Palmitoylated acyl protein thioesterase APT2 deforms membranes to extract substrate acyl chains
Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Matteo Dal Peraro, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Florence Pojer, Sylvia Ho, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Patrick Alain Sandoz, Martina Audagnotto, Giulia Fonti, Muhammad Umair Anwar
Acyl protein thioesterase APT2 interacts with membranes via its charged beta-tongue, becomes palmitoylated by ZDHHC3/7 and deforms the bilayer to extract substrate acyl chains. APT2 deacylation leads to its membrane release and degradation. Many biochemica ...
NATURE RESEARCH2021Role of photosymbiosis in the Late Triassic expansion of shallow-water Scleractinia
Since their appearance in the Anisian (ca. 240 Ma) scleractinian corals rapidly diversified and expandedacross shallow marine environments, becoming the main builders of reefs. This ecological success coralsowe to their symbiotic relationship with photosyn ...
2019Ultrastructure and distribution of kleptoplasts in benthic foraminifera from shallow-water (photic) habitats
Anders Meibom, Charlotte Madeleine Nicole Lekieffre, Emmanuelle Geslin
Assimilation, sequestration and maintenance of foreign chloroplasts inside an organism is termed “chloroplast sequestration” or “kleptoplasty”. This phenomenon is known in certain benthic foraminifera, in which such kleptoplasts can be found both intact an ...
2018In Vitro Culture of the Insect Endosymbiont Spiroplasma poulsonii Highlights Bacterial Genes Involved in Host-Symbiont Interaction
Bruno Lemaitre, Fanny Schüpfer, Florent François Masson, Mario Gonzalo Garcia Arraez
Endosymbiotic bacteria associated with eukaryotic hosts are omnipresent in nature, particularly in insects. Studying the bacterial side of host-symbiont interactions is, however, often limited by the unculturability and genetic intractability of the symbio ...
2018Photosymbiosis and the expansion of shallow-water corals
Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski
Roughly 240 million years ago (Ma), scleractinian corals rapidly expanded and diversified across shallow marine environments. The main driver behind this evolution is uncertain, but the ecological success of modern reefbuilding corals is attributed to thei ...
Amer Assoc Advancement Science2016Metabolic Needs and Capabilities of Toxoplasma gondii through Combined Computational and Experimental Analysis
Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Stepan Tymoshenko, Rebecca Oppenheim, Jens Nielsen, Dominique Soldati-Favre
Toxoplasma gondii is a human pathogen prevalent worldwide that poses a challenging and unmet need for novel treatment of toxoplasmosis. Using a semi-automated reconstruction algorithm, we reconstructed a genome-scale metabolic model, ToxoNet1. The reconstr ...
Public Library Science2015Transcriptomic characterization of the enzymatic antioxidants FeSOD, MnSOD, APX and KatG in the dinoflagellate genus Symbiodinium
Background The diversity of the symbiotic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium sp., as assessed by genetic markers, is well established. To what extent this diversity is reflected on the amino acid level of functional genes such as enzymatic antioxidants that play ...
BioMed Central2015Cryo-electron tomography reveals four-membrane architecture of the Plasmodium apicoplast
Background: The apicoplast is a plastid organelle derived from a secondary endosymbiosis, containing biosynthetic pathways essential for the survival of apicomplexan parasites. The Toxoplasma apicoplast clearly possesses four membranes but in related Plasm ...
Springer Nature2013The Janthinobacterium sp. HH01 Genome Encodes a Homologue of the V. cholerae CqsA and L. pneumophila LqsA Autoinducer Synthases
Janthinobacteria commonly form biofilms on eukaryotic hosts and are known to synthesize antibacterial and antifungal compounds. Janthinobacterium sp. HH01 was recently isolated from an aquatic environment and its genome sequence was established. The genome ...
Public Library of Science2013Phosphoinositides in Golgi Complex Function
The Golgi complex is a ribbon-like organelle composed of stacks of flat cisternae interconnected by tubular junctions. It occupies a central position in the endomembrane system as proteins and lipids that are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) p ...
