The adaptive molecular landscape of reprogrammed telomeric sequences
Abstract Telomeric sequences vary across the tree of life and intimately co-evolve with telomere-binding protein complexes. However, the molecular mechanisms allowing organisms to adapt to new telomeric sequences are difficult to gauge from extant species. Here, we engineer multiple yeast lines to human-like telomeric repeats to unveil their molecular and fitness response to reprogrammed telomeres.
Noncatalytic telomerase function in inflammation - Nature Cell Biology
Whether the telomerase protein TERT has moonlighting functions by acting catalytically in telomere elongation and non-catalytically in extratelomeric functions has long been debated. A study now demonstrates that TERT can regulate physiological levels of inflammatory signals independently of its catalytic functions. Enjoying our latest content?
The double-edged sword of eliminating senescent cells - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology
Most of the therapeutic agents currently in development to combat ageing-related pathologies target senescent cells (senotherapy). A publication by Baker et al. in 2016 was an inspiring proof-of-principle of the anti-ageing effects of eliminating senescent cells, showing that, in mice, selective elimination of cells expressing the senescence marker p16INK4A (also known as CDKN2A) increased the healthspan of the mice.
A homoeostatic switch causing glycerol-3-phosphate and phosphoethanolamine accumulation triggers senescence by rewiring lipid metabolism - Nature Metabolism
Abstract Cellular senescence affects many physiological and pathological processes and is characterized by durable cell cycle arrest, an inflammatory secretory phenotype and metabolic reprogramming.
Different environmental response strategies in sympatric corals from Pacific Islands - Communications Earth & Environment
|
Abstract Coral reefs are severely threatened by global and local environmental changes. However, susceptibility to perturbations and subsequent mortality varies among coral species. In this study, we tested the contribution of genetic and environmental conditions to coral’s phenotypic response in Pocillopora spp. and Porites spp. sampled together at a large ecological and temporal scale throughout the Pacific Ocean.

Multi-omics determination of metabolome diversity in natural coral populations in the Pacific Ocean - Communications Earth & Environment
|
Abstract Coral reefs are considered one of the most emblematic ecosystems in our oceans, but their existence is increasingly threatened by climate change. In this study, natural populations of two reef-building coral genera, Pocillopora spp. and Porites spp., and one hydrocoral Millepora cf. platyphylla from two different marine provinces in the Pacific Ocean were investigated using a multi-omics approach as part of the Tara Pacific expedition.

Host transcriptomic plasticity and photosymbiotic fidelity underpin Pocillopora acclimatization across thermal regimes in the Pacific Ocean - Nature Communications
|
Site selection, coral colony sampling, and environmental metadata collection A total of 102 Pocillopora spp. colonies from 32 reef sites across 11 islands (Islas de las Perlas, Coiba, Malpelo, Rapa Nui, Ducie, Gambier, Moorea, Aitutaki, Niue, Upolu, and Guam) were sampled as part of the Tara Pacific expedition26. At each island, fragments of three coral colonies were collected from each of three reef sites yielding a total of ca. 9 colonies sampled per island (Supplementary Data 13).

Ecology of Endozoicomonadaceae in three coral genera across the Pacific Ocean - Nature Communications
|
Abstract Health and resilience of the coral holobiont depend on diverse bacterial communities often dominated by key marine symbionts of the Endozoicomonadaceae family. The factors controlling their distribution and their functional diversity remain, however, poorly known. Here, we study the ecology of Endozoicomonadaceae at an ocean basin-scale by sampling specimens from three coral genera (Pocillopora, Porites, Millepora) on 99 reefs from 32 islands across the Pacific Ocean.

Diversity of the Pacific Ocean coral reef microbiome - Nature Communications
|
Abstract Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. They support high biodiversity of multicellular organisms that strongly rely on associated microorganisms for health and nutrition. However, the extent of the coral reef microbiome diversity and its distribution at the oceanic basin-scale remains to be explored.

Integrative omics framework for characterization of coral reef ecosystems from the Tara Pacific expedition - Scientific Data
|
Sample and experiments information management An in-house LIMS called NGL (Next Generation LIMS) was developed to answer the need for collecting, associating, and perusing the substantial amount of data associated with each sample. NGL allows linking the metadata of each sample with information added from its collection to the submission of the sequencing files at the EMBL-EBI.

Endogenous viral elements reveal associations between a non-retroviral RNA virus and symbiotic dinoflagellate genomes - Communications Biology
|
Abstract Endogenous viral elements (EVEs) offer insight into the evolutionary histories and hosts of contemporary viruses. This study leveraged DNA metagenomics and genomics to detect and infer the host of a non-retroviral dinoflagellate-infecting +ssRNA virus (dinoRNAV) common in coral reefs.

Heterochromatin replication goes hand in hand with telomere protection
Abstract Telomeres arose from the need to stabilize natural chromosome ends, resulting in terminal chromatin structures with specific protective functions. Their constituent proteins also execute general functions within heterochromatin, mediating late replication and facilitating fork progression. Emerging insights into the mechanisms governing heterochromatin replication suggest telomeres and heterochromatin act in concert during development and aging.
