Hélène Cixous, visión y creación

Este libro constituye la primera recopilación de ensayos en español sobre la obra de Hélène Cixous, una de las escritoras y pensadoras francesas más valiosas del panorama actual. Nacida en Orán (Argelia) en el seno de una familia judía con ancestros españoles, la exclusión que vivió durante su infancia en la Argelia colonial y antisemita la condujo a rechazar cualquier asignación identitaria fija (sea como «mujer», como « judía» o como «feminista»), aunque ello no le ha impedido reflexionar sobre qué significan dichas identidades y comprometerse políticamente con diversas causas relacionadas con éstas. Desde finales de los años sesenta, Cixous ha publicado más de sesenta libros en el campo del ensayo, la ficción y el teatro, cuestionando las fronteras entre dichos géneros; su famoso texto «La risa de la Medusa» es una pieza fundamental de la teoría feminista y los estudios de género. En su variada obra, el tema de la visión y su aparente opuesto, la ceguera, representa una suerte de hilo conductor. Ver con Hélène Cixous incluye un texto inédito de la autora, y nueve ensayos redactados por especialistas de variadas procedencias geográficas i intelectuales (la filosofía, la estética, la crítica literaria, la traducción…), con el fin de ofrecer una visión rigurosa y al tiempo accesible de la riquísima obra de Hélène Cixous.

Positional bias of general and tissue-specific regulatory motifs in mouse gene promoters

Background: The arrangement of regulatory motifs in gene promoters, or promoterarchitecture, is the result of mutation and selection processes that have operated over manymillions of years. In mammals, tissue-specific transcriptional regulation is related to the presence ofspecific protein-interacting DNA motifs in gene promoters. However, little is known about therelative location and spacing of these motifs. To fill this gap, we have performed a systematic searchfor motifs that show significant bias at specific promoter locations in a large collection ofhousekeeping and tissue-specific genes.Results: We observe that promoters driving housekeeping gene expression are enriched inparticular motifs with strong positional bias, such as YY1, which are of little relevance in promotersdriving tissue-specific expression. We also identify a large number of motifs that show positionalbias in genes expressed in a highly tissue-specific manner. They include well-known tissue-specificmotifs, such as HNF1 and HNF4 motifs in liver, kidney and small intestine, or RFX motifs in testis,as well as many potentially novel regulatory motifs. Based on this analysis, we provide predictionsfor 559 tissue-specific motifs in mouse gene promoters.Conclusion: The study shows that motif positional bias is an important feature of mammalianproximal promoters and that it affects both general and tissue-specific motifs. Motif positionalconstraints define very distinct promoter architectures depending on breadth of expression andtype of tissue.

Evolution of the ferric reductase domain (FRD) superfamily: modularity, functional diversification, and signature motifs.

A heme-containing transmembrane ferric reductase domain (FRD) is found in bacterial and eukaryotic protein families, including ferric reductases (FRE), and NADPH oxidases (NOX). The aim of this study was to understand the phylogeny of the FRD superfamily. Bacteria contain FRD proteins consisting only of the ferric reductase domain, such as YedZ and short bFRE proteins. Full length FRE and NOX enzymes are mostly found in eukaryotic cells and all possess a dehydrogenase domain, allowing them to catalyze electron transfer from cytosolic NADPH to extracellular metal ions (FRE) or oxygen (NOX). Metazoa possess YedZ-related STEAP proteins, possibly derived from bacteria through horizontal gene transfer. Phylogenetic analyses suggests that FRE enzymes appeared early in evolution, followed by a transition towards EF-hand containing NOX enzymes (NOX5- and DUOX-like). An ancestral gene of the NOX(1-4) family probably lost the EF-hands and new regulatory mechanisms of increasing complexity evolved in this clade. Two signature motifs were identified: NOX enzymes are distinguished from FRE enzymes through a four amino acid motif spanning from transmembrane domain 3 (TM3) to TM4, and YedZ/STEAP proteins are identified by the replacement of the first canonical heme-spanning histidine by a highly conserved arginine. The FRD superfamily most likely originated in bacteria.

On the genera Allomachilis Silvestri, 1906, and Kuschelochilis Wygodzinsky, 1951 (Insecta: Microcoryphia)

The objective of this study was to revise the nominal, and only described, species of the genera Allomachilis Silvestri, 1906, from Australia, and Kuschelochilis Wygodzinsky, 1951, from Chile (Microcoryphia: Meinertellidae). The studied specimens came from the collections deposited in the: American Museum of Natural History (USA); Instituto di Entomologia Agraria dell'Università di Portici (Italy); South Australian Museum (Australia); Carmen Bach collection of the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (Spain); and the entomology collection of the Instituto de Investigação Científica Tropical (Portugal). The revision of the nominal species of the genera Allomachilis and Kuschelochilis allows to consider the Neotropical genus a junior synonym of the Australian one.
