Role of the SMN complex in snRNP biogenesis
Hanušková, Klára ; Staněk, David (advisor) ; Šubrtová, Adriána (referee)
Small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (snRNPs) are an essential component of the spliceosome, a dynamic protein complex that mediates RNA splicing. These particles are composed of a single small nuclear RNA, from which they take their name, a ring of seven Sm or LSm proteins and other accessory proteins. All snRNPs undergo a complex maturation pathway, taking place in the nucleus and cytoplasm of the cell. One important factor in snRNP biogenesis is the SMN complex, which is composed of the SMN, Gemin2-8 and Unrip proteins. Its most important function is to mediate the assembly of the Sm core domain in the cytoplasm of the cell, with the help of the PRMT5 complex. Furthermore, the SMN complex is also involved in snRNA modification, import of the snRNP core, or assembly of the spliceosome itself. Despite more than two decades of research, some of the functions of the SMN complex and its particles have not been fully revealed, and thus it is not clear from the cell to what extent this complex influences not only snRNP biogenesis but also the entire spliceosome. The aim of this work, according to the available research, is to describe the SMN complex in more depth and to understand its functions in snRNP particle biogenesis. Key words: SMN complex, snRNP, snRNA, Sm protein, spliceosome

Derivatives of boronic acids as potential drugs I.
Koucká, Kateřina ; Kučerová, Marta (advisor) ; Zitko, Jan (referee)
Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Pharmaceutical Analysis Student: Kateřina Koucká Supervisor: PharmDr. Marta Kučerová, Ph.D. Consultant: PharmDr. Petr Šlechta Title of diploma thesis: Derivatives of boronic acids as potential drugs I. The thesis includes the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of boronic acid derivatives. These derivatives were prepared as hybrid compounds containing an amide linker, combining mainly pyrazinoic acids with 4-aminophenylboronic acid. Pyrazinamide is used as 1st line antituberculosis drug and 4-aminophenylboronic acid is a bioisoster of 4-aminobenzoic acid, which is a crucial precursor in the folate pathway. Bioisosteric replacement of the carboxylic group with boronic acid could afford the ability of the compounds to form a reversible covalent bond toward a potential biological target. The presented compounds were synthesized in a two-step reaction. The first step was the condensation of 4-aminophenylboronic acid pinacol ester with different derivatives of (hetero)aryl carboxylic acids, that underwent previous activation. The second step was the deprotection of boronic acid pinacol ester to obtain free boronic acids derivatives. The obtained compounds were screened for their in vitro...

Legal position of a child and registered partners within the framework of foster care Abstract The aim of this diploma theses is to analyse the legal position of a child and registered partners within the framework of foster care and to reply to the question whether the current legal regulation of foster care ought to be altered in favour of registered partners. The first chapter of the theses provides with the explanation of terms family and parenthood and closely deals with legal duties and rights of parents and children. It defines the constitutionally guaranteed right to family life of a child and registered partners and development of judicature concerning this issue. And this chapter also defines the crucial term of the best interests of the child. The second chapter focuses on the legal institute of registered partnership. It deals with the legal regulation and its development, the development of the legal regulation in the European countries, especially in Germany. This chapter also analyses the issue of discrimination and unequal legal position of registered partners compared to spouses. Subsequently both institutes, registered partnership and matrimony, was compared. The third chapter is fundamental. It focuses on particular forms of foster care with respect to the purpose of the legal regulation....

Molecular mechanisms of heat stress memory in plants
Zelená, Julie ; Hála, Michal (advisor) ; Konrádová, Hana (referee)
Global warming is one of the main factors contributing to the decline in crop yield and overall plant biodiversity. Increasing surface temperatures of the Earth result in heightened demands on plant to cope with heat stress. Heat stress causes various damages to plants, primarily denaturation of cellular proteins, loosening of biomembranes, and accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Plants cells defend against heat stress through lipid remodeling of membranes, increased production of ROS scavengers, and primarily increased production of heat shock proteins (HSP), which are molecular chaperons maintaining proteins properly folded even at temperatures that would otherwise cause denaturation. Plants have developed mechanism to cope with recurring heat stress, such as heat waves, that is referred to as acquired thermotolerance and is enabled by the plant's ability to undergo stress memory. Key to stress memory is priming, which involves preparing the plant for very strong heat stress by exposing it to milder heat stress beforehand. Following priming, there comes a memory period, that is also called recovery period, during which the cell maintains altered molecular expression and physiology. The mechanisms of heat stress memory are divided into transcriptional and post- transcriptional,...

André Gide, engaged writer
Poppr, Martin ; Jamek, Václav (advisor) ; Voldřichová - Beránková, Eva (referee)
André Gide, an engaged writer Bc. Martin Poppr The French author André Gide (1869 - 1951) was one of the most important writers of the end of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth century and an important figure of the public intellectual life. This thesis analyses to what extent André Gide was a politically and socially engaged author and the reach of his work beyond the world of literature. The method used in this work is a literary critical analysis focused on the author's personality as the key factor for the interpretation of his work. The initial and second part of the thesis summaries the concept of engaged literature developed by Jean-Paul Sartre in his study "Qu'est-ce que la littérature?" and mentions examples of other engaged writers. In this framework, the thesis also deals with the general question of "What is literature?". The third part of the thesis describes the life of André Gide and presents Gide's works which fall under the definition of engaged literature. These include works celebrating human freedom and ethics which attempt to foster the reader's strength and courage, but also Gide's autobiographic works, in which the author himself serves as an honest and liberated role model. This section also covers Gide's participation in the "Dreyfus affair" and in the...

The influence of roots on the chemical properties of the apoplast and the rhizosphere
Puldová, Kristýna ; Fendrych, Matyáš (advisor) ; Šámalová, Markéta (referee)
Chemical properties of the apoplast and rhizosphere are crucial for plant development and its overall well-being. Apoplast includes space outside the plasma membrane and its content, such as gas, water, and solutes. Changes in apoplast properties significantly influence various processes. One of them is cellular growth - the pH-dependent extension of cell walls. The rhizosphere is the soil environment near and under the influence of roots. It is characterised by abiotic factors like the availability of nutrients and toxic compounds. It is also a space with a high representation of microbiome communities. Plants can significantly influence the chemical properties of both apoplast and rhizosphere to improve their growth conditions. This thesis summarises the most important mechanisms of plants' roots that change these chemical properties, focusing on the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. It shows how and where these mechanisms intersect and in which way they influence each other. Emphasis is placed on the process of growth regulation and mechanisms of increasing nutrient availability. Keywords: apoplast, rhizosphere, H+ ATPase, root growth, rhizodeposition, root exudates, nutrients, microbiome
