Injury-induced intestinal stem cell renewal requires capillary morphogenesis gene 2

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Julien Léonard Duc, Olivier Burri, Nathalie Brandenberg, Romain Guiet, Béatrice Kunz, Lucie Josepha Marie Bracq, Audrey Geneviève Chuat

Patients with the rare genetic disorder Hyaline Fibromatosis Syndrome (HFS) often succumb before 18 months of age due to severe diarrhea. As HFS is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding capillary morphogenesis gene 2 (CMG2), these sympt ...

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 ...

Dynamics of CLIMP-63 S-acylation control ER morphology

Vassily Hatzimanikatis, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Graham Knott, Kathryn Hess Bellwald, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Béatrice Kunz, Luciano Andres Abriata, Sylvia Ho, Catherine Maclachlan, Patrick Alain Sandoz

A key player in the formation of endoplasmic reticulum sheets is CLIMP-63, but mechanistic details remained elusive. Here authors combined cellular experiments and mathematical modelling to show that S-acylation of CLIMP-63 regulates its function by mediat ...

SARS-CoV-2 hijacks a cell damage response, which induces transcription of a more efficient Spike S-acyltransferase

Didier Trono, Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Béatrice Kunz, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita, Lucie Josepha Marie Bracq, Joana Carlevaro Fita, Audrey Geneviève Chuat, Nattawadee Panyain

SARS-CoV-2 infection requires Spike protein-mediated fusion between the viral and cellular membranes. The fusogenic activity of Spike depends on its post-translational lipid modification by host S-acyltransferases, predominantly ZDHHC20. Previous observati ...

S-acylation: an orchestrator of the life cycle and function of membrane proteins

Françoise Gisou van der Goot Grunberg, Laurence Gouzi Abrami, Francisco De Magalhães Sarmento R De Mesquita

S-acylation is a covalent post-translational modification of proteins with fatty acids, achieved by enzymatic attachment via a labile thioester bond. This modification allows for dynamic control of protein properties and functions in association with cell ...
