Subject field(s)
  • Beekeeping
  • Animal Diseases
DEF

A contagiously transmitted infection of adult bees caused by multiplication of chronic paralysis virus (CPV) primarily in the brain, nerve ganglia and in the hind-gut epithelium, ... common disease of adult bees that has striking, well-defined symptoms characterised by trembling, flightless individuals crawling on the ground beneath the colony entrance.

CONT

Chronic bee paralysis is a rather unusual disease caused by a rather unusual virus. ... Paralysis is the only common viral disease of adult bees whose symptoms include both behavioural and physiological modifications: trembling and hair loss. The disease often affects the strong colonies of an apiary and thousands of dead individuals are then observed in front of the hives.

CONT

The chronic paralysis is an infectious and contagious disease of adult honey bees caused by the chronic bee paralysis virus(CBPV). [It] has been given a variety of names such as “hairless black syndrome”... and is the only common viral disease of adult bees that has well-described symptoms, which include abnormal trembling from wings and body. Some individuals become almost hairless and dark in appearance and suffer nibbling attacks from healthy bees of their colony. Affected bees become flightless, often crawling on the ground and on the stems of grass, sometimes in masses of thousands of individuals.

Maladie infectieuse et contagieuse des abeilles adultes [...], due au virus de la paralysie chronique [...], les principaux symptômes [...] sont des tremblements du corps et des ailes (mouvement de chorée), des abeilles malades qui [...] sont rejetées par les gardiennes devant la ruche (comportement de houspillage). Des tapis d’abeilles mortes dont certaines ont les ailes écartées (ailes en croix) se constituent.

CONT

Maladie noire. [...] Cette maladie atteint seulement l’abeille adulte et touche les tissus nerveux et du tube digestif. L’abeille perds ses poils, le corps est plus petit car ne s’alimente que peu ou pas. Les abeilles ont un aspect noir et se font sortir par les autres de la ruche.

Cette abondante synonymie est due aux grandes variations histologiques du DF. On décrit un éventail de tumeurs dont l'image histologique va du fibrome pur (composé de façon exclusive ou presque de fibroblastes et de faisceaux collagènes) à l'histiocytome pur (riche en cellules phagocytaires à l'aspect d'histiocytes), en passant par l'histiocytofibrome.

DEF

A hairless mouse with a mutant gene on chromosome 1, characterized by congenital absence of the thymus, reduction in number of T cells, inability to reject allogeneic or xenogeneic skin grafts, a deficient supply of immunoglobulins, antinuclear autoantibody, and glomerulonephritis. Such mice have proved a valuable tool for investigating the role of the thymus in the development of immune responses.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

A very original set of experiments carried out by the Unit of Molecular Biology of Gene Expression concerns another protein essential for mouse development that is also a transcription factor. This factor known as KBF2 or RBP-Jk is homologous to a Drosophila gene product, Su(H)(Suppressor of Hairless), which belongs to the Notch signal transduction cascade involved in regulating the competence of a cell to respond to specific developmental cues. A likely function of the Su(H) protein is to serve as an anchor on DNA for non DNA-binding transcriptional activators. This function is conserved in the Notch pathway : the activation of this transmembrane receptor likely involves a proteolytic cleavage step which releases its intracellular domain; following nuclear translocation, it activates its target genes by binding to the Su(H) protein, which is already bound to several sites in the target promoters.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
  • Biologie moléculaire
CONT

La protéine Su(H), impliquée dans l'activité de transmission de ce signal, semble capable de s'associer à la région intracellulaire de Notch. C'est un facteur de transcription qui se lie à certaines séquences localisées dans les promoteurs de plusieurs des gènes cibles de Notch.
