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 …
DPLL with restarts linearly simulates CDCL
2019
If we give DPLL the ability to make restarts and to learn clauses representing the explored search space, it can linearly simulate CDCL solvers.
GAPDH, ntosak and cdc48, a conserved chaperone-like aaa-atpase, as nitric oxide targets in response to (a)biotic stresses

Study of the chaperone protein CDC48 and its involvement in plant immunity
2018
CDC48 is a conserved chaperone protein belonging to the AAA+ ATPase family (ATPase associated with various activities). This protein uses binding and hydrolysis of ATP to generate forces to affect the transformation of polypeptide substrate in numerous cellular processes. Studies on mammalian CDC48 orthologue revealed that it recognizes ubiquitylated polypeptides, directly or via partners, leading to substrate degradation or recycling. In plants, functions of CDC48 is less understood. The aim of my thesis, is to decipher the role of CDC48 in plant defense response context. First, I have to characterize NtCDC48 in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) suspension cells elicited by cryptogein, an elicit…

Correlation between cell line chemosensitivity and protein expression pattern as new approach for the design of targeted anticancer small molecules
2022
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE: Over the past few decades, several databases with a significant amount of biological data related to cancer cells and anticancer agents (e.g.: National Cancer Institute database, NCI; Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, CCLE; Genomic and Drug Sensitivity in Cancer portal, GDSC) have been developed. The huge amount of heterogeneous biological data extractable from these databanks (among all, drug response and protein expression) provides a real foundation for predictive cancer chemogenomics, which aims to investigate the relationships between genomic traits and the response of cancer cells to drug treatment with the aim to identify novel therapeutic molecules and targets…
GTPases of the Rho Subfamily Are Required for Brucella abortus Internalization in Nonprofessional Phagocytes
2001
Members of the genus Brucella are intracellular -Proteobacteria responsible for brucellosis, a chronic disease of humans and animals. Little is known about Brucella virulence mechanisms, but the abilities of these bacteria to invade and to survive within cells are decisive factors for causing disease. Transmission electron and fluorescence microscopy of infected nonprofessional phagocytic HeLa cells revealed minor membrane changes accompanied by discrete recruitment of F-actin at the site of Brucella abortus entry. Cell uptake of B. abortus was negatively affected to various degrees by actin, actin-myosin, and microtubule chemical inhibitors. Modulators of MAPKs and protein-tyrosine kinases…
Impact of amino acids 22-27 of Rho-subfamily GTPases on glucosylation by the large clostridial cytotoxins TcsL-1522, TcdB-1470 and TcdB-8864
1999
Here we report data describing some principles of the interaction between small GTP-binding proteins and large Clostridial cytotoxins (LCTs). Our investigation was based on the differential glucosylation of Rac1 versus RhoA by LCTs TcsL-1522, TcdB-1470 and TcdB-8864. Chimeric RhoA/Rac1 proteins and GTPases mutated at defined regions or single amino acids were used as substrates. Starting with chimeric Rac/Rho proteins we demonstrated that proteins containing the N-terminal 73 amino acids of Rac1 (but not those of RhoA) were efficiently glucosylated. Within this stretch, three regions differ significantly in Rac1 and RhoA. Regions containing amino acids 41-45 and 50-54 had no effect on toxin…
Integrin α2β1 Mediates Isoform-Specific Activation of p38 and Upregulation of Collagen Gene Transcription by a Mechanism Involving the α2 Cytoplasmic…
1999
Two collagen receptors, integrins alpha1beta1 and alpha2beta1, can regulate distinct functions in cells. Ligation of alpha1beta1, unlike alpha2beta1, has been shown to result in recruitment of Shc and activation of the Ras/ERK pathway. To identify the downstream signaling molecules activated by alpha2beta1 integrin, we have overexpressed wild-type alpha2, or chimeric alpha2 subunit with alpha1 integrin cytoplasmic domain in human osteosarcoma cells (Saos-2) lacking endogenous alpha2beta1. The chimeric alpha2/alpha1 chain formed a functional heterodimer with beta1. In contrast to alpha2/alpha1 chimera, forced expression of alpha2 integrin resulted in upregulation of alpha1 (I) collagen gene …
