Development of a CRISPR/Cas gene editing technique for the coccolithophore Chrysotila carterae
(2024)
Nils-Hendrik Grohmann beschäftigt sich mit dem noch andauernden Stärkungsprozess der UN-Menschenrechtsvertragsorgane. Er analysiert, welche rechtlichen Befugnisse die Ausschüsse haben, ob sie von sich aus Vorschläge einbringen können und inwieweit sie ihre Verfahrensweisen bisher aufeinander abgestimmt haben. Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Zusammenarbeit zwischen den verschiedenen Ausschüssen und der Frage, welche Rolle das Treffen der Vorsitzenden bei der Stärkung spielen kann.
This dissertation examines the lack of clarity in the scientific literature regarding gender and negotiation performance. It is often claimed that men negotiate better than women, yet it is simultaneously emphasized that results strongly depend on context. Through the use of qualitative methods such as content analysis and critical mixed-methods review, the research question: "Are women truly inferior negotiators compared to men?" is addressed. The study comprises a descriptive and an interpretive part. The descriptive section illuminates various interpretations of gender-specific negotiation theory among citing authors, with 67% arguing for a general superiority of men. However, given the high variance in gender-specific differences, the focus should instead be on the context-dependency of negotiation performance. Generalized statements can be made within contexts, but not across them. In the interpretive section, several factors contributing to this misinterpretation are highlighted, including discrepancies in the definition of negotiation performance and distortions in research communication.. From a scientific perspective, this study underscores the need for a nuanced sociological analysis and warns against the one-sided acceptance of inaccurate scientific interpretations. From a practical standpoint, it amplifies the voices of women affected by biased research paradigms. Overall, the dissertation clarifies the theory of gender-specific negotiation performance and advocates for the elimination of biases in scientific discourse.
Electricity production contributes to a significant share of greenhouse gas emissions in Europe and is thus an important driver of climate change. To fulfil the Paris Agreement, the European Union (EU) needs a rapid transition to a fully decarbonised power production system. Presumably, such a system will be largely based on renewables. So far, many EU countries have supported a shift towards renewables such as solar and wind power using support schemes, but the economic and political context is changing. Renewables are now cheaper than ever before and have become cost-competitive with conventional technologies. Therefore, European policymakers are striving to better integrate renewables into a competitive market and to increase the cost-effectiveness of the expansion of renewables. The first step was to replace previous fixed-price schemes with competitive auctions. In a second step, these auctions have become more technology-open. Finally, some governments may phase out any support for renewables and fully expose them to the competitive power market.
However, such policy changes may be at odds with the need to rapidly expand renewables and meet national targets due to market characteristics and investors’ risk perception. Without support, price risks are higher, and it may be difficult to meet an investor’s income expectations. Furthermore, policy changes across different countries could have unexpected effects if power markets are interconnected and investors able to shift their investments. Finally, in multi-technology auctions, technologies may dominate, which can be a risk for long-term power system reliability. Therefore, in my thesis, I explore the effects of phasing out support policies for renewables, of coordinating these phase-outs across countries, and of using multi-technology designs. I expand the public policy literature about investment behaviour and policy design as well as policy change and coordination, and I further develop an agent-based model.
The main questions of my thesis are what the cost and deployment effects of gradually exposing renewables to market forces would be and how coordination between countries affects investors’ decisions and market prices.. In my three contributions to the academic literature, I use different methods and come to the following results. In the first contribution, I use a conjoint analysis and market simulation to evaluate the effects of phasing out support or reintroducing feed-in tariffs from the perspective of investors. I find that a phase-out leads to investment shifts, either to other still-supported technologies or to other countries that continue to offer support. I conclude that the coordination of policy changes avoids such shifts.. In the second contribution, I integrate the empirically-derived preferences from the first contribution in to an agent-based power system model of two countries to simulate the effects of ending auctions for renewables. I find that this slows the energy transition, and that cross-border effects are relevant. Consequently, continued support is necessary to meet the national renewables targets. In the third contribution, I analyse the outcome of past multi-technology auctions using descriptive statistics, regression analysis as well as case study comparisons. I find that the outcomes are skewed towards single technologies. This cannot be explained by individual design elements of the auctions, but rather results from context-specific and country-specific characteristics. Based on this, I discuss potential implications for long-term power system reliability.
The main conclusions of my thesis are that a complete phase-out of renewables support would slow down the energy transition and thus jeopardize climate targets, and that multi-technology auctions may pose a risk for some countries, especially those that cannot regulate an unbalanced power plant portfolio in the long term. If policymakers decide to continue supporting renewables, they may consider adopting technology-specific auctions to better steer their portfolio. In contrast, if policymakers still want to phase out support, they should coordinate these policy changes with other countries. Otherwise, overall transition costs can be higher, because investment decisions shift to still-supported but more expensive technologies.
Cross-sectional associations of dietary biomarker patterns with health and nutritional status
(2024)
Aging is associated with bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis and high fracture risk. This coincides with the enhanced formation of bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT), suggesting a negative effect of bone marrow adipocytes on skeletal health. Increased BMAT formation is also observed in pathologies such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis. However, a subset of bone marrow adipocytes forming the constitutive BMAT (cBMAT), arise early in life in the distal skeleton, contain high levels of unsaturated fatty acids and are thought to provide a physiological function. Regulated BMAT (rBMAT) forms during aging and obesity in proximal regions of the bone and contain a large proportion of saturated fatty acids. Paradoxically, BMAT accumulation is also enhanced during caloric restriction (CR), a life-span extending dietary intervention. This indicates, that different types of BMAT can form in response to opposing nutritional stimuli with potentially different functions.
To this end, two types of nutritional interventions, CR and high fat diet (HFD), that are both described to induce BMAT accumulation were carried out. CR markedly increased BMAT formation in the proximal tibia and led to a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, making it similar to the physiological cBMAT. Additionally, proximal and diaphyseal tibia regions displayed higher adiponectin expression. In aged mice, CR was associated with an improved trabecular bone structure. Taken together, these findings demonstrate, that the type of BMAT that forms during CR might provide beneficial effects for local bone stem/progenitor cells and metabolic health. The HFD intervention performed in this thesis showed no effect on BMAT accumulation and bone microstructure. RNA Seq analysis revealed alterations in the composition of the collagen-containing extracellular matrix (ECM).
In order to investigate the effects of glucose homeostasis on osteogenesis, differentiation capacity of immortalized multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and osteochondrogenic progenitor cells (OPCs) was analyzed. Insulin improved differentiation in both cell types, however, combination of with a high glucose concentration led to an impaired mineralization of the ECM. In the MSCs, this was accompanied by the formation of adipocytes, indicating negative effects of the adipocytes formed during hyperglycemic conditions on mineralization processes. However, the altered mineralization pattern and structure of the ECM was also observed in OPCs, which did not form any adipocytes, suggesting further negative effects of a hyperglycemic environment on osteogenic differentiation.
In summary, the work provided in this thesis demonstrated that differentiation commitment of bone-resident stem cells can be altered through nutrient availability, specifically glucose. Surprisingly, both high nutrient supply, e.g. the hyperglycemic cell culture conditions, and low nutrient supply, e.g. CR, can induce adipogenic differentiation. However, while CR-induced adipocyte formation was associated with improved trabecular bone structure, adipocyte formation in a hyperglycemic cell-culture environment hampered mineralization. This thesis provides further evidence for the existence of different types of BMAT with specific functions.
Diglossic translanguaging
(2024)
This book examines how German-speaking Jews living in Berlin make sense and make use of their multilingual repertoire. With a focus on lexical variation, the book demonstrates how speakers integrate Yiddish and Hebrew elements into German for indexing belonging and for positioning themselves within the Jewish community. Linguistic choices are shaped by language ideologies (e.g., authenticity, prescriptivism, nostalgia). Speakers translanguage when using their multilingual repertoire, but do so in a diglossic way, using elements from different languages for specific domains
The biosecurity individual
(2024)
Discoveries in biomedicine and biotechnology, especially in diagnostics, have made prevention and (self)surveillance increasingly important in the context of health practices. Frederike Offizier offers a cultural critique of the intersection between health, security and identity, and explores how the focus on risk and security changes our understanding of health and transforms our relationship to our bodies. Analyzing a wide variety of texts, from life writing to fiction, she offers a critical intervention on how this shift in the medical gaze produces new paradigms of difference and new biomedically facilitated identities: biosecurity individuals.
How do the rights of same-sex couples have to be ensured by states, and which kind of environmental obligations are induced by the right to life and to personal integrity? Questions as diverse and far-reaching as these are regularly dealt with by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in its advisory function. This book is the first comprehensive, non-Spanish-written treatise on the advisory function of this Court. It analyzes the scope of the Court's advisory jurisdiction and its procedural practice in comparison with that of other international courts. Moreover, the legal effects of the Court’s advisory opinions and the question when the Court should better reject a request for an advisory opinion are examined.
The African weakly electric fish genus Campylomormyrus includes 15 described species mostly native to the Congo River and its tributaries. They are considered sympatric species, because their distribution area overlaps. These species generate species-specific electric organ discharges (EODs) varying in waveform characteristics, including duration, polarity, and phase number. They exhibit also pronounced divergence in their snout, i.e. the length, thickness, and curvature. The diversifications in these two phenotypical traits (EOD and snout) have been proposed as key factors promoting adaptive radiation in Campylomormyrus. The role of EODs as a pre-zygotic isolation mechanism driving sympatric speciation by promoting assortative mating has been examined using behavioral, genetical, and histological approaches. However, the evolutionary effects of the snout morphology and its link to species divergence have not been closely examined. Hence, the main objective of this study is to investigate the effect of snout morphology diversification and its correlated EOD to better understand their sympatric speciation and evolutionary drivers. Moreover, I aim to utilize the intragenus and intergenus hybrids of Campylomormyrus to better understand trait divergence as well as underlying molecular/genetic mechanisms involved in the radiation scenario. To this end, I utilized three different approaches: feeding behavior analysis, diet assessment, and geometric morphometrics analysis. I performed feeding behavior experiments to evaluate the concept of the phenotype-environment correlation by testing whether Campylomormyrus species show substrate preferences. The behavioral experiments showed that the short snout species exhibits preference to sandy substrate, the long snout species prefers a stone substrate, and the species with intermediate snout size does not exhibit any substrate preference. The experiments suggest that the diverse feeding apparatus in the genus Campylomormyrus may have evolved in adaptation to their microhabitats. I also performed diet assessments of sympatric Campylomormyrus species and a sister genus species (Gnathonemus petersii) with markedly different snout morphologies and EOD using NGS-based DNA metabarcoding of their stomach contents. The diet of each species was documented showing that aquatic insects such as dipterans, coleopterans and trichopterans represent the major diet component. The results showed also that all species are able to exploit diverse food niches in their habitats. However, comparing the diet overlap indices showed that different snout morphologies and the associated divergence in the EOD translated into different prey spectra. These results further support the idea that the EOD could be a ‘magic trait’ triggering both adaptation and reproductive isolation. Geometric morphometrics method was also used to compare the phenotypical shape traits of the F1 intragenus (Campylomormyrus) and intergenus (Campylomormyrus species and Gnathonemus petersii) hybrids relative to their parents. The hybrids of these species were well separated based on the morphological traits, however the hybrid phenotypic traits were closer to the short-snouted species. In addition, the likelihood that the short snout expressed in the hybrids increases with increasing the genetic distance of the parental species. The results confirmed that additive effects produce intermediate phenotypes in F1-hybrids. It seems, therefore, that morphological shape traits in hybrids, unlike the physiological traits, were not expressed straightforward.
Mitochondria and plastids are organelles with an endosymbiotic origin. During evolution, many genes are lost from the organellar genomes and get integrated in the nuclear genome, in what is known as intracellular/endosymbiotic gene transfer (IGT/EGT). IGT has been reproduced experimentally in Nicotiana tabacum at a gene transfer rate (GTR) of 1 event in 5 million cells, but, despite its centrality to eukaryotic evolution, there are no genetic factors known to influence the frequency of IGT in higher eukaryotes. The focus of this work was to determine the role of different DNA repair pathways of double strand break repair (DSBR) in the integration step of organellar DNA in the nuclear genome during IGT. Here, a CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis strategy was implemented in N. tabacum, with the aim of generating mutants in nuclear genes without expected visible phenotypes. This strategy led to the generation of a collection of independent mutants in the LIG4 (necessary for non-homologous end joining, NHEJ) and POLQ genes (necessary for microhomology mediated end joining, MMEJ). Targeting of other DSBR genes (KU70, KU80, RPA1C) generated mutants with unexpectedly strong developmental phenotypes.. These factors have telomeric roles, hinting towards a possible relationship between telomere length, and strength of developmental disruption upon loss of telomere structure in plants. The mutants were made in a genetic background encoding a plastid-encoded IGT reporter, that confers kanamycin resistance upon transfer to the nucleus. Through large scale independent experiments, increased IGT from the chloroplast to the nucleus was observed in lig4 mutants, as well as lines encoding a POLQ gene with a defective polymerase domain (polqΔPol). This shows that NHEJ or MMEJ have a double-sided relationship with IGT: while transferred genes may integrate using either pathway, the presence of both pathways suppresses IGT in wild-type somatic cells, thus demonstrating for the first time the extent on which nuclear genes control IGT frequency in plants. The IGT frequency increases in the mutants are likely mediated by increased availability of double strand breaks for integration. Additionally, kinetic analysis reveals that gene transfer (GT) events accumulate linearly as a function of time spent under antibiotic selection in the experiment, demonstrating that, contrary to what was previously thought, there is no such thing as a single GTR in somatic IGT experiments. Furthermore, IGT in tissue culture experiments appears to be the result of a "race against the clock" for integration in the nuclear genome, that starts when the organellar DNA arrives to the nucleus granting transient antibiotic resistance. GT events and escapes of kanamycin selection may be two possible outcomes from this race: those instances where the organellar DNA gets to integrate are recovered as GT events, and in those cases where timely integration fails, antibiotic resistance cannot be sustained, and end up considered as escapes. In the mutants, increased opportunities for integration in the nuclear genome change the overall ratio between IGT and escape events. The resources generated here are promising starting points for future research: (1) the mutant collection, for the further study of processes that depend on DNA repair in plants (2) the collection of GT lines obtained from these experiments, for the study of the effect of DSBR pathways over integration patterns and stability of transferred genes and (3) the developed CRISPR/Cas9 workflow for mutant generation, to make N. tabacum meet its potential as an attractive model for answering complex biological questions.
The G protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER1) is acknowledged as an important mediator of estrogen signaling. Given the ubiquitous expression of GPER1, it is likely that the receptor plays a role in a variety of malignancies, not only in the classic hormonally regulated tissues (e.g., breast, ovary, and prostate), but also in the colon. As colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in both men and women worldwide and environmental factors and dietary habits are important risk factors, it is increasingly recognized that natural and synthetic hormones and their associated receptors might play a role in CRC. Through oral consumption, environmental contaminants with endocrine activity are in contact with the gastrointestinal mucosa, where they might exert their toxic effects. Although GPER1 has been shown to be engaged in physiological and pathophysiological processes, its role in CRC remains poorly understood. Thus, pro- as well as anti-tumorigenic effects are described in the literature. This thesis has uncovered novel roles of GPER1 in mediating major CRC-associated phenotypes in transformed and non-transformed colon cell lines. Exposure to the estrogens 17β-estradiol (E2), bisphenol-A (BPA) and diethylstilbestrol (DES) but also the androgen dihydrotestosterone (DHT) resulted in GPER1-dependent induction of supernumerary centrosomes, whole chromosomal instability (w-CIN) and aneuploidy. Indeed, both knockdown and inhibition of GPER1 attenuated the generation of (xeno)hormone-driven supernumerary centrosomes and karyotype instability. Mechanistically, (xeno)hormone-induced centrosome amplification was associated with transient multipolar mitosis and the generation of so called anaphase “lagging” chromosomes. The results of this thesis propose a GPER1/PKA/AKAP9-pathway in regulating centrosome numbers in colorectal cancer cells and the involvement of the centriolar protein centrin. Remarkably, exposure to (xeno)hormones resulted in atypical enlargement and unexpected phosphorylation of the centriole marker centrin in interphase. These findings provide a novel role for GPER1 in key CRC-prone lesions and shed light on underlying mechanisms that involve GPER1 function in the colon. Elucidating to what extent centrosomal proteins are involved in the GPER1-mediated aneugenic effect will be an important task for future studies. The present study was intended to lay a first foundation to understand the molecular basis and potential risk factors of CRC which might help to reduce the use of laboratory animals. Since numerous animal experiments are conducted in biomedical research, the development of alternative methods is indispensable. The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) as the German Center for the Protection of Laboratory Animals (Bf3R) addresses this issue by uncovering underlying mechanisms leading to colorectal cancer as necessary prerequisite in order to develop alternative methods.
Photosynthesis converts light into metabolic energy which fuels plant growth. In nature, many factors influence light availability for photosynthesis on different time scales, from shading by leaves within seconds up to seasonal changes over months. Variability of light energy supply for photosynthesis can limit a plant´s biomass accumulation. Plants have evolved multiple strategies to cope with strongly fluctuation light (FL). These range from long-term optimization of leaf morphology and physiology and levels of pigments and proteins in a process called light acclimation, to rapid changes in protein activity within seconds. Therefore, uncovering how plants deal with FL on different time scales may provide key ideas for improving crop yield. Photosynthesis is not an isolated process but tightly integrates with metabolism through mutual regulatory interactions. We thus require mechanistic understanding of how long-term light acclimation shapes both, dynamic photosynthesis and its interactions with downstream metabolism. To approach this, we analyzed the influence of growth light on i) the function of known rapid photosynthesis regulators KEA3 and VCCN1 in dynamic photosynthesis (Chapter 2-3) and ii) the interconnection of photosynthesis with photorespiration (PR; Chapter 4).
We approached topic (i) by quantifying the effect of different growth light regimes on photosynthesis and photoprotection by using kea3 and vccn1 mutants. Firstly, we found that, besides photosynthetic capacity, the activities of VCCN1 and KEA3 during a sudden high light phase also correlated with growth light intensity. This finding suggests regulation of both proteins by the capacity of downstream metabolism. Secondly, we showed that KEA3 accelerated photoprotective non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) kinetics in two ways: Directly via downregulating the lumen proton concentration and thereby de-activating pH-dependent NPQ, and indirectly via suppressing accumulation of the photoprotective pigment zeaxanthin.
For topic (ii), we analyzed the role of PR, a process which recycles a toxic byproduct of the carbon fixation reactions, in metabolic flexibility in a dynamically changing light environment. For this we employed the mutants hpr1 and ggt1 with a partial block in PR. We characterized the function of PR during light acclimation by tracking molecular and physiological changes of the two mutants. Our data, in contrast to previous reports, disprove a generally stronger physiological relevance of PR under dynamic light conditions. Additionally, the two different mutants showed pronounced and distinct metabolic changes during acclimation to a condition inducing higher photosynthetic activity. This underlines that PR cannot be regarded purely as a cyclic detoxification pathway for 2PG. Instead, PR is highly interconnected with plant metabolism, with GGT1 and HPR1 representing distinct metabolic modulators.
In summary, the presented work provides further insight into how energetic and metabolic flexibility is ensured by short-term regulators and PR during long-term light acclimation.
The light reactions of photosynthesis are carried out by a series of multiprotein complexes embedded in thylakoid membranes. Among them, photosystem I (PSI), acting as plastocyanin-ferderoxin oxidoreductase, catalyzes the final reaction. Together with light-harvesting antenna I, PSI forms a high-molecular-weight supercomplex of ~600 kDa, consisting of eighteen subunits and nearly two hundred co-factors. Assembly of the various components into a functional thylakoid membrane complex requires precise coordination, which is provided by the assembly machinery. Although this includes a small number of proteins (PSI assembly factors) that have been shown to play a role in the formation of PSI, the process as a whole, as well as the intricacy of its members, remains largely unexplored.
In the present work, two approaches were used to find candidate PSI assembly factors. First, EnsembleNet was used to select proteins thought to be functionally related to known PSI assembly factors in Arabidopsis thaliana (approach I), and second, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) of tagged PSI assembly factors in Nicotiana tabacum was performed (approach II).
Here, the novel PSI assembly factors designated CO-EXPRESSED WITH PSI ASSEMBLY 1 (CEPA1) and Ycf4-INTERACTING PROTEIN 1 (Y4IP1) were identified. A. thaliana null mutants for CEPA1 and Y4IP1 showed a growth phenotype and pale leaves compared with the wild type. Biophysical experiments using pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) revealed insufficient electron transport on the PSII acceptor side. Biochemical analyses revealed that both CEPA1 and Y4IP1 are specifically involved in PSI accumulation in A. thaliana at the post-translational level but are not essential. Consistent with their roles as factors in the assembly of a thylakoid membrane protein complex, the two proteins localize to thylakoid membranes. Remarkably, cepa1 y4ip1 double mutants exhibited lethal phenotypes in early developmental stages under photoautotrophic growth. Finally, co-IP and native gel experiments supported a possible role for CEPA1 and Y4IP1 in mediating PSI assembly in conjunction with other PSI assembly factors (e.g., PPD1- and PSA3-CEPA1 and Ycf4-Y4IP1). The fact that CEPA1 and Y4IP1 are found exclusively in green algae and higher plants suggests eukaryote-specific functions. Although the specific mechanisms need further investigation, CEPA1 and Y4IP1 are two novel assembly factors that contribute to PSI formation.
The musculoskeletal system provides support and enables movement to the body, and its deterioration is a crucial aspect of age-related functional decline. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) play an important role in musculoskeletal homeostasis due to their broad differentiation potentials and their ability to support osteogenic and myogenic tissue maintenance and regeneration. In the bone, MSCs differentiate either into osteochondrogenic progenitors to form osteocytes and chondrocytes, or increasingly with age into adipogenic progenitors which give rise to bone-resident adipocytes. In skeletal muscle, during healthy regeneration MSCs provide regulatory signals that activate local, tissue-specific stem cells, known as satellite cells, which regenerate contractile myofibres. This process involves a significant cross-talk to immune cells stemming from both lymphoid and myeloid lineages. During ageing, muscle-resident MSCs undergo increased adipogenic lineage commitment, causing niche changes that contribute to fatty infiltration in muscles. These shifts in cell populations in bone lead to the loss of osteogenic cells and subsequently osteoporosis, or in muscle to impaired regeneration and to the development of sarcopenia. However, the signals that drive transition of MSCs into their respective cellular fates remain elusive.
This thesis aims to elucidate the transcriptional shifts modulating cell states and cell types in musculoskeletal MSC fate determination. Single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) was used to characterise cell type-specific transcript regulation. State-of-the-art bioinformatics tools were combined with different analytical platforms that include both droplet-based scRNA-seq for large heterogeneous populations, and microfluidics-based scRNA-seq to assess small, rare subpopulations. For each platform, distinct computational pipelines were established including filtering steps to exclude low-quality cells, and data visualisation was performed by dimensionality reduction. Downstream analysis included clustering, cell type annotation, and differential gene expression to investigate transcriptional states in defined cell types during ageing and injury in the muscle and bone. Finally, a novel tool to assess publication activities in defined areas of research for the identified marker genes was developed.
The results in the bone indicate that ageing MSCs increasingly commit towards an adipogenic fate at the expense of osteogenic specialisation. The data also suggests that significant cell population shifts of MSC-type fibro-adipogenic progenitors during muscle ageing underlie the pathologies observed in homeostatic and post-injury regenerative conditions. High-throughput visualisation of publication activity for candidate genes enabled more effective biological evaluation of scRNA-seq data. These results expose critical age-related changes in the stem cell niches of skeletal muscle and bone, highlight their respective sensitivity to nutrition and pathology, and elucidate novel factors that modulate stem cell-based regeneration. Targeting these processes might improve musculoskeletal health in the context of ageing and prevent the negative effects of pathological lineage determination.
