Expression proteomics study to determine metallodrug targets and optimal drug combinations

Paul Joseph Dyson, Kai Johnsson, David Hacker, Claire Samantha Allardyce

The emerging technique termed functional identification of target by expression proteomics (FITExP) has been shown to identify the key protein targets of anti-cancer drugs. Here, we use this approach to elucidate the proteins involved in the mechanism of a ...

Role of Condensing Particles in Polymer Confinement: A Model for Virus-Packed "Minichromosomes"

Sanjin Marion

Confined mixtures of a polymer and nonspecifically binding particles (condensers) are studied as models for viruses containing double-stranded DNA (polymer) and condensing proteins (particles). We explore a model in which all interactions between the packe ...

Centriolar CPAP/SAS-4 Imparts Slow Processive Microtubule Growth

Pierre Gönczy, Nicola Jane Dynes, Ashwani Sharma

Centrioles are fundamental and evolutionarily conserved microtubule-based organelles whose assembly is characterized by microtubule growth rates that are orders of magnitude slower than those of cytoplasmic microtubules. Several centriolar proteins can int ...

Mechanisms of centrosome separation in C. elegans

Alessandro De Simone

Centrosomes are the major microtubule organizing centers of animal cells. The two centrosomes present at the onset of mitosis must separate in a timely fashion along the nuclear envelope to ensure proper bipolar spindle assembly and thus genome stability. ...

The Human Centriolar Protein CEP135 Contains a Two-Stranded Coiled-Coil Domain Critical for Microtubule Binding

Pierre Gönczy, Georgios Hatzopoulos, Paul Guichard

Centrioles are microtubule-based structures that play important roles notably in cell division and cilium biogenesis. CEP135/Bld10p family members are evolutionarily conserved microtubule-binding proteins important for centriole formation. Here, we analyze ...

Chemical Genetic Screen Identifies Natural Products that Modulate Centriole Number

Kai Johnsson, Pierre Gönczy, Michele Graciotti, Zhou Fang

Centrioles are microtubule-based organelles found in most eukaryotic cells and that are critical for the formation of cilia and flagella, as well as of centrosomes in animal cells. The number of centrioles must be strictly regulated in proliferating cells ...

Dynein Transmits Polarized Actomyosin Cortical Flows to Promote Centrosome Separation

Pierre Gönczy, Alessandro De Simone

The two centrosomes present at the onset of mitosis must separate in a timely and accurate fashion to ensure proper bipolar spindle assembly. The minus-end-directed motor dynein plays a pivotal role in centrosome separation, but the underlying mechanisms r ...

Metabolomics-assisted proteomics identifies succinylation and SIRT5 as important regulators of cardiac function

Johan Auwerx, Zhi Li, Wei Chen, Dongryeol Ryu, Shuo Zhang

Cellular metabolites, such as acyl-CoA, can modify proteins, leading to protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs). One such PTM is lysine succinylation, which is regulated by sirtuin 5 (SIRT5). Although numerous proteins are modified by lysine succiny ...

Quality control mechanisms of protein biogenesis: proteostasis dies hard

Maurizio Molinari

The biosynthesis of proteins entails a complex series of chemical reactions that transform the information stored in the nucleic acid sequence into a polypeptide chain that needs to properly fold and reach its functional location in or outside the cell. It ...

Discriminative adsorption of amphiphilic monolayer protected gold nanoparticles on amyloid fibers

Paulo Henrique Jacob Silva

This thesis presents a systematic study of how different types monolayer-protected AuNPs interact with amyloid fibers. We report a class of amphiphilic gold nanoparticles capable of adsorbing onto specific surface features on these types of protein fibers. ...
