How the czech music magazines contributed to the process of comercionalization of electronic dance music?
Vacek, Vojtěch ; Hroch, Miloš (advisor) ; Groman, Martin (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the role of a printed music media in the process of commercialization of electronic dance music in the Czech Republic in the early 2000s. The research is based on the theoretical approach of subcultural studies, more specifically on the Chicago school. The theoretical part is focused on the definition of terms such as subculture, moral panic, subcultural capital and commercialization. The empirical part is focused on qualitative research of selected media, consisting of content analysis of contemporary periodicals and semi-structured interviews with selected media editors. In total, 134 issues were analyzed and four interviews were conducted with respondents as part of the research. The results show the role of selected magazines as subcultural media, which significantly contributed to the development of electronic dance music in our country. Using the obtained results, the work defines the main events and meanings by which the selected media influenced the dance music scene of that time. 1
Iron-Sulfur cluster assembly in Monocercomonoides exilis

In the search for the mitochondrion of oxymonads, DNA of Monocercomonoides exilis - an oxymonad isolated from the gut of Chinchilla, was isolated and its genome was sequenced. Sequencing resulted in a fairly complete genome which was extensively searched or genes for mitochondrion related proteins, but no reliable candidate for such gene was identified. Even genes for the ISC pathway, which is responsible for Fe-S cluster assembly and considered to be the only essential function of reduced mitochondrion-like organelles (MROs), were absent. Instead, we were able to detect the presence of a SUF pathway which functionally replaced the ISC pathway. Closer examination of the SUF pathway based on heterologous localisation revealed that this pathway localised in the cytosol. In silico analysis showed that SUF genes are highly conserved at the level of secondary and tertiary structure and most catalytic residues and motifs are present in their sequences. The functionality of these proteins was further indirectly confirmed by complementation experiments in Escherichia coli where SUF proteins of M. exilis were able to restore at least partially Fe-S cluster assembly of strains deficient in the SUF and ISC pathways. We also proved by bacterial adenylate cyclase two-hybrid system that SufB and SufC can form...

Mitochondrion of oxymonads
Vacek, Vojtěch ; Hampl, Vladimír (advisor) ; Eliáš, Marek (referee)
Oxymonads are among the last larger eukaryotic groups in which mitochondrion-like organelles were not detected. Among almost one million transcriptome sequences of oxymonad Monocercomonoides we found sequences for only three proteins commonly associated with mitochondrion-like organelles - pyruvate:ferredoxin oxidoreductase (PFO), [FeFe]hydrogenase and pyridine:nucleotide transhydrogenase (PNT). Out of these tree proteins PNT is most closely associated with mitochondrion-like organelles. Although the transcriptome data set is quite large we did not detect any other mitochondrial proteins including proteins for synthesis of FeS clusters and proteins associated with mitochondrial protein import. In the phylogenetic tree, PNT from Monocercomonoides formed a clade with sequences of other eukaryotes. This suggests that PNT of Monocercomonoides is likely of mitochondrial origin; however, the possibility that Monocercomonoides acquired PNT by lateral gene transfer cannot be excluded. We tried to localize PNT in the cell of Monocercomonoides by immunofluorescent microscopy but the results were difficult to interpret. We could not prove the presence of mitochondrion-like organelle in Monocercomonoides. If there is any such organelle, it is highly probable that this organelle is very reduced because we did not find...
