Chromatin plasticity predetermines neuronal eligibility for memory trace formation

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Johannes Gräff, Marion Leleu, Liliane Glauser, Simone Astori, Giulia Santoni

Memories are encoded by sparse populations of neurons but how such sparsity arises remains largely unknown. We found that a neuron’s eligibility to be recruited into the memory trace depends on its epigenetic state prior to encoding. Principal neurons in t ...

Chromosome-level organization of the regulatory genome in the Drosophila nervous system

Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Marion Leleu, Julien Dorier, Christian Iseli, Brian Donal McCabe, Rebecca Carolyn Smith

Previous studies have identified topologically associating domains (TADs) as basic units of genome organization. We present evidence of a previously unreported level of genome folding, where distant TAD pairs, megabases apart, interact to form meta-domains ...

ROS-induced ribosome impairment underlies ZAKα-mediated metabolic decline in obesity and aging

Marion Leleu

The ribotoxic stress response (RSR) is a signaling pathway in which the p38- and c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)-activating mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) ZAK alpha senses stalling and/or collision of ribosomes. Here, we show that rea ...

The Transcriptional Regulator Prdm1 Is Essential for the Early Development of the Sensory Whisker Follicle and Is Linked to the Beta-Catenin First Dermal Signal

Bernard Moret, Yann Barrandon, Marion Leleu, Jessica Sordet

Prdm1 mutant mice are one of the rare mutant strains that do not develop whisker hair follicles while still displaying a pelage. Here, we show that Prdm1 is expressed at the earliest stage of whisker development in clusters of mesenchymal cells before plac ...

Integrated proteogenomic deep sequencing and analytics accurately identify non-canonical peptides in tumor immunopeptidomes

Didier Trono, George Coukos, Marion Leleu, Evaristo Jose Planet Letschert, Markus Müller, Florian Huber, Laia Simo Riudalbas, Delphine Yvette L Grun, Ioannis Xenarios, Lin Zhang

Efforts to precisely identify tumor human leukocyte antigen (HLA) bound peptides capable of mediating T cell-based tumor rejection still face important challenges. Recent studies suggest that non-canonical tumor-specific HLA peptides derived from annotated ...

Three-dimensional chromatin interactions remain stable upon CAG/CTG repeat expansion

Marion Leleu, Ludovica Vanzan, Flavia Marzetta, Ioannis Xenarios

Expanded CAG/CTG repeats underlie 13 neurological disorders, including myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) and Huntington's disease (HD). Upon expansion, disease loci acquire heterochromatic characteristics, which may provoke changes to chromatin conformation ...

The process of Lewy body formation, rather than simply α-synuclein fibrillization, is one of the major drivers of neurodegeneration

Hilal Lashuel, Graham Knott, Marion Leleu, Fabien Kuttler, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Johannes Burtscher, Niran Maharjan, Laura Emmeline H Weerens

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded and aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn) into intraneuronal inclusions named Lewy bodies (LBs). Although it is widely believed that α-syn plays a central role in the pathogenesis of PD, t ...

Multicenter analysis of sputum microbiota in tuberculosis patients

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Marion Leleu, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Philippe Busso

The impact of tuberculosis and of anti-tuberculosis therapy on composition and modification of human lung microbiota has been the object of several investigations. However, no clear outcome has been presented so far and the relationship betweenM.tuberculos ...

Differential regulation of RNA polymerase III genes during liver regeneration

Olivier Martin, Bart Deplancke, Felix Naef, Jacques Rougemont, Marion Leleu, Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Fabrice David, Kyle Gustafson, Dominic Villeneuve, Cristian Carmeli

Mouse liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy involves cells in the remaining tissue synchronously entering the cell division cycle. We have used this system and H3K4me3, Pol II and Pol III profiling to characterize adaptations in Pol III transcriptio ...

Single-cell transcriptional logic of cell-fate specification and axon guidance in early-born retinal neurons

Marion Leleu, Gioele La Manno, Pierre Raymond Fabre

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), cone photoreceptors (cones), horizontal cells and amacrine cells are the first classes of neurons produced in the retina. However, an important question is how this diversity of cell states is transcriptionally produced. Here ...
