    Abstract Neurogenesis is a finely tuned process, which depends on the balanced execution of expression programs that regulate cellular differentiation and proliferation. Different molecular players ranging from transcription factors to chromatin modulators control these programs. Adding to the complexity, also non-coding (nc)RNAs take part in this process. Here we analyzed the function of the long non-coding (lnc)RNA Malat1 during neural embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation. We find that deletion of Malat1 leads to inhibition of proliferation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). Interestingly, this co-insides with an increase in the expression of miR-26 family members miR-26a and miR-26b in differentiating ESCs. Inactivation of miR-26a/b rescues the proliferative phenotype of Malat1 knockout (KO) cells and leads to accelerated neuronal differentiation of compound Malat1KO/mir-26KO ESCs. Together our work identifies a so far unknown interaction between Malat1 and miR-26 in the regulation of NPC proliferation and neuronal differentiation.

    Abstract In eukaryotic cells, the process of gene expression is confined to the nucleus and enabled by multisubunit RNA polymerases (RNAPs). Many viruses make use of the host cellular gene expression apparatus during infection, and hence transfer their genome at least transiently to the host nucleus. However, poxviruses have evolved a different strategy to propagate. Their double-stranded DNA genome is transcribed in the host cytoplasm by a virus-encoded RNAP (vRNAP), which is evolutionarily related to eukaryotic RNA polymerase II. In this Review, we highlight recent high-resolution structures of the poxviral transcription apparatus in different phases of action. These structures, along with biochemical data, now allow the definition of a comprehensive model of poxviral gene expression and its regulation.

    Abstract Artificial 1D and 2D lattices have emerged as a powerful platform for the emulation of lattice Hamiltonians, the fundamental study of collective many-body effects, and phenomena arising from non-trivial topology. Exciton-polaritons, bosonic part-light and part-matter quasiparticles, combine pronounced nonlinearities with the possibility of on-chip implementation. In this context, organic semiconductors embedded in microcavities have proven to be versatile candidates to study nonlinear many-body physics and bosonic condensation, and in contrast to most inorganic systems, they allow the use at ambient conditions since they host ultra-stable Frenkel excitons. A well-controlled, high-quality optical lattice is implemented that accommodates light-matter quasiparticles. The realized polariton graphene presents with excellent cavity quality factors, showing distinct signatures of Dirac cone and flatband dispersions as well as polariton lasing at room temperature. This is realized by filling coupled dielectric microcavities with the fluorescent protein mCherry. The emergence of a coherent polariton condensate at ambient conditions are demonstrated, taking advantage of coupling conditions as precise and controllable as in state-of-the-art inorganic semiconductor-based systems, without the limitations of e.g. lattice matching in epitaxial growth. This progress allows straightforward extension to more complex systems, such as the study of topological phenomena in 2D lattices including topological lasers and non-Hermitian optics.

    Abstract Members of the Poxviridae family are large double-stranded DNA viruses that replicate exclusively in the cytoplasm of their hosts. This goes in hand with a high level of independence from the host cell, which supports transcription and replication events only in the nucleus or in DNA-containing organelles. Consequently, virus specific, rather than cellular enzymes mediate most processes involving DNA replication and mRNA synthesis. Recent technological advances allowed a detailed functional and structural investigation of the transcription machinery of the prototypic poxvirus vaccinia. The DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP) at its core displays distinct similarities to eukaryotic RNAPs. Strong idiosyncrasies, however, are apparent for viral factors that are associated with the viral RNAP during mRNA production. We expect that future studies will unravel more key aspects of poxvirus gene expression, helping also the understanding of nuclear transcription mechanisms.

    Abstract The functional and structural characterization of macromolecular complexes requires protocols for their native isolation. Here, we describe a protocol for this task based on the recombinant poxvirus Vaccinia expressing tagged proteins of interest in infected cells. Tagged proteins and their interactors can then be isolated via affinity chromatography. The procedure is illustrated for the Vaccinia virus encoded multi-subunit RNA polymerase. Our protocol also allows the expression and isolation of heterologous proteins and hence is suitable for a broader application. For complete details on the use and execution of this profile, please refer to Grimm et al. (2019).
