Capsular polysaccharide restrains type VI secretion in Acinetobacter baumannii

Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Melanie Blokesch, Nicolas Olmo Flaugnatti, Loriane Bader

The type VI secretion system (T6SS) is a sophisticated, contact-dependent nanomachine involved in interbacterial competition. To function effectively, the T6SS must penetrate the membranes of both attacker and target bacteria. Structures associated with th ...

Lamellar Schwann Cells in the Pacinian Corpuscle Potentiate Vibration Perception

Graham Knott, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Jérôme Blanc

Pacinian corpuscles are among the most sensitive mechanoreceptors found in vertebrates, and they are tuned to vibrations in the highest perceptible frequency range (100 to 2000 Hz). One of their anatomical hallmarks is the onion-like cell layers surroundin ...

Differential role of C-terminal truncations on alpha-synuclein pathology and Lewy body formation

Graham Knott, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Anass Chiki, Nadine Aït Bouziad, Romain Hamelin, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Niran Maharjan, Melek Firat Altay, Jonathan Jean-Pierre Ricci, Somanath Jagannath, Galina Limorenko, Salvatore Novello, Yllza Jasiqi

Alpha-synuclein (aSyn) post-translational modifications (PTM), especially phosphorylation at serine 129 and C-terminal truncations, are highly enriched in Lewy bodies (LB), Lewy neurites, and other pathological aggregates in Parkinson's disease and synucle ...

Mechanisms of axoneme and centriole elimination in Naegleria gruberi

Graham Knott, Pierre Gönczy, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Coralie Busso, Gabriela Garcia Rodriguez, Alexander Woglar

The early branching eukaryote Naegleria gruberi can transform transiently from an amoeboid life form lacking centrioles and flagella to a flagellate life form where these elements are present, followed by reversion to the amoeboid state. The mechanisms imp ...

Centriole elimination during Caenorhabditis elegans oogenesis initiates with loss of the central tube protein SAS-1

Pierre Gönczy, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Coralie Busso, Tamara Mikeladze-Dvali, Marie Juliette Ségolène Pierron, Keshav Jha, Alexander Woglar

In most metazoans, centrioles are lost during oogenesis, ensuring that the zygote is endowed with the correct number of two centrioles, which are paternally contributed. How centriole architecture is dismantled during oogenesis is not understood. Here, we ...

Nuclear and cytoplasmic huntingtin inclusions exhibit distinct biochemical composition, interactome and ultrastructural properties

Graham Knott, Hilal Lashuel, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Niran Maharjan, Johannes Burtscher, Nathan Alain Denis Riguet

Despite the strong evidence linking the aggregation of the Huntingtin protein (Htt) to the pathogenesis of Huntington’s disease (HD), the mechanisms underlying Htt aggregation and neurodegeneration remain poorly understood. Herein, we investigated the ultr ...

Mitochondrial RNA granules are fluid condensates positioned by membrane dynamics

Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Suliana Manley, Timo Henry René Rey

Phase separation concentrates mitochondrial RNA granules. Here Rey et al., show that mitochondrial RNA granules (MRGs) behaviour is consistent with liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) and their fusion coincides with mitochondrial remodelling. Mitochondri ...

The process of Lewy body formation, rather than simply α-synuclein fibrillization, is one of the major drivers of neurodegeneration

Graham Knott, Hilal Lashuel, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Fabien Kuttler, Marion Leleu, Anne-Laure Mahul Mellier, Niran Maharjan, Johannes Burtscher, Laura Emmeline H Weerens

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by the accumulation of misfolded and aggregated α-synuclein (α-syn) into intraneuronal inclusions named Lewy bodies (LBs). Although it is widely believed that α-syn plays a central role in the pathogenesis of PD, t ...

Altered interplay between endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria in Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A neuropathy

Bernard Schneider, Cylia Cloé Rochat, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Manisha Juneja, Omar El Mansour, Catherine Maclachlan, Roman Chrast, Nathalie Marie Géraldine Bernard

Mutations in the MFN2 gene encoding Mitofusin 2 lead to the development of Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 2A (CMT2A), a dominant axonal form of peripheral neuropathy. Mitofusin 2 is localized at both the outer membrane of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticul ...

Centriolar CPAP/SAS-4 Imparts Slow Processive Microtubule Growth

Pierre Gönczy, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Nicola Jane Dynes, Ashwani Sharma

Centrioles are fundamental and evolutionarily conserved microtubule-based organelles whose assembly is characterized by microtubule growth rates that are orders of magnitude slower than those of cytoplasmic microtubules. Several centriolar proteins can int ...

NanoSIMS analysis of an isotopically labelled organometallic ruthenium(II) drug to probe its distribution and state in vitro

Kai Johnsson, Paul Joseph Dyson, Graham Knott, Mary-Claude Croisier-Coeytaux, Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig

The in vitro inter-and intra-cellular distribution of an isotopically labelled ruthenium(II)-arene (RAPTA) anti-metastatic compound in human ovarian cancer cells was imaged using nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS). Ultra-high resolution ...
