Method and system for determining intracellular mediators' activity

Philippe Renaud, Horst Arthur Vogel, Thamani Dahoun, Margaux Catherine Marie Duchamp, Marc Brugarolas Campillos

A method for determining the presence of a molecule coupled to the cytoplasmic side of a cellular membrane is disclosed. The method is implemented in a microfluidic setting and is particularly suitable for determining the presence and/or the activity of a ...

Significance of Receptor Mobility in Multivalent Binding on Lipid Membranes

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Diana Kornelia Morzy

Numerous key biological processes rely on the concept of multivalency, where ligands achieve stable binding only upon engaging multiple receptors. These processes, like viral entry or immune synapse formation, occur on the diffusive cellular membrane. One ...

J-domain protein chaperone circuits in proteostasis and disease

Paolo De Los Rios, Duccio Malinverni

The J-domain proteins (JDP) form the largest protein family among cellular chaperones. In cooperation with the Hsp70 chaperone system, these co-chaperones orchestrate a plethora of distinct functions, including those that help maintain cellular proteostasi ...

Primary data for EPFL thesis "Metabolic regulation of cytokinesis in Schizosaccharomyces pombe"

Özge Uysal Özdemir

All cells need to be able to sense their environment, and adapt their metabolism, growth and cell division appropriately. In this study, I examined the response of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to a change in the carbon source and how that affects cytokinesis. ...

Rational design of protein switches: applications in synthetic biology and cancer immunotherapy

Sailan Shui

Synthetic biology aims to engineer cells as miniature biological devices to sense, process, and respond to exogenous stimuli. Protein switches are designed to sense and respond to various molecular queues in a fast and specific manner, which fits the requi ...

Regulation of Src tumor activity by its N-terminal intrinsically disordered region

Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand

The membrane-anchored Src tyrosine kinase is involved in numerous pathways and its deregulation is involved in human cancer. Our knowledge on Src regulation relies on crystallography, which revealed intramolecular interactions to control active Src conform ...

Phosphorylation of α-synuclein is crucial in compensating for proteasomal dysfunction

Hilal Lashuel

α-Synuclein can be degraded by both the ubiquitin-proteasomal system and the chaperone-lysosomal system. However, the switching mechanism between the two pathways is not clearly understood. In our study, we investigated the mutual association between the b ...

How Vibrio cholerae adapts to the environment: from cell shape transitions to antagonistic behavior

Leonardo Filipe Lemos Rocha

The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, which affects millions of people every year. Apart from being a human pathogen, V. cholerae is also a common member of aquatic habitats. Whilst the mechanism that allow ...
