Binding properties and stability of the Ras-association domain of Rap1-GTP interacting adapter molecule (RIAM).
2012
The Rap1-GTP interacting adapter protein (RIAM) is an important protein in Rap1-mediated integrin activation. By binding to both Rap1 GTPase and talin, RIAM recruits talin to the cell membrane, thus facilitating talin-dependent integrin activation. In this article, we studied the role of the RIAM Ras-association (RA) and pleckstrin-homology (PH) domains in the interaction with Rap1. We found that the RA domain was sufficient for GTP-dependent interaction with Rap1B, and the addition of the PH domain did not change the binding affinity. We also detected GTP-independent interaction of Rap1B with the N-terminus of RIAM. In addition, we found that the PH domain stabilized the RA domain both in …

cIAP1 oncogenic properties analysis : contribution of its partners cdc42 and E2F1
2014
The inhibitor of apoptosis protein cIAP1 (cellular inhibitor of apoptosis protein-1) from the IAP family (Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein) is an oncogene with an E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. cIAP1 is relocalized from the nucleus to the cytoplasm during the differentiation of many kind of cellular models (macrophages, dendritic cells, colon epithelial cells, hematopoietic stem cells, cardiomyocytes) and this relocalization is associated with a proliferation arrest. The well-known functions of cIAP1 are associated with its cytoplasmic localization, where it regulates the TNFa receptors and NF-?B signaling pathways. However, cIAP1 is mainly expressed in the nucleus on many cell types which is …
Analysis of E2F1 by clAP1
2017
The cellular inhibitor of Apoptosis 1 (cIAP1) behaves as an E3 ubiquitin ligase and has oncogenic properties. Previously, our team has shown that cIAP1 can regulate the E2F1 transcription factor activity. My research project has been focused on deepening our current knowledge on this interaction. Firstly, we characterized the E2F1-cIAP1 interaction, then we analyzed the regulation of E2F1 by cIAP1 and finally assessed the importance of the cIAP1-E2F1 interaction for the oncogenic properties of cIAP1. I have demonstrated a interaction of E2F1 with the hydrophobic pocket of the BIR3 domain of cIAP1. Moreover, I highlighted that the alpha 1 helix of the BIR3 domain is mandatory for the stabili…
Role of heat shock protein HSP90 and HSP70 in macrophagic differentiation
2010
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones whose expression is increased after many different stresses. They have a protective function helping the cell to cope with lethal conditions. These proteins play an essential role as molecular chaperones by assisting the correct folding of nascent and stress-accumulated misfolded proteins and by preventing their aggregation. My team is interested in understanding the roles of HSPs in two physiological related processes: apoptosis and cell differentiation. The aim of my work is to study the functions of HSP90 and HSP70 in macrophagic differentiation. I first studied the role of HSP90 in macrophagic differentiation. We previously reported th…

Novel Insights into the Cellular Localization and Regulation of the Autophagosomal Proteins LC3A, LC3B and LC3C
2020
Macroautophagy is a conserved degradative process for maintaining cellular homeostasis and plays a key role in aging and various human disorders. The microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B light chain 3B (MAP1LC3B or LC3B) is commonly analyzed as a key marker for autophagosomes and as a proxy for autophagic flux. Three paralogues of the LC3 gene exist in humans: LC3A, LC3B and LC3C. The molecular function, regulation and cellular localization of LC3A and LC3C have not been investigated frequently, even if a similar function to that described for LC3B appears likely. Here, we have selectively decapacitated LC3B by three separate strategies in primary human fibroblasts and analyzed the evoked e…
Nuevos modelos y mecanismos moleculares en la enfermedad de Charcot-Marie-Tooth causada por mutaciones en GDAP1
2017
Uno de los genes implicados en la enfermedad de Charcot Marie Tooth, una neuropatia periferica hereditaria, es GDAP1, que codifica para una proteina anclada a la membrana mitocondrial externa. El gen de Drosophila CG4623 es el ortologo de GDAP1 humano, y lo hemos renombrado como Gdap1. La sobreexpresion y silenciamiento de Gdap1, de manera tejido especifica, provoca una degeneracion neuronal y muscular. Ademas, se observan alteraciones en el tamano, morfologia y distribucion mitocondrial. El estudio de diferentes aspectos moleculares indica que los cambios en el estres oxidativo solo ocurren a largo plazo y no son una causa primaria. El estudio metabolomico a traves de la resonancia magneti…
Modelo celular a partir de iPSC de la enfermedad Charcot-Marie-Tooth causada por la ausencia de GDAP1
2021
La enfermedad de Charcot-Marie-Tooth es una polineuropatía hereditaria motora y sensorial de carácter crónico. Su origen multifactorial y poligénico, su complejo fenotipo clínico y la variedad en sus patrones de herencia genética hacen de ella una dolencia de difícil estudio. Por este motivo es necesario un abordaje multidisciplinar para comprender y desvelar las causas subyacentes a la patología. En esta tesis doctoral, se desarrolla un modelo celular in vitro generado a partir de iPSC murinas para comprender mejor el fenotipo celular y molecular de la dolencia causada por ausencia de GDAP1 en humanos. Mutaciones en Gdap1, el gen que codifica para una proteína localizada en la membrana mit…
