Genetically targeted cell disruption in Caenorhabditis elegans
Harbinder, S., Tavernarakis, Nektarios, Herndon, Laura A., Kinnell, Maud, Xu, Si Qun, Fire, Andrew, ...
The elimination of identified cells is a powerful tool for investigating development and system function. Here we report on genetically mediated cell disruption effected by the toxic Caenorhabditis...
Boutla, Alexandra, Kalantidis, Kriton, Tavernarakis, Nektarios, Tsagris, Mina, Tabler, Martin
The term ‘gene silencing’ refers to transcriptional and post-transcriptional control of gene expression. Related processes are found across kingdoms in plants and animals. We intended to test...
Winnier, Angela R., Meir, James Y.-J., Ross, Jennifer M., Tavernarakis, Nektarios, Driscoll, Monica, Ishihara, Takeshi, ...
The UNC-4 homeoprotein and the Groucho-like corepressor UNC-37 specify synaptic choice in the Caenorhabditis elegans motor neuron circuit. In unc-4 mutants, VA motor neurons are miswired with inputs...
Death by necrosis: Uncontrollable catastrophe, or is there order behind the chaos?
Syntichaki, Popi, Tavernarakis, Nektarios
Cells suffer necrotic death when exposed to extreme environmental conditions, adverse and excessive stimuli, or when deleterious mutations are encoded in their genetic material. Unlike apoptosis,...
The Genomes On Line Database (GOLD) v.2: a monitor of genome projects worldwide
Liolios, Konstantinos, Tavernarakis, Nektarios, Hugenholtz, Philip, Kyrpides, Nikos C.
The Genomes On Line Database (GOLD) is a web resource for comprehensive access to information regarding complete and ongoing genome sequencing projects worldwide. The database currently incorporates...

The role of synaptic ion channels in synaptic plasticity
Voglis, Giannis, Tavernarakis, Nektarios
The nervous system receives a large amount of information about the environment through elaborate sensory routes. Processing and integration of these wide-ranging inputs often results in long-term...
Lysosomal biogenesis and function is critical for necrotic cell death in Caenorhabditis elegans
Artal-Sanz, Marta, Samara, Chrysanthi, Syntichaki, Popi, Tavernarakis, Nektarios
Necrotic cell death is defined by distinctive morphological characteristics that are displayed by dying cells (Walker, N.I., B.V. Harmon, G.C. Gobe, and J.F. Kerr. 1988. Methods Achiev. Exp. Pathol....

Microarray analysis of the transcriptional response of C. elegans to four bacterial pathogens revealed that different infections trigger responses, some of which are common to all four pathogens,...
Functional and physical interaction between Bcl-XL and a BH3-like domain in Beclin-1
Maiuri, M Chiara, Le Toumelin, Gaëtane, Criollo, Alfredo, Rain, Jean-Christophe, Gautier, Fabien, Juin, Philippe, ...
The anti-apoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-XL bind and inhibit Beclin-1, an essential mediator of autophagy. Here, we demonstrate that this interaction involves a BH3 domain within Beclin-1 (residues...
