Mechanisms and functions of protein S-acylation
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita
Over the past two decades, protein S-acylation (often referred to as S-palmitoylation) has emerged as an important regulator of vital signalling pathways. S-Acylation is a reversible post-translational modification that involves the attachment of a fatty a ...
Berlin2024S-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 ...
EPFL2024Refining S-acylation: Structure, regulation, dynamics, and therapeutic implications
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Muhammad Umair Anwar
S-acylation is one of the most frequent posttranslational modifications that regulates diverse cellular processes. Anwar and van der Goot discuss the complexity and disease implications of this highly regulated reversible lipidation. With a limited number ...
ROCKEFELLER UNIV PRESS2023De novo developed small cyclic peptides that are orally available
Cyclic peptides are ring-shaped molecules that emerged as a promising class of therapeutics. While it is often difficult to find small molecule binders for challenging disease targets, cyclic peptides can bind to featureless surfaces or inhibit protein-pro ...
EPFL2022Post-translational regulation of neuronal differentiation
Glycosphingolipids (GSLs) are amphipathic lipid moieties that make up only 3% of the total lipid content of the cell and are almost exclusively expressed at the Plasma Membrane(PM). They are key drivers of signalling hotspots known as âlipid-raftsâ as ...
EPFL2021Specific Protein-Membrane Interactions Promote Packaging of Metallo-beta-Lactamases into Outer Membrane Vesicles
Matteo Dal Peraro, Alessio Prunotto, Guillermo Bahr
Outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) act as carriers of bacterial products such as plasmids and resistance determinants, including metallo-beta-lactamases. The lipidated, membrane-anchored metallo-beta-lactamase NDM-1 can be detected in Gram-negative OMVs. The s ...
AMER SOC MICROBIOLOGY2021Extent of N-terminus exposure of monomeric alpha-synuclein determines its aggregation propensity
As an intrinsically disordered protein, monomeric alpha-synuclein (aSyn) occupies a large conformational space. Certain conformations lead to aggregation prone and non-aggregation prone intermediates, but identifying these within the dynamic ensemble of mo ...
2020High-throughput and adaptive super-resolution fluorescence microscopy of organelles
Fluorescence super-resolution microscopy has allowed unprecedented insight into the workings of biological systems below the diffraction limit of light. Over the past decade, it has overcome several challenges to deliver 3D, multi-color and faster imaging ...
EPFL2020Identification and characterisation of small-molecule inhibitors targeting STING
The recognition of pathogen-derived nucleic acids is a critical mechanism by which the innate immune system detects viral infection. Upon activation, nucleic acid sensors initiate the expression of type I interferons and other inflammatory mediators, subse ...
EPFL2019The WRB Subunit of the Get3 Receptor is Required for the Correct Integration of its Partner CAML into the ER
Calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand (CAML), together with Tryptophan rich basic protein (WRB, Get1 in yeast), constitutes the mammalian receptor for the Transmembrane Recognition Complex subunit of 40 kDa (TRC40, Get3 in yeast), a cytosolic ATPase with a ...
