S-Adenosyl-L-Homocysteine Hydrolase Inhibition by a Synthetic Nicotinamide Cofactor Biomimetic
(2018-03-21)
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH) hydrolases (SAHases) are involved in the regulation of methylation reactions in many organisms and are thus crucial for numerous cellular functions. Consequently, their dysregulation is associated with severe health problems. The SAHase-catalyzed reaction is reversible and both directions depend on the redox activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a cofactor. Therefore, nicotinamide cofactor biomimetics (NCB) are a promising tool to modulate SAHase activity. In the ...

Lösungen linearer Polynomgleichungen in Funktionenkörpern und Uniformisierbarkeit von t-Moduln
(2018)
Bei abelschen t-Moduln über Funktionenkörpern, denen der Ring F_q[t] zugrunde liegt, spielt die Frage der Uniformisierbarkeit eine wichtige Rolle. In dieser Arbeit werden t-Moduln betrachtet, die durch
t = τ^2 + A τ+ θ
gegeben sind, wobei τ den q-Frobenius-Endomorphismus bezeichnet, A eine (d x d)-Matrix mit d = 2 ist und θ eine Unbestimmte über F_q ist, die als Skalar (der t entspricht) im Funktionenkörper F_q(( 1/θ )) aufgefasst wird.
Nach einem Satz von Anderson aus der grundlegenden Arbeit “t-motives” (1986) ...

Requirement of the Dynein-Adaptor Spindly for Mitotic and Post-Mitotic Functions in Drosophila
(2018-03-30)
Spindly was originally identified as a specific regulator of Dynein activity at the kinetochore. In early prometaphase, Spindly recruits the Dynein/Dynactin complex, promoting the establishment of stable kinetochore-microtubule interactions and progression into anaphase. While details of Spindly function in mitosis have been worked out in cultured human cells and in the C. elegans zygote, the function of Spindly within the context of an organism has not yet been addressed. Here, we present loss- and gain-of-function ...

Protein Phosphatase Sit4 Affects Lipid Droplet Synthesis and Soraphen A Resistance Independent of Its Role in Regulating Elongator Dependent tRNA Modification
(2018-07-11)
The protein phosphatase Sit4 has been shown to be required for lipogenesis and resistance against the acetyl-CoA carboxylase inhibitor soraphen A. Since Sit4 is also required for biosynthesis of Elongator dependent tRNA modifications such as 5-methoxycarbonylmethyluridine (mcm5U), we investigated the relevance of tRNA modifications in lipogenesis and soraphen A response. While sit4 and Elongator (elp3) mutants copy defects in mcm5U formation and stress sensitivity, they do not share soraphen A sensitivity and low ...

Extreme Ultraviolet to Visible Dispersed Single Photon Detection for Highly Sensitive Sensing of Fundamental Processes in Diverse Samples
(2018-05-23)
The detection of a single photon is the most sensitive method for sensing of photon emission. A common technique for single photon detection uses microchannel plate arrays combined with photocathodes and position sensitive anodes. Here, we report on the combination of such detectors with grating diffraction spectrometers, constituting a low-noise wavelength resolving photon spectroscopy apparatus with versatile applicability. We recapitulate the operation principle of such detectors and present the details of the ...

The Navier-Stokes equations with time discretisation and Lagrangian approximation
(2018)
In the present thesis, we combine the Navier-Stokes equations - which correspond to the so-called Eulerian representation of fluid flow - with the Lagrangian description of fluid flow.

Analysis of PDF expressing and light sensitive circadian pacemaker neurons in the cockroach Rhyparobia maderae
(2018)
Organismen auf der Erde entwickelten oszillierende endogene Uhren, welche zirkadiane Rhythmen in der Physiologie und im Verhalten steuern, die für Gesundheit, Überleben und die Organisation von täglichen Aufgaben (z. B. Lokomotion, Nahrungsaufnahme) essentiell sind. Die endogene Periode der zirkadianen Uhren ist mit dem 24-Stunden-Licht-Dunkel-Zyklus der aufgehenden und untergehenden Sonne synchronisiert. Ebenso wie alle anderen Organismen, besitzt auch die Madeira-Schabe Rhyparobia (syn. Leucophaea) maderae eine ...

Diversity of aphyllophoroid fungi from taxonomical and biogeographical perspectives
(2018)
Comprehensive knowledge of biodiversity is a prerequisite for its long-term conservation and sustainable use. Fungi play crucial roles in ecosystems and are among the species-richest organism groups on Earth. However, all aspects of their diversity remain underexplored.
In this study, we aimed to fill the gaps in occurrence data and taxonomy as well as in understanding spatial diversity patterns of aphyllophoroid fungi (non-gilled macroscopic Basidiomycota). We digitized and made openly accessible 4,041 records of ...

Rethinking the genus Hyphodontia s.l. (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) – investigations on a worldwide scope including new taxonomy, phylogeny, and identification keys
(2018-12)
The dissertation “Rethinking the genus Hyphodontia s.l. (Hymenochaetales, Basidiomycota) – investigations on a worldwide scope including new taxonomy, phylogeny, and identification keys” was elaborated by Janett Riebesehl in the Department of Ecology at the University of Kassel.
Changing the classification system of the fungal genus Hyphodontia s.l. to treat the species from the broad Hyphodontia s.l. concept by a division into other genera was continued. Hjortstam and Ryvarden (2002, 2009) began the concept, but ...
