During bacterial cell division, FtsZ -- a prokaryotic homologue of the eukaryotic protein tubulin -- polymerizes into treadmilling filaments that further organize into a cytoskeletal ring. In vitro, FtsZ filaments can form dynamic chiral assemblies. However, how the active and passive properties of individual filaments relate to these large-scale self-organized structures remains poorly understood. Here, we connect single filament properties with the mesoscopic scale by combining minimal active matter simulations and biochemical reconstitution experiments. We show that density and flexibility of active chiral filaments define their global order. At intermediate densities, curved, flexible filaments organize into chiral rings and polar bands. An effectively nematic organization dominates for high densities and for straight, mutant filaments with increased rigidity. Our predicted phase diagram captures these features quantitatively, demonstrating how the flexibility, density and chirality of active filaments affect their collective behaviour. Our findings shed light on the fundamental properties of active chiral matter and explain how treadmilling FtsZ filaments organize during bacterial cell division.

Complex I is the first and the largest enzyme of the respiratory chain which is essential for energy production. It couples the transfer of two electrons from NADH to ubiquinone with proton translocation across bacterial or inner mitochondrial membrane. The coupling mechanism between electron transfer and proton translocation is one of the biggest enigma in bioenergetics and structural biology. Even though the enzyme has been studied for decades, only recent technological advances in cryo-EM allowed its extensive structural investigation. \r\n\r\nComplex I from E.coli appears to be of special importance because it is a perfect model system with a rich mutant library, however the structure of the entire complex was unknown. In this thesis I have resolved structures of the minimal complex I version from E. coli in different states including reduced, inhibited, under reaction turnover and several others. Extensive structural analyses of these structures and comparison to structures from other species allowed to derive general features of conformational dynamics and propose a universal coupling mechanism. The mechanism is straightforward, robust and consistent with decades of experimental data available for complex I from different species. \r\n\r\nCyanobacterial NDH (cyanobacterial complex I) is a part of broad complex I superfamily and was studied as well in this thesis. It plays an important role in cyclic electron transfer (CET), during which electrons are cycled within PSI through ferredoxin and plastoquinone to generate proton gradient without NADPH production. Here, I solved structure of NDH and revealed additional state, which was not observed before. The novel “resting” state allowed to propose the mechanism of CET regulation. Moreover, conformational dynamics of NDH resembles one in complex I which suggest more broad universality of the proposed coupling mechanism.\r\n\r\nIn summary, results presented here helped to interpret decades of experimental data for complex I and contributed to fundamental mechanistic understanding of protein function.\r\n" acknowledged_ssus: - _id: EM-Fac alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Vladyslav full_name: Kravchuk, Vladyslav id: 4D62F2A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kravchuk orcid: 0000-0001-9523-9089 citation: ama: Kravchuk V.

For instance, embryonic\r\nstem cell cultures can recapitulate the hallmarks of gastrulation, i.e. break symmetry\r\nleading to germ layer formation and morphogenesis, in a very reduced environment.\r\nThis leads to questions on specific contributions of embryo-specific features, such as\r\nthe presence of extraembryonic tissues, which are inherently involved in gastrulation\r\nin the full embryonic context. To address this, we established zebrafish embryonic\r\nexplants without the extraembryonic yolk cell, an important player as a signaling\r\nsource and for morphogenesis during gastrulation, as a model of ex vivo development.\r\nWe found that dorsal-marginal determinants are required and sufficient in these\r\nexplants to form and pattern all three germ layers. However, formation of tissues,\r\nwhich require the highest Nodal-signaling levels, is variable, demonstrating a\r\ncontribution of extraembryonic tissues for reaching peak Nodal signaling levels.\r\nBlastoderm explants also undergo gastrulation-like axis elongation. We found that this\r\nelongation movement shows hallmarks of oriented mesendoderm cell intercalations\r\ntypically associated with dorsal tissues in the intact embryo. These are disrupted by\r\nuniform upregulation of BMP signaling activity and concomitant explant ventralization,\r\nsuggesting that tight spatial control of BMP signaling is a prerequisite for explant\r\nmorphogenesis. This control is achieved by Nodal signaling, which is critical for\r\neffectively downregulating BMP signaling in the mesendoderm, highlighting that Nodal\r\nsignaling is not only directly required for mesendoderm cell fate specification and\r\nmorphogenesis, but also by maintaining low levels of BMP signaling at the dorsal side.\r\nCollectively, we provide insights into the capacity and organization of signaling and\r\nmorphogenetic domains to recapitulate features of zebrafish gastrulation outside of\r\nthe full embryonic context." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Alexandra full_name: Schauer, Alexandra id: 30A536BA-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Schauer orcid: 0000-0001-7659-9142 citation: ama: 'Schauer A.

Accordingly, root systems adapt to maximize NO3− availability, a developmental regulation also involving the phytohormone auxin. Nonetheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying this regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we identify low-nitrate-resistant mutant (lonr) in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), whose root growth fails to adapt to low-NO3− conditions. lonr2 is defective in the high-affinity NO3− transporter NRT2.1. lonr2 (nrt2.1) mutants exhibit defects in polar auxin transport, and their low-NO3−-induced root phenotype depends on the PIN7 auxin exporter activity. NRT2.1 directly associates with PIN7 and antagonizes PIN7-mediated auxin efflux depending on NO3− levels. These results reveal a mechanism by which NRT2.1 in response to NO3− limitation directly regulates auxin transport activity and, thus, root growth. This adaptive mechanism contributes to the root developmental plasticity to help plants cope with changes in NO3− availability. acknowledgement: We are grateful to Caifu Jiang for providing ethyl metha-nesulfonate- mutagenized population, Yi Wang for providing Xenopus oocytes, Jun Fan and Zhaosheng Kong for providing tobacco BY- 2 cells, and Claus Schwechheimer, Alain Gojon, and Shutang Tan for helpful discussions.

My work involved an in-depth examination of\r\nthe complex strategies employed by neutrophils, with a specific focus on their ability to\r\nsynchronize spatial-temporal cues and optimize their gradient perception. However, it\r\nis essential to acknowledge that not all projects yielded successful results, as some\r\nideas were discontinued and are archived for future reference within this thesis.\r\nMy main project investigated how neutrophils decode spatial cues for precise navigation. Human neutrophils showcased distinct movement patterns based on source\r\ntype – linear or point-like. By combining single-cell tracking in 3D environments with\r\nproxy dyes, this project linked cell behaviors to gradient changes, revealing a stronger\r\nresponse to semi-exponential gradients from point sources. In addition, neutrophils\r\nexhibited oscillating migration speeds, using speed minima to adjust trajectories toward sources. Experiencing continuous concentration changes, they accelerated over\r\ntime and employed a \"Run and Fumble\" strategy, alternating between consistent runs\r\nand strategic \"tumbles\" for efficient navigation.\r\nThe project extended to the possibility of cells amplifying perceived gradients by\r\nenclosing their immediate surroundings, pushing attractants forward for enrichment\r\nwhile depleting it at the cell rear. Microfluidic devices were employed, and various experimental parameters configurations were optimized. Although significant differences\r\nin migratory efficacy were detected across pore sizes and device heights, quantifying\r\ngradient manipulation effects proved challenging.\r\nThe \"Laser-Assisted Protein Adsorption by Photobleaching\" (LAPAP) project was\r\npromising, as it allowed the printing of gradients. Initially successful with dendritic cells,\r\nwe aimed to adapt it for neutrophils. Through extensive experimentation with multiple\r\nparameters, we attempted to trigger responses from neutrophils. Despite these efforts\r\nand collaboration, the project failed due to practical challenges and limitations.\r\nFacing a lack of neutrophil-like cells at IST, we initially established the SCF-HoxB8\r\nprimary murine cell line. Despite their existence, their migratory behavior was largely\r\nunexplored due to potential limitations. Through differentiation protocol refinements we\r\nenhanced their migratory capabilities, though their capacity still lagged behind human\r\nneutrophils. Despite this, the improved migration potential of these cells pointed toward\r\ntheir utility for in vitro murine neutrophil migration studies." acknowledged_ssus: - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Julian A full_name: Stopp, Julian A id: 489E3F00-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Stopp citation: ama: 'Stopp JA.

We identify a curvature-sensing mechanism underlying obstacle evasion in immune-like cells. Specifically, we propose that actin polymerization at the advancing edge of migrating cells is inhibited by the curvature-sensitive BAR domain protein Snx33 in regions with inward plasma membrane curvature. The genetic perturbation of this machinery reduces the cells’ capacity to evade obstructions combined with faster and more persistent cell migration in obstacle-free environments. Our results show how cells can read out their surface topography and utilize actin and plasma membrane biophysics to interpret their environment, allowing them to adaptively decide if they should move ahead or turn away. On the basis of our findings, we propose that the natural diversity of BAR domain proteins may allow cells to tune their curvature sensing machinery to match the shape characteristics in their environment. acknowledgement: "We thank Jan Ellenberg, Leanne Strauss, Anusha Gopalan, and Jia Hui Li for critical feedback on the manuscript and the Life Science Editors for editing assistance.

Such changes result from tension dynamics at cell contacts or cellular jamming. Yet, in many cases, the cellular mechanisms controlling the physical state of growing tissues are unclear. We found that at early developmental stages, the epithelium in the developing mouse spinal cord maintains both high junctional tension and high fluidity. This is achieved via a mechanism in which interkinetic nuclear movements generate cell area dynamics that drive extensive cell rearrangements. Over time, the cell proliferation rate declines, effectively solidifying the tissue. Thus, unlike well-studied jamming transitions, the solidification uncovered here resembles a glass transition that depends on the dynamical stresses generated by proliferation and differentiation. Our finding that the fluidity of developing epithelia is linked to interkinetic nuclear movements and the dynamics of growth is likely to be relevant to multiple developing tissues. acknowledgement: 'We thank S.

Distinct cellular processes such as cell division and cell rearrangements underlie tissue morphogenesis. Yet how the distinct processes are controlled and coordinated, and how they contribute to morphogenesis is poorly understood. In our study, we addressed these questions using the developing mouse neural tube. This epithelial organ transforms from a flat epithelial sheet to an epithelial tube while increasing in size and undergoing morpho-gen-mediated patterning. The extent and mechanism of neural progenitor rearrangement within the developing mouse neuroepithelium is unknown. To investigate this, we per-formed high resolution lineage tracing analysis to quantify the extent of epithelial rear-rangement at different stages of neural tube development. We quantitatively described the relationship between apical cell size with cell cycle dependent interkinetic nuclear migra-tions (IKNM) and performed high cellular resolution live imaging of the neuroepithelium to study the dynamics of junctional remodeling. Furthermore, developed a vertex model of the neuroepithelium to investigate the quantitative contribution of cell proliferation, cell differentiation and mechanical properties to the epithelial rearrangement dynamics and validated the model predictions through functional experiments. Our analysis revealed that at early developmental stages, the apical cell area kinetics driven by IKNM induce high lev-els of cell rearrangements in a regime of high junctional tension and contractility. After E9.5, there is a sharp decline in the extent of cell rearrangements, suggesting that the epi-thelium transitions from a fluid-like to a solid-like state. We found that this transition is regulated by the growth rate of the tissue, rather than by changes in cell-cell adhesion and contractile forces. Overall, our study provides a quantitative description of the relationship between tissue growth, cell cycle dynamics, epithelia rearrangements and the emergent tissue material properties, and novel insights on how epithelial cell dynamics influences tissue morphogenesis. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: LifeSc alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Laura full_name: Bocanegra, Laura id: 4896F754-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bocanegra citation: ama: Bocanegra L.

However, their fundamental limits, the performance of gradient methods and the features learnt during optimization remain poorly understood, even in the two-layer setting. In fact, earlier work has considered either linear autoencoders or specific training regimes (leading to vanishing or diverging compression rates). Our paper addresses this gap by focusing on non-linear two-layer autoencoders trained in the challenging proportional regime in which the input dimension scales linearly with the size of the representation. Our results characterize the minimizers of the population risk, and show that such minimizers are achieved by gradient methods; their structure is also unveiled, thus leading to a concise description of the features obtained via training. For the special case of a sign activation function, our analysis establishes the fundamental limits for the lossy compression of Gaussian sources via (shallow) autoencoders. Finally, while the results are proved for Gaussian data, numerical simulations on standard datasets display the universality of the theoretical predictions. acknowledgement: Aleksandr Shevchenko, Kevin Kogler and Marco Mondelli are supported by the 2019 Lopez-Loreta Prize.

In addition to patterning, morphogens also control tissue growth. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We studied the role of morphogens in regulating tissue growth in the developing vertebrate neural tube. In this system, opposing morphogen gradients of Shh and BMP establish the dorsoventral pattern of neural progenitor domains. Perturbations in these morphogen pathways result in alterations in tissue growth and cell cycle progression, however, it has been unclear what cellular process is affected. To address this, we analysed the rates of cell proliferation and cell death in mouse mutants in which signaling is perturbed, as well as in chick neural plate explants exposed to defined concentrations of signaling activators or inhibitors. Our results indicated that the rate of cell proliferation was not altered in these assays. By contrast, both the Shh and BMP signaling pathways had profound effects on neural progenitor survival. Our results indicate that these pathways synergise to promote cell survival within neural progenitors. Consistent with this, we found that progenitors within the intermediate region of the neural tube, where the combined levels of Shh and BMP are the lowest, are most prone to cell death when signaling activity is inhibited. In addition, we found that downregulation of Shh results in increased apoptosis within the roof plate, which is the dorsal source of BMP ligand production. This revealed a cross-interaction between the Shh and BMP morphogen signaling pathways that may be relevant for understanding how gradients scale in neural tubes with different overall sizes. We further studied the mechanism acting downstream of Shh in cell survival regulation using genetic and genomic approaches. We propose that Shh transcriptionally regulates a non-canonical apoptotic pathway. Altogether, our study points to a novel role of opposing morphogen gradients in tissue size regulation and provides new insights into complex interactions between Shh and BMP signaling gradients in the neural tube. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: Bio - _id: PreCl alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Katarzyna full_name: Kuzmicz-Kowalska, Katarzyna id: 4CED352A-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kuzmicz-Kowalska citation: ama: Kuzmicz-Kowalska K.

Evolutionary pathways are neither directed nor deterministic, but rather an interplay between selection, migration, mutation, genetic drift and other environmental factors. Hybrid zones, as natural crossing experiments, offer a great opportunity to use cline analysis to deduce different evolutionary processes - for example, selection strength. Theoretical cline models, largely assuming uniform distribution of individuals, often lack the capability of incorporating population structure. Since in reality organisms mostly live in patchy distributions and their dispersal is hardly ever Gaussian, it is necessary to unravel the effect of these different elements of population structure on cline parameters and shape. In this thesis, I develop a simulation inspired by the A. majus hybrid zone of a single selected locus under frequency dependent selection. This simulation enables us to untangle the effects of different elements of population structure as for example a low-density center and long-range dispersal. This thesis is therefore a first step towards theoretically untangling the effects of different elements of population structure on cline parameters and shape.

These capabilities are made possible thanks to a variety of\r\nchanges in the brain throughout adulthood, regrouped under the term \"plasticity\". Some cells\r\nin the brain —neurons— and specifically changes in the connections between neurons, the\r\nsynapses, were shown to be crucial for the formation, selection, and consolidation of memories\r\nfrom past experiences. These ongoing changes of synapses across time are called synaptic\r\nplasticity. Understanding how a myriad of biochemical processes operating at individual\r\nsynapses can somehow work in concert to give rise to meaningful changes in behavior is a\r\nfascinating problem and an active area of research.\r\nHowever, the experimental search for the precise plasticity mechanisms at play in the brain\r\nis daunting, as it is difficult to control and observe synapses during learning. Theoretical\r\napproaches have thus been the default method to probe the plasticity-behavior connection. Such\r\nstudies attempt to extract unifying principles across synapses and model all observed synaptic\r\nchanges using plasticity rules: equations that govern the evolution of synaptic strengths across\r\ntime in neuronal network models. These rules can use many relevant quantities to determine\r\nthe magnitude of synaptic changes, such as the precise timings of pre- and postsynaptic\r\naction potentials, the recent neuronal activity levels, the state of neighboring synapses, etc.\r\nHowever, analytical studies rely heavily on human intuition and are forced to make simplifying\r\nassumptions about plasticity rules.\r\nIn this thesis, we aim to assist and augment human intuition in this search for plasticity rules.\r\nWe explore whether a numerical approach could automatically discover the plasticity rules\r\nthat elicit desired behaviors in large networks of interconnected neurons. This approach is\r\ndubbed meta-learning synaptic plasticity: learning plasticity rules which themselves will make\r\nneuronal networks learn how to solve a desired task. We first write all the potential plasticity\r\nmechanisms to consider using a single expression with adjustable parameters. We then optimize\r\nthese plasticity parameters using evolutionary strategies or Bayesian inference on tasks known\r\nto involve synaptic plasticity, such as familiarity detection and network stabilization.\r\nWe show that these automated approaches are powerful tools, able to complement established\r\nanalytical methods. By comprehensively screening plasticity rules at all synapse types in\r\nrealistic, spiking neuronal network models, we discover entire sets of degenerate plausible\r\nplasticity rules that reliably elicit memory-related behaviors. Our approaches allow for more\r\nrobust experimental predictions, by abstracting out the idiosyncrasies of individual plasticity\r\nrules, and provide fresh insights on synaptic plasticity in spiking network models.\r\n" alternative_title: - ISTA Thesis article_processing_charge: No author: - first_name: Basile J full_name: Confavreux, Basile J id: C7610134-B532-11EA-BD9F-F5753DDC885E last_name: Confavreux citation: ama: 'Confavreux BJ.

Using a novel statistical estimator and theoretical modeling, both developed in the framework of maximum entropy models, we reveal highly structured CA1 cell-cell interactions in male rats during open field exploration. The statistics of these interactions depend on whether the animal is in a familiar or novel environment. In both conditions the circuit interactions optimize the encoding of spatial information, but for regimes that differ in the informativeness of their spatial inputs. This structure facilitates linear decodability, making the information easy to read out by downstream circuits. Overall, our findings suggest that the efficient coding hypothesis is not only applicable to individual neuron properties in the sensory periphery, but also to neural interactions in the central brain. acknowledgement: M.N. was supported by the European Union Horizon 2020 Grant 665385.

We present an all-analog phase bias locking scheme where error signals are obtained from the beat between the optical carrier and optical tones generated by an auxiliary 2 MHz \U0001D445\U0001D439 tone to lock the phases of all three involved interferometers for operation up to 10 GHz. With the developed method, we demonstrate an I/Q modulator in carrier-suppressed single-sideband mode, where the suppressed carrier and sideband are locked at optical power levels <−27dB\r\n relative to the transmitted sideband. We describe a simple analytical model for calculating the error signals and detail the implementation of the electronic circuitry for the implementation of the method." acknowledgement: We thank Jakob Vorlaufer for technical contributions and Vyacheslav Li and Sofia Agafonova for comments on the manuscript. article_processing_charge: No article_type: original arxiv: 1 author: - first_name: Sebastian full_name: Wald, Sebastian id: 133F200A-B015-11E9-AD41-0EDAE5697425 last_name: Wald orcid: 0000-0002-5869-1604 - first_name: Fritz R full_name: Diorico, Fritz R id: 2E054C4C-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Diorico orcid: 0000-0002-4947-8924 - first_name: Onur full_name: Hosten, Onur id: 4C02D85E-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Hosten orcid: 0000-0002-2031-204X citation: ama: Wald S, Diorico FR, Hosten O.

It remains unknown whether these non-uniformities are reflected in the large-scale organization of the early visual system and what benefits such adaptations would confer. Here, by relying on the efficient coding hypothesis, we predict that changes in the structure of receptive fields across visual space increase the efficiency of sensory coding. We show experimentally that, in agreement with our predictions, receptive fields of retinal ganglion cells change their shape along the dorsoventral retinal axis, with a marked surround asymmetry at the visual horizon. Our work demonstrates that, according to principles of efficient coding, the panoramic structure of natural scenes is exploited by the retina across space and cell-types. acknowledged_ssus: - _id: ScienComp - _id: PreCl - _id: LifeSc - _id: Bio acknowledgement: We thank Hiroki Asari for sharing the dataset of naturalistic images, Anton Sumser for sharing visual stimulus code, Yoav Ben Simon for initial explorative work with the generation of AAVs, and Tomas Vega-Zuñiga for help with immunostainings.

lang: eng text: Recent quantum technologies have established precise quantum control of various microscopic systems using electromagnetic waves. Interfaces based on cryogenic cavity electro-optic systems are particularly promising, due to the direct interaction between microwave and optical fields in the quantum regime. Quantum optical control of superconducting microwave circuits has been precluded so far due to the weak electro-optical coupling as well as quasi-particles induced by the pump laser. Here we report the coherent control of a superconducting microwave cavity using laser pulses in a multimode electro-optical device at millikelvin temperature with near-unity cooperativity. Both the stationary and instantaneous responses of the microwave and optical modes comply with the coherent electro-optical interaction, and reveal only minuscule amount of excess back-action with an unanticipated time delay. Our demonstration enables wide ranges of applications beyond quantum transductions, from squeezing and quantum non-demolition measurements of microwave fields, to entanglement generation and hybrid quantum networks. acknowledgement: This work was supported by the European Research Council under grant agreement no. 758053 (ERC StG QUNNECT), the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement no. 899354 (FETopen SuperQuLAN), and the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) through BeyondC (F7105).

Classical data centers rely on fiber-optic interconnects to remove similar networking bottlenecks and to allow for reconfigurable, software-defined infrastructures. In the same spirit, ultra-cold electro-optic links have been proposed and used to generate qubit control signals, or to replace cryogenic readout electronics. So far, the latter suffered from either low efficiency, low bandwidth and the need for additional microwave drives, or breaking of Cooper pairs and qubit states. In this work we realize electro-optic microwave photonics at millikelvin temperatures to implement a radio-over-fiber qubit readout that does not require any active or passive cryogenic microwave equipment. We demonstrate all-optical single-shot-readout by means of the Jaynes-Cummings nonlinearity in a circulator-free readout scheme. Importantly, we do not observe any direct radiation impact on the qubit state as verified with high-fidelity quantum-non-demolition measurements despite the absence of shielding elements. This compatibility between superconducting circuits and telecom wavelength light is not only a prerequisite to establish modular quantum networks, it is also relevant for multiplexed readout of superconducting photon detectors and classical superconducting logic. Moreover, this experiment showcases the potential of electro-optic radiometry in harsh environments - an electronics-free sensing principle that extends into the THz regime with applications in radio astronomy, planetary missions and earth observation. acknowledgement: "We thank F.
