Regulace genové exprese na posttranskripčních úrovních. / Regulation of gene expression at posttranscriptional levels.

Regulation of gene expression in response to cellular and organismal needs is essential for sustaining organisms' survival and successful competition in the evolution of life forms. This regulation is executed at multiple levels starting with regulation of gene transcription, followed by regulation at multiple posttranscriptional levels. In this thesis, I focused on posttranscriptional mechanisms that contribute to gene expression regulation in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans which enables powerful genetic and genomic techniques and allows the visualization of experimental genetic manipulations in toto, on the level of the complete organism during its life span. For this, we analysed the function of the orthologue of mammalian transcriptional corepressor NCOR, GEI-8. We used a functionally defective mutant gei-8(ok1671). I analysed the whole genome expression of homozygous gei- 8(ok1671) mutant and its link with observed mutant phenotype that includes defective gonad development and sterility and performed experiments leading to the proposition that disbalances in 21-U RNAs of piRNA class present in the most derepressed gene, the predicted mitochondrial sulfide:quinine reductase encoded by Y9C9A.16, are associated with the gonadal phenotype. In the second part of the thesis, I focused on...
