Protein kinases play an important role in cellular signaling pathways and their dysregulation
leads to multiple diseases, making kinases prime drug targets. While more than 500 human …

Splicing of eukaryotic pre-mRNA is carried out by the spliceosome, which assembles
stepwise on each splicing substrate. This requires the concerted action of snRNPs and non-snRNP …

NF2 (moesin–ezrin–radixin-like [MERLIN] tumor suppressor) is frequently inactivated in
cancer, where its NF2 tumor suppressor functionality is tightly coupled to protein conformation. …

CD177 is a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol (GPI)-linked, neutrophil-specific glycoprotein that
in 3–5% of normal individuals is absent from all neutrophils. The molecular mechanism …

Dear Sir, Neutrophils play an important role for the elimination of pathogens during infections.
Neutropenia results either from enhanced peripheral neutrophil destruction or decreased …

In the past two decades, the study of oxygen-independent degradation of widely abundant
aromatic compounds in anaerobic bacteria has revealed numerous unprecedented …

In the anaerobic treatment of sulfate-containing wastewater, sulfate reduction interferes with
methanogenesis. Both mutualistic and competitive interactions between sulfate-reducing …

… Genetics, I would like to thank especially Stefanie Jehle and Dr. Jonathan Woodsmith for
the good times I spent in the Stelzl group. Stefanie Jehle did a great job in introducing me into …

Human modification of pristine habitats almost always leads to the local extinction of a
subset of the species present. This means that the ecosystem processes carried out by the …

… We extend our thanks to Martin Gräber, Stefanie Jehle, and Stephanie Häfner for experimental
support and fruitful discussions. We extend our thanks to Lothar Hennighausen (National …
