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 ...
EPFL2024The role of OCT4 and SOX2 in regulating chromatin accessibility and cell fate across the cell cycle in embryonic stem cells
Precise spatiotemporal regulation of gene expression is essential for development and homeostasis of complex organisms. This is achieved in large part by sequence-specific transcription factors (TF) that bind to genomic regulatory elements to activate or r ...
EPFL2019Memory and relatedness of transcriptional activity in mammalian cell lineages
Felix Naef, David Michael Suter, Nicholas Edward Phillips, Aleksandra Mandic, Saeed Omidi Klishami
Phenotypically identical mammalian cells often display considerable variability in transcript levels of individual genes. How transcriptional activity propagates in cell lineages, and how this varies across genes is poorly understood. Here we combine live- ...
2019Anthrax toxin requires ZDHHC5-mediated palmitoylation of its surface-processing host enzymes
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Oksana Andrei Sergeeva
The protein acyl transferase ZDHHC5 was recently proposed to regulate trafficking in the endocytic pathway. Therefore, we explored the function of this enzyme in controlling the action of bacterial toxins. We found that ZDHHC5 activity is required for two ...
2019Mutation update: TGFBI pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in corneal dystrophies
Human transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGFBI), is a gene responsible for various corneal dystrophies. TGFBI produces a protein called TGFBI, which is involved in cell adhesion and serves as a recognition sequence for integrins. An alteration in cel ...
2019Atroxlysin-III, A Metalloproteinase from the Venom of the Peruvian Pit Viper Snake Bothrops atrox (Jergon) Induces Glycoprotein VI Shedding and Impairs Platelet Function
Atroxlysin-III (Atr-III) was purified from the venom of Bothrops atrox. This 56-kDa protein bears N-linked glycoconjugates and is a P-III hemorrhagic metalloproteinase. Its cDNA-deduced amino acid sequence reveals a multidomain structure including a propro ...
2019Single live cell monitoring of protein turnover reveals intercellular variability and cell cycle dependence of degradation rates
Cells need to be able to precisely control their proteome composition in order to maintain homeostasis. This is of particular relevance in fast dividing cells, such as embryonic stem cells, since their global protein levels need to be doubled at each divis ...
EPFL2018Cytosolic delivery and characterization of monobodies interfering with SH2 domain-phosphotyrosine interactions
Targeted cancer therapy is a very promising concept; however, small molecule inhibitors only exist for a limited number of oncoproteins and resistance development limits their clinical use. Different engineered non-antibody scaffolds are being explored to ...
EPFL2018Folding and Endocytosis of Anthrax Toxin Receptors
Bacillus anthracis is the causative agent of the infectious disease anthrax. The disease is caused after taking up the spores by either inhalation, ingestion or through skin lesion. They then germinate inside the body and start secreting the tripartite ant ...
EPFL2016Differential dependence on N-glycosylation of anthrax toxin receptors CMG2 and TEM8
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Julie Deuquet Ariosa
ANTXR 1 and 2, also known as TEM8 and CMG2, are two type I membrane proteins, which have been extensively studied for their role as anthrax toxin receptors, but with a still elusive physiological function. Here we have analyzed the importance of N-glycosyl ...
