S-acylation controls SARS-CoV-2 membrane lipid organization and enhances infectivity

Didier Trono, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Luciano Andres Abriata, Priscilla Turelli, Giovanni D'Angelo, Béatrice Kunz, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita

SARS-CoV-2 virions are surrounded by a lipid bilayer that contains membrane proteins such as spike, responsible for target-cell binding and virus fusion. We found that during SARS-CoV-2 infection, spike becomes lipid modified, through the sequential action ...

A high-throughput cell- and virus-free assay shows reduced neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 variants by COVID-19 convalescent plasma

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Valeria Cagno, Jérémy Campos, Céline Pellaton

The detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies in the serum of an individual indicates previous infection or vaccination. However, it provides limited insight into the protective nature of this immune resp ...

Large variation in anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody prevalence among essential workers in Geneva, Switzerland

Didier Trono, Idris Guessous, Francisco Javier Perez Saez, Francesco Pennacchio, Maria Eugenia Zaballa

Limited data exist on SARS-CoV-2 infection rates across sectors and occupations, hindering our ability to make rational policy, including vaccination prioritization, to protect workers and limit SARS-CoV-2 spread. Here, we present results from our SEROCoV- ...

A highly potent antibody effective against SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Florence Pojer, Davide Demurtas, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Kelvin Ka Ching Lau, Jérémy Campos

Control of the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is endangered by the emergence of viral variants with increased transmission efficiency, resistance to marketed therapeutic antibodies, and reduced sensitivity to vaccine-induced immunity. Here, we screen B cells ...

KRAB-zinc finger protein gene expansion in response to active retrotransposons in the murine lineage

Didier Trono, Alberto De Iaco

The Krüppel-associated box zinc finger protein (KRAB-ZFP) family diversified in mammals. The majority of human KRAB-ZFPs bind transposable elements (TEs), however, since most TEs are inactive in humans it is unclear whether KRAB-ZFPs emerged to suppress TE ...

Primate-restricted KRAB zinc finger proteins and target retrotransposons control gene expression in human neurons

Didier Trono, Bart Deplancke, Priscilla Turelli, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Julien Léonard Duc, Charlène Mireille Raymonde Raclot, Alexandre Coudray, Julien Paul André Pontis, Delphine Yvette L Grun, Christopher James Playfoot

In the first days of embryogenesis, transposable element-embedded regulatory sequences (TEeRS) are silenced by Kruppel-associated box (KRAB) zinc finger proteins (KZFPs). Many TEeRS are subsequently co-opted in transcription networks, but how KZFPs influen ...

Transpochimeric gene trancripts (tcgts) as cancer biomarkers

Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Julien Léonard Duc, Laia Simo Riudalbas

The invention relates to methods for detecting or predicting the likelihood of a cancer in a subject as well as to compositions, pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment of cancer. ...

KAP1 targets actively transcribed genomic loci to exert pleomorphic effects on RNA polymerase II activity

Didier Trono, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Suk Min Jang

KAP1 (KRAB-associated protein 1) is best known as a co-repressor responsible for inducing heterochromatin formation, notably at transposable elements. However, it has also been observed to bind the transcription start site of actively expressed genes. To a ...

Endogenous retroviruses drive KRAB zinc-finger protein family expression for tumor suppression

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Alexandre Coudray

Gene expression aberration is a hallmark of cancers, but the mechanisms underlying such aberrations remain unclear. Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are genomic repetitive elements that potentially function as enhancers. Since numerous HERVs are epige ...

The Human RNA Helicase DDX21 Presents a Dimerization Interface Necessary for Helicase Activity

Didier Trono, Matteo Dal Peraro, Suliana Manley, Maria Josefina Marcaida Lopez, Jenny Sülzle, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Alice Duperrex

Members of the DEAD-box helicase family are involved in all fundamental processes of RNA metabolism, and as such, their malfunction is associated with various diseases. Currently, whether and how oligomerization impacts their biochemical and biological fun ...
