may experience status epilepticus, a life-threatening state of ongoing seizure activity associated with postictal cognitive dysfunction. However, the molecular mechanisms by which status epilepticus influences brain function beyond seizure activity remain not well understood. Here, we addressed the question of whether pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus affects synaptopodin (SP), an actin-binding protein, which regulates the ability of neurons to express synaptic plasticity. This makes SP an interesting marker for epilepsy-associated alterations in synaptic function. Indeed, single dose intraperitoneal pilocarpine injection (250 mg/kg) in three-month-old male C57BL/6J mice leads to a rapid reduction in hippocampal SP-cluster sizes and numbers (in CA1 stratum radiatum of the dorsal hippocampus; 90 min after injection). In line with this observation (and previous work using SP-deficient mice), a defect in the ability to induce long-term potentiation (LTP) of Schaffer collateral-CA1 synapses is observed. Based on these findings we propose that status epilepticus could exert its aftereffects on cognition at least in part by perturbing SP-dependent mechanisms of synaptic plasticity.
Motivated by tools for automaed deduction on functional programming languages and programs, we propose a formalism to symbolically represent $\alpha$-renamings for meta-expressions. The formalism is an extension of usual higher-order meta-syntax which allows to $\alpha$-rename all valid ground instances of a meta-expression to fulfill the distinct variable convention. The renaming mechanism may be helpful for several reasoning tasks in deduction systems. We present our approach for a meta-language which uses higher-order abstract syntax and a meta-notation for recursive let-bindings, contexts, and environments. It is used in the LRSX Tool -- a tool to reason on the correctness of program transformations in higher-order program calculi with respect to their operational semantics. Besides introducing a formalism to represent symbolic $\alpha$-renamings, we present and analyze algorithms for simplification of $\alpha$-renamings, matching, rewriting, and checking $\alpha$-equivalence of symbolically $\alpha$-renamed meta-expressions.
We introduce rewriting of meta-expressions which stem from a meta-language that uses higher-order abstract syntax augmented by meta-notation for recursive let, contexts, sets of bindings, and chain variables. Additionally, three kinds of constraints can be added to meta-expressions to express usual constraints on evaluation rules and program transformations. Rewriting of meta-expressions is required for automated reasoning on programs and their properties. A concrete application is a procedure to automatically prove correctness of program transformations in higher-order program calculi which may permit recursive let-bindings as they occur in functional programming languages. Rewriting on meta-expressions can be performed by solving the so-called letrec matching problem which we introduce. We provide a matching algorithm to solve it. We show that the letrec matching problem is NP-complete, that our matching algorithm is sound and complete, and that it runs in non-deterministic polynomial time.
IFN-lambda (IFNλ) is a member of the type III IFN family and is reported to possess anti-pathogen, anti-cancer, and immunomodulatory properties; however, there are limited data regarding its impact on host immune responses in vivo. We performed longitudinal and comprehensive immunosurveillance to assess the ability of pegylated (peg)-IFNλ to augment antiviral host immunity as part of a clinical trial assessing the efficacy of peg-IFNλ in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. These patients were pretreated with directly acting antiviral therapy (entecavir) for 12 weeks with subsequent addition of peg-IFNλ for up to 32 weeks. In a subgroup of patients, the addition of peg-IFNλ provoked high serum levels of antiviral cytokine IL-18. We also observed the enhancement of natural killer cell polyfunctionality and the recovery of a pan-genotypic HBV-specific CD4+ T cells producing IFN-γ with maintenance of HBV-specific CD8+ T cell antiviral and cytotoxic activities. It was only in these patients that we observed strong virological control with reductions in both viral replication and HBV antigen levels. Here, we show for the first time that in vivo peg-IFNλ displays significant immunostimulatory properties with improvements in the main effectors mediating anti-HBV immunity. Interestingly, the maintenance in HBV-specific CD8+ T cells in the presence of peg-IFNλ is in contrast to previous studies showing that peg-IFNα treatment for CHB results in a detrimental effect on the functionality of this important antiviral T cell compartment.
Young children are at greatest risk of exposure to lead and its effects. Although lead is one of the most widely used elements with known health hazard, there is little data on the blood lead level (BLL) of children in the Kathmandu Valley. Thus, this study aimed to assess factors associated with high BLL in children who were 6–36 months of age and resided in the Kathmandu Valley. In this hospital-based cross-sectional study 6–36 month-old children visiting the Paediatrics Outpatient Department of Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Patan Hospital, and Siddhi Memorial Hospital were enrolled. All three hospitals are located in different areas inside the Kathmandu Valley. Written informed consent was obtained from the parents, and exposure data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Portable Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) was used to determine BLLs in children. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. Of 312 children enrolled in the study, 64.4% had BLLs ≥5μg/dl. A significant association was found between BLL and exposure to enamel paints in the household in the form of painting materials used in different parts of the house like walls, windows and doors (p = 0.001). Furthermore, multivariate analyses showed that BLLs were 4.5 times higher in children playing with dirt and dust (p = 0.006) and that children belonging to the community of lower caste/ethnicity groups had significantly higher BLLs compared to those from the upper caste groups (p = 0.02). Our study demonstrated that children living in households that have used enamel paints, children belonging to lower caste/ethnic groups, and children frequently playing with dirt and dust had significantly higher BLLs. The results of this study highlight the importance of policy decisions to limit environmental lead contamination, and to roll out awareness building measures designed to limit lead exposure and break the poverty cycle associated with chronic lead poisoning.
Background: Only few authors have analyzed the impact of workplace conflicts and the resulting stress on the risk of developing cardiovascular disorders. The goal of this study was to analyze the association between workplace conflicts and cardiovascular disorders in patients treated by German general practitioners.
Methods: Patients with an initial documentation of a workplace conflict experience between 2005 and 2014 were identified in 699 general practitioner practices (index date). We included only those who were between the ages of 18 and 65 years, had a follow-up time of at least 180 days after the index date, and had not been diagnosed with angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, coronary heart diseases, or stroke prior to the documentation of the workplace mobbing. In total, the study population consisted of 7,374 patients who experienced conflicts and 7,374 controls for analysis. The main outcome measure was the incidence of angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and stroke correlated with workplace conflict experiences.
Results: After a maximum of five years of follow-up, 2.9% of individuals who experienced workplace conflict were affected by cardiovascular diseases, while only 1.4% were affected in the control group (p-value <0.001). Workplace conflict was associated with a 1.63-fold increase in the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Finally, the impact of workplace conflict was higher for myocardial infarction (OR=2.03) than for angina pectoris (OR=1.79) and stroke (OR=1.56).
Conclusions: Overall, we found a significant association between workplace conflicts and cardiovascular disorders.
Ice nucleating particles over the eastern mediterranean measured by unmanned aircraft systems
(2017)
During an intensive field campaign on aerosol, clouds, and ice nucleation in the Eastern Mediterranean in April 2016, we measured the abundance of ice nucleating particles (INPs) in the lower troposphere from unmanned aircraft systems (UASs). Aerosol samples were collected by miniaturized electrostatic precipitators onboard the UASs at altitudes up to 2.5 km. The number of INPs in these samples, which are active in the deposition and condensation modes at temperatures from −20 to −30 °C, were analyzed immediately after collection on site using the ice nucleus counter FRIDGE (FRankfurt Ice nucleation Deposition freezinG Experiment). During the 1-month campaign, we encountered a series of Saharan dust plumes that traveled at several kilometers' altitude. Here we present INP data from 42 individual flights, together with aerosol number concentrations, observations of lidar backscattering, dust concentrations derived by the dust transport model DREAM (Dust Regional Atmospheric Model), and results from scanning electron microscopy. The effect of the dust plumes is reflected by the coincidence of INPs with the particulate matter (PM), the lidar signal, and the predicted dust mass of the model. This suggests that mineral dust or a constituent related to dust was a major contributor to the ice nucleating properties of the aerosol. Peak concentrations of above 100 INPs std L−1 were measured at −30 °C. The INP concentration in elevated plumes was on average a factor of 10 higher than at ground level. Since desert dust is transported for long distances over wide areas of the globe predominantly at several kilometers' altitude, we conclude that INP measurements at ground level may be of limited significance for the situation at the level of cloud formation.
In search for new natural products, which may lead to the development of new drugs for all kind of applications, novel methods are needed. Here we describe the identification of electrophilic natural products in crude extracts via their reactivity against azide as a nucleophile followed by their subsequent enrichment using a cleavable azide-reactive resin (CARR). Using this approach, natural products carrying epoxides and α,β-unsaturated enones as well as several unknown compounds were identified in crude extracts from entomopathogenic Photorhabdus bacteria.
Einleitung: Ziel dieser Studie war es zu evaluieren, ob das Prüfungsformat einer OSPE (Objective Structured Practical Examination) durchgeführt im Fach Zahnerhaltungskunde (6. Fachsemester) den Studienerfolg im praktischen Teil des Staatsexamens (11. Fachsemester) im selben Fach prädiziert. Ferner sollte unter Berücksichtigung allgemeiner Angaben der StudienteilnehmerInnen (Abitursnote, Physikumsnote, Studiendauer, Kohorte und Geschlecht) analysiert werden, ob bezüglich der Gesamt- sowie Teilnoten der OSPE und der adäquaten Staatsexamensprüfung Zusammenhänge oder Unterschiede bestehen.
Methoden: Im Rahmen dieser longitudinalen, retrospektiven Studie wurden für einen Zeitraum von 11 Semestern prüfungsbezogene Daten von Studierenden (N=223) des Fachbereichs Zahnmedizin in Frankfurt am Main erhoben und untersucht. Für die statistische Auswertung der Daten wurden Spearman Rangkorrelationen, Partialkorrelationen, Korrelationskoeffizienten nach Pearson, und Multiple Regressionen (SPSS Statistics 21, IBM Corporation, New York) berechnet.
Ergebnisse: Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass OSPE (Cronbachs α=.87) mit dem Erfolg im praktischen Teil des Staatsexamens im Fach Zahnerhaltungskunde korreliert (p=.01, r=.17). Als eine weitere signifikante Korrelation mit der Examensleistung erwies sich die Dauer des Studiums (p=.001, r=.23). Gemeinsam leisten diese beiden Variablen einen signifikanten Beitrag zur Vorhersage der Examensnote (p=.001, R2=.076). Das zeigte sich im größeren Umfang bei weiblichen Studierenden. Zudem wurde festgestellt, dass diese bessere Abiturnoten als männliche Studierende aufweisen (F=6.09, p=.01, η2=.027) und dass es lediglich bei männlichen Studierenden eine signifikante Korrelation zwischen der Physikumsnote (Zahnärztliche Vorprüfung) und der OSPE-Benotung gab (r=.17, p=.01).
Schlussfolgerung: In der vorliegenden Untersuchung konnte der prädiktive Effekt einer klinischen OSPE auf die Prüfungsleistung im Staatsexamen gezeigt werden. Unter Berücksichtigung der Limitation der Studie empfiehlt sich aus unserer Sicht die Durchführung eines solchen Prüfungsformats im Rahmen des klinischen Studienabschnitts im 6. Semester im Fach Zahnmedizin.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to ascertain whether the testing format of an OSPE (Objective Structured Practical Examination) in conservative dentistry (sixth semester) predicts the scores on the practical section of the state examination (11th semester) in the same subject. Taking general student profiles into consideration (score on the school-leaving exam [Abitur], score on the preliminary exam in dental medicine [Physikum], length of university study, cohorts, and sex), we also investigated if any correlations or differences exist in regard to the total and partial scores on the OSPE and the corresponding state examination.
Methods: Within the scope of this longitudinal retrospective study, exam-specific data spanning 11 semesters for dental students (N=223) in Frankfurt am Main were collected and analyzed. Statistical analysis was carried out by calculating Spearman rank correlations, partial correlations, Pearson’s correlation coefficients, and multiple regressions (SPSS Statistics 21, IBM Corporation, New York).
Results: The results show that the OSPE (Cronbach’s α=.87) correlates with level of success on the practical section of the state exam in conservative dentistry (p=.01, r=.17). Length of university study also emerged to correlate significantly with the state exam score (p=.001, r=.23). Together, these two variables contribute significantly to predicting the state exam score (p=.001, R2=.076). This was seen extensively among female students. It was also discovered that these female students had higher school-leaving exam scores than male students (F=6.09, p=.01, η2=.027), and that a significant correlation between scores on the Physikum (preliminary exam in dental medicine) and OSPE scores existed only for male students (r=.17, p=.01).
Conclusion: This study was able to demonstrate the predictive effect of a clinical OSPE regarding scores achieved on the state exam. Taking the limitations of this study into account, we are able to recommend using the OSPE testing format in the sixth semester during the clinical phase of dental study.
The red yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous is an established platform for the synthesis of carotenoids. It was used for the generation of novel multi oxygenated carotenoid structures. This was achieved by a combinatorial approach starting with the selection of a β-carotene accumulating mutant, stepwise pathway engineering by integration of three microbial genes into the genome and finally the chemical reduction of the resulting 4,4’-diketo-nostoxanthin (2,3,2’,3’-tetrahydroxy-4,4’-diketo-β-carotene) and 4-keto-nostoxanthin (2,3,2’,3’-tetrahydroxy-4-monoketo-β-carotene). Both keto carotenoids and the resulting 4,4’-dihydroxy-nostoxanthin (2,3,4,2’,3’,4’-hexahydroxy-β-carotene) and 4-hydroxy-nostoxanthin (2,3,4,2’3’-pentahydroxy-β-carotene) were separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and analyzed by mass spectrometry. Their molecular masses and fragmentation patterns allowed the unequivocal identification of all four carotenoids.
