Functional Analysis of Src42A in embryonic epithelial morphogenesis of Drosophila melanogaster
(2023)
Src42A is one of the Src family kinases (SFKs) present in Drosophila melanogaster. In mammals there are 8 SFKs and so far, a loss of function analysis of SFKs were difficult to conduct due to their functional redundancy. In Drosophila, there are only two SFKs namely Src42A and Src64B, the former is essential for embryonic development and the latter is a non-essential gene. Since Src42A is supplied as a maternal component, the zygotic mutant were showing defects in later developmental stages, because the contribution ...

Functional analyses of Dph1•Dph2 in synthesis of diphthamide, a clinically relevant modification on eEF2
(2024)
Diphthamide is a unique post-translational modification of a conserved histidine on the eukaryotic translation elongation factor 2 (eEF2). During translation elongation, eEF2 induces translocation of codon-anticodon duplexes across the ribosomal decoding center. Diphthamide is involved in fine-tuning of this process by stabilizing the codon-anticodon duplex and maintaining reading frame accuracy. Initially, diphthamide was identified as the target for diphtheria toxin, enabling ADP-ribosylation of eEF2 and resulting ...

Spatio-temporal resolution studies on a highly compact ultrafast electron diffractometer
(2015)
Time-resolved diffraction with femtosecond electron pulses has become a promising technique to directly provide insights into photo induced primary dynamics at the atomic level in molecules and solids. Ultrashort pulse duration as well as extensive spatial coherence are desired, however, space charge effects complicate the bunching of multiple electrons in a single pulse.Weexperimentally investigate the interplay between spatial and temporal aspects of resolution limits in ultrafast electron diffraction (UED) on our ...

Towards the investigation of ultrafast dynamics in chiral systems using free-electron lasers
(2024)
Chiral molecules are life’s building blocks, making the study of their ultrafast processes a pursuit across various fundamental research fields. The results presented in this dissertation contain methodological, technical and scientific advancements that pave the way for future time-resolved, site-specific investigations into chiral photochemistry of randomly orientated molecules, using photoelectron circular dichroism and free-electron lasers. The high-repetitionrate free-electron lasers EuXFEL and FLASH2 will soon ...

The anatomy of velvet worms (Onychophora) as revealed by a multimethodological approach and three-dimensional reconstructions
(2024)
Onychophorans, or velvet worms, comprise a small group of worm-like, multi-legged terrestrial invertebrates. Since their discovery in 1826, these organisms have been investigated from different perspectives, particularly in the field of morphology—a discipline that provides the basis for functional and evolutionary inferences. Onychophorans are currently classified within Ecdysozoa (moulting animals) and form together with Tardigrada (water bears) and Arthropoda a clade named Panarthropoda. Therefore, onychophorans ...
