S-acylation and lipid exchange at the ER-Golgi membrane contact sites regulate pathogen entry in human cells
Cells have evolved endocytic pathways to internalize different molecules, to regulate intra-cellular communication and their interaction with external environment. Pathogens have co-evolved with cells to exploit these processes for infections. In particula ...
EPFL2024Modular segmentation, spatial analysis and visualization of volume electron microscopy datasets
Volume electron microscopy is the method of choice for the in situ interrogation of cellular ultrastructure at the nanometer scale, and with the increase in large raw image datasets generated, improving computational strategies for image segmentation and s ...
Berlin2024Simultaneous membrane and RNA binding by Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus capsid protein
Tick-borne encephalitis virus is an enveloped, pathogenic, RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae, genus Flavivirus. Viral particles are formed when the nucleocapsid, consisting of an RNA genome and multiple copies of the capsid protein, buds through the end ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2023Absolute quantification of pceABCT gene products and characterization of the membrane protein complex responsible for the reduction of tetrachloroethene in Dehalobacter restrictus
Christof Holliger, Julien Maillard, Adrian Schmid, Lorenzo Cimmino
The pceABCT gene cluster from Dehalobacter restrictus is one model system for tetrachloroethene (PCE) respiration. In the present study we aim to decipher the stoichiometry of the pceABCT gene products and the composition of PceA-containing membrane-bound ...
2021Mammalian membrane trafficking as seen through the lens of bacterial toxins
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Oksana Andrei Sergeeva
A fundamental question of eukaryotic cell biology is how membrane organelles are organised and interact with each other. Cell biologists address these questions by characterising the structural features of membrane compartments and the mechanisms that coor ...
WILEY2020Thioredoxin-Related Transmembrane Proteins: TMX1 and Little Brothers TMX2, TMX3, TMX4 and TMX5
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is site of synthesis and maturation of membrane and secretory proteins in eukaryotic cells. The ER contains more than 20 members of the Protein Disulfide Isomerase (PDI) family. These enzymes regulate formation, isomerization ...
2020Proteasomal and lysosomal clearance of faulty secretory proteins: ER-associated degradation (ERAD) and ER-to-lysosome-associated degradation (ERLAD) pathways
About 40% of the eukaryotic cell's proteins are inserted co- or post-translationally in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where they attain the native structure under the assistance of resident molecular chaperones and folding enzymes. Subsequently, these pr ...
2019Lipid exchange and signaling at ER–Golgi contact sites
Meticulous observations of the cell perinuclear region where the Golgi and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) networks intermingle have revealed close contact sites of barely 20 nm between these two organelles. Recent studies demonstrate that molecular machine ...
