Reprogramming the B1 Domain of Streptococcal Protein G (GB1) : A Joint Theoretical and Experimental Investigation

Esra Bozkurt

Nature has the ability to cope with extreme pH, temperature and pressure, in addition to bestowing a wide array of functionalities to (bio)macromolecules. These specialized skills have attracted the interest of vast scientific communities especially in vie ...

The mouse genome displays highly dynamic populations of KRAB-zinc finger protein genes and related genetic units

Didier Trono, Julien Léonard Duc, Gabriela Ecco, Marco Cassano, Annamaria Kauzlaric, Michaël Imbeault

KRAB-containing poly-zinc finger proteins (KZFPs) constitute the largest family of transcription factors encoded by mammalian genomes, and growing evidence indicates that they fulfill functions critical to both embryonic development and maintenance of adul ...

KRAB zinc finger proteins

Didier Trono, Gabriela Ecco, Michaël Imbeault

Kruppel-associated box domain zinc finger proteins (KRAB-ZFPs) are the largest family of transcriptional regulators in higher vertebrates. Characterized by an N-terminal KRAB domain and a C-terminal array of DNA-binding zinc fingers, they participate, toge ...

Nanomechanics of multidomain neuronal cell adhesion protein contactin revealed by single molecule AFM and SMD

Giovanni Dietler, Andrzej Kulik, Karolina Anna Mikulska Ruminska

Contactin-4 (CNTN4) is a complex cell adhesion molecule (CAM) localized at neuronal membranes, playing a key role in maintaining the mechanical integrity and signaling properties of the synapse. CNTN4 consists of six immunoglobulin C2 type (IgC2) domains a ...

Versatile Tool for the Analysis of Metal-Protein Interactions Reveals the Promiscuity of Metallodrug-Protein Interactions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Laure Menin, Luc Patiny

Metallodrug protein interactions contribute to their therapeutic effect (even when DNA is the dominant target), side-effects and are implicit in drug resistance. Here, we provide mass spectrometric-based evidence to show that metallodrug interactions with ...

A map of human PRDM9 binding provides evidence for novel behaviors of PRDM9 and other zinc-finger proteins in meiosis

Michaël Imbeault

PRDM9 binding localizes almost all meiotic recombination sites in humans and mice. However, most PRDM9-bound loci do not become recombination hotspots. To explore factors that affect binding and subsequent recombination outcomes, we mapped human PRDM9 bind ...

SMiLE-seq identifies binding motifs of single and dimeric transcription factors

Didier Trono, Giovanna Ambrosini, Bart Deplancke, Philipp Bucher, Romain Fernand Pietro Groux, Riccardo Dainese, Daniel Alpern, Michaël Imbeault, Alina Isakova, Pernille Yde Rainer

Resolving the DNA-binding specificities of transcription factors (TFs) is of critical value for understanding gene regulation. Here, we present a novel, semiautomated protein-DNA interaction characterization technology, selective microfluidics-based ligand ...

LRSAM1-mediated ubiquitylation is disrupted in axonal Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 2P

Vincenzo Sorrentino

Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease type 2 is a genetically heterogeneous group of inherited neuropathies characterized by motor and sensory deficits as a result of peripheral axonal degeneration. We recently reported a frameshift (FS) mutation in the Really ...

The evolution of gene expression and binding specificity of the largest transcription factor family in primates

Didier Trono, Jeffrey David Jensen, Adamantia Kapopoulou, Lisha Mathew

The KRAB-containing zinc finger (KRAB-ZF) proteins represent the largest family of transcription factors (TFs) in humans, yet for the great majority, their function and specific genomic target remain unknown. However, it has been shown that a large fractio ...
