Panel, Nicolas. "Étude computationnelle du domaine PDZ de Tiam1." Thesis, Université Paris-Saclay (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017SACLX062/document.
Full textSmall protein domains often direct protein-protein interactions and regulate eukaryotic signalling pathways. PDZ domains are among the most widespread and best-studied. They specifically recognize the 4-10 C-terminal amino acids of target proteins. Tiam1 is a Rac GTP exchange factor that helps control cellmigration and proliferation and whose PDZ domain binds the proteins syndecan-1 (Sdc1), Caspr4, and Neurexin. Short peptides and peptidomimetics can potentially inhibit or modulate its action and act as bioreagents or therapeutics. We used computational protein design (CPD) and molecular dynamics (MD) free energy simulations to understand and engineer its peptide specificity. CPD uses a structural model and an energy function to explore the space of sequences and structures and identify stable and functional protein or peptide variants. We used our in-house Proteus CPD package to completely redesign the Tiam1 PDZ domain. The designed sequences were similar to natural PDZ domains, with similarity and fold recognition scores comarable to the widely-used Rosetta CPD package. Selected sequences, containing around 60 mutated positions out of 90, were tested by microsecond MD simulations and biophysical experiments. Four of five sequences tested experimentally (by our collaborators) displayed reversible unfolding around 50°C. Proteus also accurately scored the binding specificity of several protein and peptide variants. As a more refined model for specificity, we parameterized a semi-empirical free energy model of the Poisson-Boltzmann Linear Interaction Energy or PB/LIE form, which scores conformations extracted from explicit solvent MD simulations of PDZ:peptide complexes. With three adjustable parameters, the model accurately reproduced the experimental binding affinities of 41 variants, with a mean unsigned error of just 0.4 kcal/mol, andgave predictions for 10 new variants. The PB/LIE model was tested further by comparing to non-empirical, alchemical, MD free energy simulations, which have no adjustable parameters and were found to give chemical accuracy for 12 Tiam1:peptide complexes. The tools and insights obtained should help discover new tight binding peptides or peptidomimetics and have broad implications for engineering PDZ:peptide interactions

Full textComputational Protein Design, or CPD is the search for the amino acid sequences compatible with a targeted protein structure. The goal is to design a new function and/or add a new behavior. CPD has been developed in our laboratory for several years, with the software Proteus which has several successes to its credit. Our approach uses a physics-based energy model, and relies on the energy difference between the folded and unfolded states of the protein. During this thesis, we enriched Proteus on several points, including the addition of a Monte Carlo exploration method with Replica Exchange or REMC. We compared extensively three stochastic methods for the exploration of sequence space: REMC, plain Monte Carlo and a heuristic designed for CPD: Multistart Steepest Descent or MSD.These comparisons concerned nine proteins from three structural families: SH2, SH3 and PDZ. Using the exploration techniques above, we were able to identify the Global Minimum EnergyConformation, or GMEC for nearly all the test cases where up to10 positions of the polypeptide chain were free to mutate (the others retaining their native types). For the tests where 20positions were free to mutate, the GMEC was identified in 2/3 of the cases. Overall, REMC and MSD give very good sequences in terms of energy, often identical or very close to the GMEC. MSDperformed best in the tests with 30 mutating positions. REMCwith eight replicas and optimized parameters often gave the best result when all positions could mutate. Moreover, compared to an exact enumeration of the low energy sequences, REMC provided a sample of sequences with a high sequence diversity.In the second part of this work, we tested our CPD model forPDZ domain design. For the folded state, we used two variants ofa GB solvent model. The first used a mean, effective protein/solvent dielectric boundary; the second one, more rigorous, used an exact boundary that flucutated over the MCtrajectory. To characterize the unfolded state, we used a set of amino acid chemical potentials or reference energies. These reference energies were determined by maximizing a likelihoodfunction so as to reproduce the amino acid frequencies in naturalPDZ domains. The sequences designed by Proteus were compared to the natural sequences. Our sequences are globally similar to the Pfam sequences, in the sense of the BLOSUM40scores, with especially high scores for the residues in the core ofthe protein. The more rigorous GB variant always gives sequences similar to moderately distant natural homologues and perfect recognition by the the Super family fold recognition tool.Our sequences were also compared to those produced by the Rosetta software. The quality, according to the same criteria as before, was very similar, but the Rosetta sequences exhibit fewer mutations than the Proteus sequences

Full textInfection by high-risk human papillomaviruses is the main etiological factor of cervical cancer. HPV E6 oncoprotein contributes to carcinogenesis in part by its activity of p53 degradation, allowing the apoptosis inhibition. This activity needs the formation of a trimeric complex between E6, p53 and the E6AP ubiquitine ligase which induced polyubiquitination of p53 and its degradation by proteasome 26 S. Another activity of E6 is related to its ability to interact with some PDZ-containing proteins. This interaction is due to the presence of PDZ-binding motif located at the C-terminus extremity of high-risk mucosal HPV E6 protein. PDZ-containing proteins are involved in several cellular processes such the control of cell polarity, adhesion and proliferation. This thesis is focused on: (1) the study of an E6 mutant which is dominant-negatif for the degradation of p53 in HPV-positive cell line (HeLa). E6 F47R mutant has the ability to form a complex with p53 and E6AP. This trimeric complex is not able to induce p53 ubiquitination. The mutant expression in HeLa cells, induce their proliferation inhibition and p53-dependant prematured senescence. (2) identification of structural determinants of specificity interaction between HPV16 E6 and MAGI-1 PDZ1 domain : residus located upstream the PDZ-binding motif are involved in the interaction with PDZ domain. Lysine K499 and BC loop of PDZ domain are implicated in the interaction with E6 protein. By applying the same approach to others PDZ domain which are targeted by E6, it will be possible to unravel common structural rules of E6/PDZ interaction

Full textThe type II secretion system (T2SS) transports folded proteins from the periplasm through the outer membrane into the milieu. In many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, the T2SS secretes various virulence factors in host tissue and is directly involved in pathogenesis. The phytopathogen Dickeya dadantii secretes a dozen of pectinases through a T2SS named Out. The secreted proteins are lacking an obvious common signal and secretion is thought to involve multiple transient interactions of folded exoproteins with several T2SS components. Molecular nature of these interactions remains unknown. To address this question we used an in vivo sitespecific photo-crosslinking approach to capture such transient interactions within the functional T2SS of D. dadantii. In this technique, the photo-crosslinker para-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine, pBpa, is introduced in vivo in place of a residue of interest and UV-irradiation of living cells provokes the formation of complexes between the protein of interest and its partners. First, in a systematic approach, pBpa was introduced at several surface-exposed sites of the secreted protein PelI. This strategy permitted us to identify that one structural element, loop 3 of Fn3 domain in PelI, interacts both with the secretin, the outer membrane T2SS component, and with the PDZ domain of OutC, an inner membrane T2SS component. These results suggest that this loop 3 is a part of the secretion motif. The same approach permitted us to identify two other regions of PelI interacting with the T2SS: a linker situated between the two domains of PelI, which interacts with OutD, and an exposed region of the catalytic domain of PelI interacting with OutC. In another approach, pBpa was introduced into the T2SS components, OutC and OutD. These experiments suggested that the PDZ domain of OutC interacts with the secreted protein PelB. This study, in complement with other approaches, allowed us to uncover some important molecular features of the protein secretion by the T2SS

Full textHuman papilloma viruses infect distinct epithelial cells and cause lesions, which lead simple warts towards cancer. Two viral oncoproteins, E6 and E7, take part in a synergistical way in several cellular parthways, which can lead to immortalisation or transformation. The most cited functions are the degradation of the anti-oncogene p53 by E6 and of the protein pRb by E7. E6 is mainly implicated in the late stages of malign progression towards cancer. This correlates with its ability to degrade PDZ domain containing proteins. These proteins are located at cell-cell junctions and act as scaffolding molecules for building junction and signalisation complexes. Degradation of these proteins often induces invasive cell phenotypes. During my Ph. D. I studied the interaction between PDZ domain containing protein MAGI-1 and the C-terminal domain of E6. I produced the PDZ1 domain of MAGI-1 and the C-terminal domain of E6. Then I set up two methods for measuring protein-protein interactions by Biacore and by comparative chromatographic retention, which allowed to determine the affinity of the interaction. Finally I studied the complex by NMR. The structure calculations of the MAGI-1 PDZ1 bound to a C-terminal E6 peptide is near to completion. The detailed analysis will allow to understand the binding mechanism and the rational design of inhibitors. The interaction measurement techniques will allow to screen inhibitors directed against E6 or PDZ domains at a medium or high throughput for the aim of identifying new therapeutical molecules

Full textAt present, neuropathic pain is arduous to relieve and its therapeutic management is largely unsatisfactory due to its resistance to conventional analgesics (paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids) and the lack of efficacy of current standard treatments (antidepressants and antiepileptics). Today, patients have a choice of two therapeutic strategies, neither of which is satisfactory: one relieves pain but is associated with significant adverse effects, while the other relies on molecules that are better tolerated but less effective. It is therefore urgent to propose therapeutic alternatives for the management of this type of pain.My thesis project proposes an innovative approach to alleviating neuropathic pain and its comorbidities, which have an impact on patient's mobility and autonomy. This approach is based on the inhibition of a major interaction between proteins involved in pain transmission, using new 'first-in-class' chemical compounds. Previous work indicates that ligands capable of interacting with proteins containing PDZ domains, such as the PSD-95 protein, to inhibit their interaction with serotonin 5-HT2A receptors, could be a promising alternative. This work has shown that the interaction between the PSD-95 protein and the 5-HT2A receptor is responsible for the serotonin resistance observed in neuropathic pain. An indole molecule capable of inhibiting this interaction and thus producing an analgesic effect was developed in the course of this work. The aim of this project is to develop a new approach to treating neuropathic pain by targeting the interaction between the 5-HT2A receptor and the PSD-95 protein using innovative aromatic nitrogen heterocycles. The aim is to develop and optimise routes of access to these molecules, to demonstrate their ability to bind to the PSD-95 protein and inhibit its interaction with the 5-HT2A receptor in vitro, and finally to exhibit an analgesic effect in vivo in an experimental model of neuropathic pain

Full textThis thesis focuses on PDZ domains, a family of globular domains that bind to conserved PDZ-Binding Motifs (called henceforth PBMs) generally situated at the extreme C-terminus of their partner proteins. Domain-motif networks are often modulated by reversible post-translational modifications (PTMs). We used synthetized PBMs to reproduce different conditions, such as a wild-type, acetylation or phosphorylation, addition of extra exosites or residue mimication of PTM in the literature. These peptides were used for interaction studies using the holdup assay, an assay originally developed in our laboratory. We evaluated the impact of diverse modifications of the PBM/PDZ interactions, which led to a global change of the PDZ-binding capability. These results provided quantitative information on the biological effects that such modifications may have in the context of full-length proteins

Full textThere are many mechanisms involved in the development of tissues that require cells or groups of cells orient and polarize. The proteins of the planar cell polarity (PCP) combine to form complexes with the membrane and create proximal-distal asymmetries. Vangl2 and Scrib1 have been identified as the first two genes involved in the PCP in mammals. In this study, I am interested in these two proteins and some of the complex in which they are involved. At first, using techniques of biochemistry, cell biology and biophysics, we showed the direct involvement of Scribble1 in traffic after endocytosis of NMDA receptors. Scrib1 interacts with NMDA receptors through its PDZ domains. Due to this binding motif between PDZ1 and PDZ2 of Scrib1, it can interact with the AP2 complex which is involved in receptor endocytosis. This study has identified a new mechanism in which Scrib1 regulates the amount of NMDA receptors on the membrane and is therefore involved in synaptic plasticity. Vangl2 is a transmembrane protein of the most upstream of the PCP pathway. We have identified a new partner named "Axin Interaction partner and Dorsalization Antagonist" (AIDA). We have shown, by yeast two-hybrid and pull down the interaction of Vangl2 with two isoforms of AIDA and collocation in COS7 and neurons. Together, these data show AIDA as a very good candidate for maintaining Vangl2 to adherens junctions and/or its membrane targeting. These studies have allowed us to improve our understanding of the mechanisms involving the planar polarity proteins

Full textSyndecans form a family of four transmembrane proteins that are substituted with heparan sulfate. By virtue of these extracellular carbohydrate chains, syndecans control the signaling of a plethora of growth factors and adhesion molecules. Another remarkable feature of syndecans is the conservation of their intracellular domain through evolution. This domain contains a C-terminal motif that can mediate interaction with PDZ proteins. PDZ interactions are promiscuous and PDZ proteins control various aspects of cell signaling and cell-cell communication. Four syndecan-PDZ interactions have been described so far and all these interactions have broad effects on cell behavior. In particular, it was documented that syndecan-syntenin interaction has impact on the intracellular trafficking of heparan sulfate cargo. Moreover syndecan-syntenin controls the biogenesis of exosomes, extracellular organelles emerging as important mediators of cell-cell communication in health and diseases. The human proteome contains 150 PDZ proteins and 266 PDZ domains. Here we started addressing the complexity of the syndecan-PDZ interactome and tested for its impact on membrane trafficking and on the composition of extracellular vesicles. Our work paves the way for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms and networks controlling cell-cell communication in health and disease

Full textPDZ domains proteins are involved in protein-protein interaction (PPI) and participate in the transport of signals involved in numerous diseases (cancer, cystic fibrosis, pain, …). The disruption the interaction between the PDZ domains protein, PSD-95, and the serotonin receptor, 5-HT2A, reduces mechanical hyperalgesia in a rodent model of neuropathic pain in rats. To design new inhibitors as potential analgesics of this interaction, three strategies have been developed in this work. A first strategy was to conduct a study of structure-activity relationship from a known inhibitor, which allowed us to identify the pharmacophore groups and obtain a new molecule with an indole ring, capable of inhibiting the interaction between PSD-95 and 5-HT2A and possessing an anti-hyperalgesic effect on neuropathic rats. The second strategy was to validate the method of fragment-based drug design with PDZ domains proteins by deconstruction of a known inhibitor of the interaction in several fragments which were screened by NMR HSQC 1H-15N. Systematic evaluation by NMR of each pair of fragments, followed by molecular modeling study was then used to highlight three new molecules that were synthesized, and evaluated by NMR HSQC 1H-15N. The third strategy was a peptidomimetic approach from the C-terminal of 5-HT2A receptors, which led to the synthesis of a peptoid able to interact with the PDZ domain protein. These studies allow us to consider the development of new analgesics either from organic synthesis or from peptide mimetics

Full textComplex and dynamic protein-protein interactions are the core of protein-based networks in cells. At excitatory synapses, the postsynaptic density (PSD) is a typical example of protein-based network whose nanoscale structure and composition determines the cellular function. For instance, the dynamic regulation of PSD composition and glutamate receptors movements into or out of the PSD are the base of current molecular theories of learning and memory. In this context, during my PhD, I focused on a class of protein-protein interactions mediated by PDZ domains. Indeed, over the last decade, numerous studies have shown the critical implication of PDZ domain-mediated interactions from the PSD95 scaffolding protein family in the synaptic targeting and anchoring of glutamate receptors. However, in part due to the lack of adapted tools, the molecular mechanisms that dynamically govern their respective synaptic retention remain poorly understood. In order to investigate these PDZ domain-mediated interactions, I developed several selection strategies by phage-display based on the fibronectin type III (FN3) scaffold in order to either target the PDZ domain-binding motifs of the receptors complexes (e.g., stargazin for AMPARs and GluN2A for NMDARs) or the PDZ domains themselves. Using a multidisciplinary approach, my main objectives were to engineer small synthetic antibodies that will allow us to acutely and specifically disrupt or stabilize these protein complexes, as well as monitor endogenous interactions

Full textThe structural and functional studies of emergent viruses are restricted to few viruses whose overall impact is already established and predictable. Though, the RNA virus world is incredibly wide and increasingly presents new possibilities of emerging pathogens. During my PhD I studied 2 types of proteins involved in replication of these interesting viral pathogens. The L protein of negative strand RNA viruses ((‐)RNA) is the essential RNA polymerase for transcription and replication of the viral genome. Because of the difficulty of producing crystals of the entire protein, very few structural and functional data are available. I generated and studied soluble domains of these proteins and solved the first crystallographic structure of a L protein. I found that it harbors an endonuclease fold conserved in all segmented (‐)RNA viruses, with a putative role in stabilization of viral mRNAs. These results make this domain a suitable target for antiviral research specifically directed against these viruses. During a viral infection the cell is able of generate an antiviral response, the Interferon (IFN) response pathway, which occurs via oligoadenylate synthetase (OAS) /Ribonuclease L (RNase L) involvement. However, viruses use different ways to protect themselves from this cellular response. The actual knowledge on the conserved viral macro domains suggests that they could interact with 2’‐5‘ oligoadenylates (2‐5As), which are signalling molecules in the induction of the IFN response pathway. I developed a method to produce 2‐5As on a large scale. Then I crystallized the macro nsp3 domain of Chikunguya virus in complex with a 2‐5A trimer. These studies open perspectives of research about the relation between viruses and one of the defense mechanism against viral infection, that involving OAS and RNase L

Little is known regarding the molecular mechanisms which control the canalicular expression and membrane stabilization of ABCB4 in hepatocytes. The aim of this work was to study the role of the C-terminal domain of ABCB4 for its expression and stability. potential interaction with EBP50, a PDZ protein highly expressed in hepatocytes. The experimental approach consisted in the deletion of the QNL motif at the C-terminus of ABCB4. The truncation of the QNL motif leds to a reduction of ABCB4 stability by increasing its endocytosis. ABCB4 co-precipitated with EBP50, an interaction that required the QNL motif. This interaction plays a critical role in the canalicular expression and stabilization of ABCB4

Exploration of this network by two-hybrid revealed a functional diversity for ligands of Caenorhabditis elegans’s PDZ domains. New putative functions were being observed through GO-terms and an unexpected proportion of internal ligands appeared, confirmed by Co-IP. We then functionally validated in silico groups of interactions that form our interactome microarrays co-expressed by the integration of data from expression profiles. Finally, this work has enabled the construction of an exploratory tool, the PIPE (PDZ Interacting Protein Explorer) that allows screening of all PDZ domains looking for interactions with a protein of interest and had already showed many additional interactions between PDZ domains and ligands

In the laboratory, it has been characterized by tumor cell rejection experiments in vivo, which has made it possible to define inactivating mutations. In order to better understand the mechanisms of resistance of retroviruses to the immune system, my thesis focused on the identification of the protein(s) interacting with the IS domain. Several cellular and molecular approaches have been developed, based for the most part on the use of fluorescent probes obtained by chemical synthesis, consisting of IS domains from different retroviruses. At first, immune system cells that bind viral proteins have been identified: B cells and myeloid cells (monocytes, dendritic cells and macrophages). In a second step, co-immunoprecipitation and affinity chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry were performed to identify on these cells the membrane proteins responsible for these bonds. Several chemical coupling agents have been used to prevent detachment of low affinity binding between proteins and the IS domain. Due to non-reproducible results obtained during these experiments, IS domain binding assays on cells transfected with cDNA libraries, or in double hybrid experiments were performed. These two approaches made it possible to identify membrane proteins potentially involved in the binding of the IS domain: the X1 and X2 proteins. Co-transfections of IS domain and X2 expression vectors demonstrated protein interactions in co-immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy experiments, particularly with the IS domain of the HIV-1 retrovirus. Concerning X1, its transfection induces binding of the IS domains of HERV-W and MLV on cells membrane. On the other hand, no direct interaction between X1 and the IS domain could be demonstrated, especially in co-immunoprecipitation and confocal microscopy experiments.The discovery of membrane proteins that interact with the IS domain remains a critical issue for understanding the signaling and transcription pathways that allow retroviruses to exert their effect on the immune system, the aim of this work being to identify new therapeutic targets.In conclusion, although further work is still needed, the X1 and X2 proteins may contribute to retroviral immunosuppression

Full textDystrophin is a large protein encoded by DMD gene and located under the plasma membrane of muscle fibers. It plays an essential role in maintaining the integrity of muscle cells during contraction/relaxation cycles. This filamentous protein is composed of four structural domains including the central domain consisting of 24 spectrin-like repeats and four hinges. Each repetition is folded in three α-helices in a ‘coiled-coil’ assembly. Mutations in the DMD gene leads to Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and Becker (MDBs), which are accompanied by frequent plasma membrane ruptures, due to the loss or modification of dystrophin protein. There are very few structural data available concerning the central domain of dystrophin, which is subject to many mutations involved in DMD and BMD diseases. However, the description and the understanding to an atomic level of dystrophin structure and its interaction is essential for optimization of therapies. Given the impossibility to solve its structure by X-ray crystallography or NMR, structural data of the dystrophin central domain were acquired by small angles X-rays scattering (SAXS, Small Angles X-ray Scattering). This thesis presents the development of an innovative multi-scale approach combining experimental SAXS and in silico derived data, allowing the reconstruction of high-resolution models of dystrophin central domain fragments. Structural data were also obtained on a mutated dystrophin frequently observed in BMDs. Furthermore, we also mapped the interactions of the central domain with two of its majors functional partners, Filamentous actin and neuronal nitroxyde synthase (nNOS) and proposed models of the related macromolecular complexes. At long-term, all of these results will allow optimization of therapies for the treatment of muscular dystrophies

Full textCystic fibrosis is a lethal disease induced by genetic mutations of the CFTR chloride channel, leading to a loss of its function in the epithelial tissues of various organs. The lung is particularly affected and becomes a target for chronical bacterial infections. To cure the disease, we developed so-called CFTR “stabilizers”, which are peptides inhibiting the interaction between the CFTR protein and the key mediator of its half-life at the apical membrane of epithelial cells, the CAL protein. In particular, the iCAL36 peptide showed an increase of the functionality of the mutated CFTR protein. The aim of this thesis was to increase this biological effect by improving its pharmacological parameters: cellular internalization (vectorization), metabolic stability and affinity for the CAL protein.The first axis of optimization was the internalization of the iCAL36 peptide by 7 different cell-penetrating peptides (CPP). The corresponding conjugates were evaluated upon their cytotoxicity, their uptake efficiency and their capacity to maintain this efficiency in the presence of proteases. The mechanism of entry of the two best candidates was then studied. Various bias frequently encountered during the analysis of CPP uptake efficiency by fluorescence methods were also identified and explained. Afterwards, the iCAL36 sequence was modulated by inclusion of non-natural amino acids. The screening of the peptide/protein interactions was performed by a method optimized during this thesis (PIPEPLUS process) and allowed the identification of 32 promising analogues of the iCAL36 sequence including several substitutions. In particular, one of these sequences (iCAL-Q27) showed an affinity 70 times stronger for the CAL protein compared to iCAL36, hinting a more complete inhibition of the CAL/CFTR interaction.Overall, these major results grant the access to second-generation “stabilizers” potentially showing an improved biological effect in the context of cystic fibrosis

Full textWe have recently identified a novel evolutionarily conserved protein motif, the THAP domain, which defines a novel family of nuclear factors with 12 human members. We have identified more than a hundred THAP domain containing proteins in animals including the proapoptotic factors DAP4/THAP0 and THAP1, the transcriptional repressor THAP7, the fish orthologue of the cell cycle regulator E2F6 and the C. Elegans proteins HIM-17, LIN-36 and LIN-15B. The THAP domain exhibit striking similarities with the site-specific DNA-binding domain of Drosophila P element transposase. My thesis work demonstrates that the THAP domain of THAP1 is a sequence specific zinc dependent DNA-binding domain. Together with previous genetic data obtained in C. Elegans, our data suggest that the THAP proteins are sequence specific DNA binding factors with roles in cell cycle, apoptosis, chromosome segregation, chromatin modification and transcriptional repression

Full textNous avons déterminé que la protéine XBTBD6 est une protéine cytoplasmique. Dans les cellules Hela, CHO, U2OS et COS7 la protéine XBTBD6 est localisée dans des corpuscules cytoplasmiques, localisation similaire à celle des protéines XBTBD3, HBTBD1 et HBTBD2. Nous avons observé que la partie N-terminale de la protéine, contenant le domaine BTB-POZ, est localisée dans la cellule comme la protéine entière ;par contre la partie C-terminale est exclusivement nucléaire. De plus, nous avons observé que XBTBD6 est localisée de façon diffuse dans le cytoplasme des cellules Neuro2A, 9L et 518A2e. Nous avons montré que la protéine XBTBD6 homodimérise et hétérodimérise avec XBTBD3 et XBTBD2 et qu’elle interagit avec l’ubiquitine ligase E3 XCullin 3. L’ensemble de ces interactions nécessite la présence du domaine BTB-POZ. Ces données montrent que les protéines BTBD6, BTBD3, BTBD1 et BTBD2 possèdent des propriétés communes indiquant qu’elles appartiennent à un sous groupe de la famille des protéines à domaine BTB-POZ.
Le profil d’expression a été analysé par la technique de protection à la RNAse et par hybridation in situ. Les résultats montrent que ce gène est fortement exprimé dans le système nerveux adulte et embryonnaire. Des expériences de surexpression par micro-injection d’ARNm ont permis de placer le gène XBTBD6 dans la cascade d’activation des gènes proneuraux en aval de XNgnr-1, XNeuroD, Xath3 et Xebf3. Ces résultats montrent que XBTBD6 est un marqueur neuronal chez le xénope.
Au cours de l’étude de la fonction du gène XBTBD6, nous avons montré que la surexpression et la perte de fonction de ce gène dans l’embryon de xénope n’induit pas de variation du nombre de neurones dans la plaque neurale. Par contre nous avons observé que la surexpression du gène XBTBD6 dans des cellules Neuro2A en différentiation régule négativement la croissance des neurites.
Nous avons élaboré un modèle de fonctionnement biochimique hypothétique où la protéine XBTBD6 fonctionnerait comme protéine adaptatrice dans un complexe d’ubiquitination permettant l’ubiquitination d’une protéine cible. Nous avons recherché les partenaires potentiels de XBTBD6 en utilisant la technique du double hybride en levure mais sans y parvenir.

Full textTolloid proteinases constitute a group of extracellular metalloproteinases which includes four members in mammals (BMP-1, mTLD, mTLL-1, mTLL-2). These proteinases play major roles in development, tissue repair and related pathological conditions such as fibrosis. In 2006, the first endogenous inhibitor of Tolloid proteinases was identified in Xenopus and zebrafish. This inhibitor, called Sizzled, is a member of the secreted Frizzled- related proteins (sFRPs). The present study strongly suggests that inhibition of Tolloid proteinases activity by sFRPs is not conserved in mammals. Indeed, three of the five mammalian sFRPs were tested (sFRP1, sFRP2 and sFRP4) and none of them was found to inhibit human BMP-1 activity in vitro. In contrast, this study demonstrates that Xenopus Sizzled is a potent and specific inhibitor of human BMP-1, mTLD and mTLL-1. This inhibition involves an interaction between the Frizzled domain of Sizzled and the catalytic domain of Tolloid proteinases. More precisely, residues Asp-92, Phe-94, Ser-43 and Glu-44 of Sizzled (among which only Asp-92 is conserved in mammalian sFRPs) play a crucial role in Tolloid proteinase inhibition. Finally, we studied the longest isoform of collagen XVIII, which also contains a Frizzled domain. We found that BMP-1 can cleave collagen XVIII in vitro, resulting in a Frizzled domain-Containing fragment. Experiments are in progress to determine if this fragment can also inhibit Tolloid proteinase activity

Full textLicT is a protein of the BglG/SacY family from Bacillus subtilis. It regulates, by a transcriptional antitermination mecanism, the expression of the licS gene involved in the β-glucosides metabolism. Once activated, LicT prevents transcriptional termination by fixation to its RNA target. LicT is a modular protein constituted by an RNA binding domain, CAT (Co- Antiterminator) and a regulatory domain, PRD (PTS Regulation Domain) composed of two homologous domains PRD1 and PRD2. The structures of the isolated CAT and PRD domains were recently resolved. Then, the structure of the CAT-PRD1 domain (LicTl-167) is now essential to the understanding of the transmission of the regulation signals between regulator and effector domains. CAT-PRD1 domain was successfully produced and purified. The precipitation of the NMR samples has led us to set up a methodology for the determination of solubility and stability conditions of proteins. Then, CAT-PRD1 domain was identified in solution as a symetrical homodimer of 40 kDa. Its 2H, 13C and 15N labelling has enabled the backbone resonance assignment and the identification of an α-helical folding of the linker region between the CAT and PRD1 domains. Structural variations induced by PRD1 domain on CAT domain were localised. Only the dimer interface of CAT domain was affected and suggests the opening or reorientation of the CAT monomers. The destabilising effect of PRD1 domain was specified. It would shift the equilibrium defined in the regulation model of LicT toward its inactive forms. The α-helix linker between CAT and PRD1 domains would have a central role in the inactivation of the LicT protein and in the transmission of the regulation signals. A preliminary model of CAT PRD1 domain based on relaxation data is presented and shows the monomerisation of CAT domain

Full textBiological membranes display a vast array of shapes. These shapes result in particular from the binding of proteins with characteristic curvature, or carrying motifs able to insert into the bilayer, or both. Moreover these shapes often provide geometrical cues, "informing" the cell on the stage of a budding reaction for instance. The detection of this peculiar signal again requires specialized proteins, and a current question is whether the same proteins or protein motifs are involved in performing both tasks in vivo. Additionally, cellular membranes may either bend toward or away from the cytoplasm, so that cytosolic proteins may either face the convex (of "positive" curvature) or concave (of "negative" curvature) side of the membrane. We quantitatively characterized the I-BAR domain of the protein IRSp53, which displays a convex membrane-binding interface, and therefore interacts preferentially with negative curvature. We used an in vitro assay in which the I-BAR is first encapsulated inside giant liposomes of practically zero curvature. A membrane nanotube is then pulled out of a single liposome, creating a negatively-curved interface for the encapsulated I-BAR. We measured the redistribution of the I-BAR, and how it affects the tube mechanics, as a function of tube curvature and protein area coverage on the membrane. We observe a continuous behavior where the I-BAR mostly detects curvature at low coverage, and imposes a preferred curvature at higher coverage. We have also studied the I-BAR domain of ABBA, which is similar to IRSp53 I-BAR, but additionally displays an amphipathic helix, a motif usually associated with the generation and detection of positive curvature

Full textRNA editing in plants organelle transcripts is a proccess leading to specific post-transcriptional pyrimidine interconversions (mainly C-to-U). Recently a few pentratricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins were described to be essential in this process. During my PhD, I found that the DYW domain of PPR proteins show similarities with the active site of cytidine deaminases, and that the phylogenetic distribution of this domain is strictly correlated with RNA editing in green plants. In addition, in A. thaliana, the AtDYW1 gene encodes a protein made of a targeting signal to the organelles and a DYW domain. Mutant lines in which this gene has been targeted for knock-down exhibit strongly altered development. In the affected seedlings, AtDYW1 gene expression is specifically decreased, and several editing defects in plastids transcripts were characterized.Taken together, these data support the hypothesis that the DYW domain and the AtDYW1 protein may be the central enzyme in the RNA editing

Full textTau is a neuronal protein playing a fundamental role in regulation of tubulin polymerization and microtubule stability. Beyond its major physiological activity, Tau is also involved in a group of diseases called tauopathies, including Alzheimer disease (AD). It is the principal component of the paired helical filaments, the aggregated form of Tau which constitutes the intracellular neurofibrillary tangles in AD.Although the mechanisms leading to these pathological Tau species is not clearly understood, different molecular features have been identified as involved in the aggregation process including : specific mutations identified in frontotemporal dementia, post-translational modifications such as phosphorylation, acetylation and truncations and the identification of the regions that compose the nuclei of Tau aggregation. Moreover, recent results showed that pathological Tau could propagate by an intracellular transfer between neurons and adopt a prion like character.Tau immunotherapy seems to be an attractive strategy in tauopathies to bind to and to clear extracellular and/or intracellular pathological species of the Tau protein to slow disease progression. Indeed, by targeting different Tau epitopes immunotherapy studies showed a reduction of Tau pathology and cognitive deficit in different mouse models of tauopathy.In this context, our goal is to develop and characterize VHH targeted against Tau. VHH are also called single domain antibodies. They are constituted of an unique domain which corresponds to the variable heavy chain from the Immunoglobulin G from Camelidae. Due to their small size (15 kDa), VHH can be used in vitro and in vivo assays. They are produced as recombinant proteins and can easily be modified or optimized for these specific uses.To begin, in partnership with Hybrigenics services Company, we obtained VHHs against Tau from a synthetic library. The recognition site of these VHHs on Tau was determined using NMR chemical shift perturbation experiments using 2D spectra. Affinity parameters characterizing the interaction were evaluated using SPR.Then, we screened the characterized VHHs to test their ability to inhibit the aggregation of Tau in an in vitro assay. Some of these VHHs, such as E4-1 which target the aggregation region of Tau, have shown a strong inhibition effect on its aggregation in vitro. In collaboration with Hybrigenics services, we optimized the VHH E4-1 intro a new mutant Z70 that are actively expressed in cells. Interestingly, the optimized mutant Z70 displays better KD and better inhibition of the Tau aggregation in vitro than VHH E4-1. And expression of VHH Z70 in a cellular model of Tau seeding decreased its fluorescence-reported aggregation.Finally, we started preliminary studies in a mouse model of tauopathy. Intracranial injections of VHH E4-1 into the mice hippocampus lead to its diffuse localization in the hippocampus and its internalization into the cortex neurons, suggesting that the internalization is maybe specific to these neurons. Intraperitoneal injections showed that E4-1 is not localized in the mice brain and doesn’t seem to be able to cross the blood brain barrier. We then decided to adopt a novel strategy to study the therapeutic potential of the VHH Z70

Full textRegardless of its activity as guanine exchange factor (GEF), Ras disabling form GDP, RasGAP acts as a major effector of Ras in tumor cells involving new signaling pathways. The innovative approach to validate the inhibition of molecular interactions of the protein RasGAP is the selection of peptidic aptamers, which we have developed against its SH3 domain. We used a combinatorial approach of the peptide aptamer to select a collection of specific peptides against the RasGAP-SH3 domain. We have mapped the binding sites of aptamer in the presence of a SH3-RasGAP mutation system in yeast double hybrid (AptaPrint). We studied the biological effect of the RG 27 aptamer, which target a pocket bounded by residues D295/7, L313 and W317. This aptamer has anti-proliferative and anti-apoptotic effect which is not dependent on caspases in tumor cells. RG27 inhibits the RasGAP and Aurora B interactions. In the second part, we described SH3 domain of RasGAP as a new target and studied its interaction with the small common subunit ubiquitous calpains (Capns1). This small sub-unit is a partner in the SH3 domain of RasGAP. The interaction between RasGAP and Capns1 is highlighted by co-immunoprecipitation and RasGAP pull-down and confocal microscopy. We have precisely studied the migration of PC3 cells (Raswt) and PC3-RasV12, which expresses a stable oncogenic Ras that is mostly found in human cancers. The SH3-RasGAP/Capns1 complex is found increased by a factor of 2 in cells PC3-RasV12 protrusions in contrast to parental PC3. In this complex, siRNA RasGAP disrupts cell migration and apoptosis RasV12 harboring cells, indicating that RasGAP acts as effector of Ras
