Full textEach aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalyze the esterification of its cognate amino acid to the 3'-end of its cognate tRNA(s). Some aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) catalyze the amino acid activation step only in the presence of a cognate tRNA. This behaviour has been studied in Arginyl-tRNA synthetase (ArgRS) from hamster. Our results show that three contact points with the tRNA molecule are important in the activation step : bases A76, A20 and C35. These three bases must be presented by a tRNA possessing both rigidity (intact " L " shape) and flexibility (provided by G-U base-pairs). We conclude that the triggering of the activation step in ArgRS implies an induced-fit mechanism. Enzymes from the multi-aaRSs complex found in higher eukaryotes display additional basic domains, some of them interacting with tRNAs. We show that these domains increase the affinity of the enzymes of the complex for their specific tRNAs only. Thus, the catalytic body of each enzyme determines its specificity, while the additionnal basic domains increase the affinity of the enzymes for their specific tRNA(s). The p43 protein, a component of the complex able to interact with tRNAs and ArgRS, does not affect the catalytic parameters of this enzyme. Crystals of a short form of the p43 protein have been obtained and the structure has been solved by molecular replacement, but the N-terminal residues, that are responsible for the interaction with tRNAs, are not visible. Conditions for the isolation of the multi-aaRSs complex have been refined in order to carry out a structural study using cryo-electron microscopy and crystallography

Full textChromatin dynamics play a central role in developmental control, cell differentiation or responses of the organisms to environment. In animals, Polycomb group proteins are involved in the establishment of silent chromatin states. In plants, recent data suggest that LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 (LHP1) participates to a Polycomb-like complex. We focused on LHP1 complexes by studying one of its partners, LHP1 INTERACTING FACTOR 2 (LIF2). The aim of this thesis was to pursue the characterization of LIF2. LIF2 is composed of RNA-binding domains, suggesting the participation of an RNA component in LHP1 complexes. We have searched for LIF2 RNA-ligands and studied LIF2/RNA interactions with different approaches including Biacore technology. By analyzing the transcriptome profile of lif2, we have noticed an enrichment for genes involved in responses to abiotic and biotic stresses stimuli. We investigated the LIF2 functions in response to pathogens infection and we have been able to highlight that LIF2 plays a role in plant innate immunity and is essential to negatively regulate defense responses in the absence of pathogens

Full textCELF1 is an ubiquitous and multifunctional RNA-binding protein, involved in the epost-transcriptional regulations of the genetic expression. Male mice that are inactivated for the Celf1 gene (Celf1⁻/⁻) display a hypofertility associated with defects of the spermiogenesis, the elongation of post-meiotic cells. We show here that these defects appear from the first wave of the spermatogenesis in the prepubescent animal, and are associated to a delay of the development of Celf1⁻/⁻ mice. At the adult, males present a decreased testosterone level. The elongation of the round spermatid being strongly dependent on the testosterone, we supposed that the defects of spermiogenesis are due to this hypotestosteronemia. We validated this hypothesis by a supplementation in testosterone of Celf1⁻/⁻ mice. We showed that the decreased testosterone level of Celf1⁻/⁻ mice is associated with an overexpression of the Cyp19al gene, encoding for the aromatase, an enzyme that converted androgens into estrogens. CELF1 interacts in vivo with the Cypl19al mRNA. These data indicate that CELF1 represses the expression of the aromatase by destabilizing its mRNA to the wild-type mice, and that the hypotestosteronemia in Celf1⁻/⁻ mice is due at least in part to a loss of this repression. The aromatase being strongly expressed in the Leydig cells, we supposed that this deregulation takes place mainly in these cells. We thus generated a conditional inactivation of Celf1⁻/⁻ in the Leydig cells to confirm it

Full textIn honey bee (Apis mellifera) societies, the queen controls the development and the caste status of the hive members. The queen bee secretes a pheromonal blends comprising ten or more components, mainly hydrophobic. These components act on the workers and male, eliciting a large range of social or sexual responses. Some of them are captured in the antennal lymph and transported to the receptor by the means of pheromone binding proteins (PBP), and elicit, after a cascade of molecular events, signal transduction at the axon membrane level. We have determined the structures of the main antennal PBP identified in workers and male honey bees (ASP1) without ligand, in complex with the main component of the queen mandibular blend, and with non pheromonal components at different pH. At acidic pH, the structure is a monomer, where the binding site integrity depends on the C-terminus conformation and the interplay of two factors: the ligand and pH. Contrary to the ASP1 structure at low pH, ASP1 structure crystallized at pH 7. 0 is a domainswapped dimer with one or two ligands per monomer. This dimerization depends on the nature of a unique residue, Asp 35, since Asn or Ala mutants remain monomeric at pH 7. 0, as does native ASP1 at pH 4. 0. Asp35, however, is conserved in only ~30% of medium chains PBPs, and is replaced by other residues such as Asn, Ala or Ser (and others), excluding thus that they may perform domain swapping. Therefore, these different medium-chains PBPs, as well as PBPs from moths, very likely exhibit different mechanisms of ligand release and receptor recognition

Nous avons tout d'abord montre que la sequence consensus de liaison a l'adn de c-abl ne correspondait pas a l'element ep, mais que celui-ci etait par contre reconnu par la proteine c-myb. De plus, la proteine c-myb active la transcription a partir de l'enhancer hbv par fixation sur ep et en cooperation avec la proteine nf-m interagissant sur l'element e de l'enhancer hbv.

Toutefois, le domaine de liaison a l'adn de c-abl n'est pas capable de tordre sa sequence cible, contrairement aux proteines hmg, mais semble etre capable de separer les deux brins de la double helice.

Full textSpam-1 is a sperm surface protein that would help the spermatozoa going through the cumulus, disrupting the hyaluronan around the egg. It would also have a role to play in the secondary binding of the spermatozoa to the zona pellucida of the oocyte. The aim of the present study, by the construction of various fluorescent recombinant proteins containing the sequences of the different domains of Spam-1, is to clearly demonstrate that bovine spermatic Spam-1 protein is directly implicated in the secondary binding of the spermatozoa to the zona pellucida and to show that the C-terminal domain is implicated. The results of this study are going to determine the importance of Spam-1 in the spermatozoa binding to the zona pellucida and in getting a better understanding of the mechanisms surrounding the interactions between spermatozoa and oocyte.

Full textThe RNA binding protein CUGBP1 is involved in regulation of alternative splicing, mRNA stability and translation. These functions appear conserved across evolution and may lead to pathological conditions in situations of CUGBP1 gain or loss of function. In order to determine the real extent of the regulations by CUGBP1 we realised two different studies aimed at identifying the targets for CUGBP1. First, based on an in silico approaches, we identify the mRNA encoding the protein CD9 as a direct target for CUGBP1-mediated regulation. In the second study I developed a Cross-link ImmunoPrecipitation procedure for CUGBP1 in human cells and identified the in vivo binding sites and targets by SOLiD deep sequencing. The in vivo binding sites identified allow us to present a genome wide landscape of CUGBP1 binding targets. These targets are potentially dis-regulated in loss of function for CUGBP1. The binding sites identified should allow us to refine the prediction algorithms for CUGBP1 binding sites thereby permitting the identification of the CUGBP1 target in any cellular context. This approach may prove especially useful in conditions where CUGBP1 is either misexpressed or mislocalized

Full textIn order to study the part played by ABP1 protein during plant development, conditional mutants have been generated. A cellular immunization approach was chosen. It consists in expressing a scFv (a kind of mini antibody) directed against the protein with an antagonist action. Some results had already been achived in the lab through this method, showing that BY2 cells expressing this scFv are not able to perform cell cycle anymore. The scFv expression and an antisens RNA for ABP1 have been placed under the control of an ethanol inducible promoter in Arabidopsis thaliana. Several independant lines have been generated for each construction and show the same phenotype. Whenever the scFv or antisens are expressed it causes severe growth defect in the plant and leads to alteration of gravitropism, phototropism, primary root growth, lateral root formation, aerial organs growth and sterility. Comparison of those phenotypes with already known auxin mutants and apparition kinetics of auxin induced genes expression in those plants have led to the identification of modifications in key auxin-related genes expression. A strong link has also been demonstrated between ABP1 and cell cycle in root tip, lateral root primordia and aerial organs. This link has been confirmed by cell cycle-related transcript quantification. Those results highlight the strong link between ABP1, cell cycle control and plant development. The conditional mutant lines for ABP1 thus generated are a unique material for a better understanding of ABP1’s role in auxin signaling in plant

Full textRecent studies have shown that post-transcriptional regulatory mechanisms play essential roles in axon growth and guidance, processes involved in the establishment of neuronal circuits during development. To study these mechanisms in vivo, my project aimed at characterizing the role of the RNA-binding protein Hrp48, which belongs to the conserved hnRNP A/B family. I showed that inactivating hrp48 function leads to strong and specific axon migration defects, including axon misguidance and overextension. Notably, I have observed that the frequency of hrp48 mutant phenotypes is much higher in females than in males. Moreover, I showed that the female-specific Sex-lethal protein ectopically accumulates in the nucleus of mutant cells. This abnormal nuclear accumulation could explain the sex-specific defects observed in axonal migration. In parallel, I could show that inactivation of sema-1α, an Hrp48 putative mRNA target, causes defects similar to those observed in hrp48 mutants, and that hrp48 and sema-1 α genetically interact. Moreover, the overall levels of sema-1 α transcripts are much lower in females than in males. These results suggest that sema-1 α misregulation may induce the sex-specific defects in axonal growth observe upon hrp48 downregulation. Tis work has allowed us to propose a preliminary in vivo model for a post-transcriptional regulatory mechanism controlled by a member of the hnRNP A/B family. Furthermore, it has revealed cryptic differences between females and males in the context of recent studies revealing sex-specific differences in the control of gene expression

Full textPost-transcriptional controls of gene expression play key roles in cell life. These controls require RNA-binding proteins such as CUG-BP1 which is involved in the regulation of alternative splicing and mRNA stability. To elucidate the role of CUG-BP1 in mammalian development, mice inactivated for this/ /gene were obtained by homologous recombination. Most /Cugbp1/^-/- males exhibited impaired fertility due to a partial to total arrest of spermatogenesis. We have shown that testosterone production was strongly reduced in these males. The molecular causes for this decrease are unknown but it could explain the male sterility. In /Xenopus leavis/, inhibiting CUGBP1 function led to severe defects in somitic segmentation. Somitic segmentation relies on the oscillating expression of a subset of genes, “the clock”, and on gradients of signalling proteins that finely position the determination front. We have designed a new tool, an antisense oligonucleotide that masks the binding site of the RNA-BP CUGBP1 on Su(H), a CUG-BP1 mRNA target that encodes a key component of the Notch signalling. This masking derepressed Su(H) mRNA and lead to Su(H) overexpression and a concomitant loss of somatic segmentation, probably due to a deregulation of Notch signalling already known to be involved in gene expression oscillations. Here we show that Notch signalling controls the crosstalk between the RA and FGF pathways, allowing the correct positioning of the front. This new role of Notch signalling in somitic segmentation could be conserved among vertebrates

Full textThe RNA binding-protein MEX-3 is a post-transcriptional regulator involved in early embryogenesis of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. We have recently reported the characterization of a novel family of four mammalian genes homologous to hMex-3 (called hMex-3A, 3B, 3C and 3D). To gain insight into the biological functions of these proteins in vivo, we disrupted the Mex-3B gene in mice. Using this experimental approach, we found that Mex-3B is as a major regulator of spermatogenesis. We observed that male Mex-3B null mice hypofertile and present an obstruction of seminiferous epithelium. Phagocytic properties of Sertoli cells were impaired, thus impeding the clearance of residual bodies released during spermiogenesis. Exploration of the underlying molecular mechanisms revealed that Mex-3B regulates phagocytosis through the activation and the transport at the peripheral membrane of Rap1GAP, a protein that downregulates the small G protein Rap1. Consistently, the Rap1-dependent recruitment of the junction proteins, connexin 43 and N-Cadherin at the cell surface was compromised in Mex-3B deficient mice. In conclusion, my work highlights a key role gor Mex-3B in the spatial control of Rap1 signaling during spermatogenesis

Full textUnr (upstream of N-ras) is a cytoplasmic RNA-binding protein with cold shock domains, involved in regulation of messenger RNA stability and translation. Unr is essential to mouse development since Embryos deficient for Unr die at mid-gestation. Here we report that unr knockout ES cells maintained under growth conditions that sustain self-renewal spontaneously differentiate toward the primitive endoderm (PrE) lineage. This phenotype was reproduced in another ES line (E14tg2a) after shRNA-induced Unr depletion. Moreover, Unr rescue in Unr-deficient ES cells limits their PrE differentiation engagement. However, Unr is dispensable for multilineage differentiation, as shown by knockout ES cells capacity to produce differentiated teratomas. We further investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying the differentiation of unr-/- ES to primitive endoderm, and found that Unr acts downstream of Nanog. Our data also show Gata6 mRNAs are more stable in Unr-deficient ES cells as compared to wild-type ES cells. We propose that the possible repression by Unr of this key inducer of PrE differentiation at a post-transcriptional level may contributes to the stabilization of ES cells pluripotent state

Full textMaintenance of genome integrity is essential for cell survival. It is only recently that RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) have been shown as fundamental actors in this process. In the presence of DNA damage, RBPs regulate the expression of DNA damage response (DDR) related genes and control cell fate. RBPs also have a more direct role in preventing and repairing DNA damage. Moreover, some RNAs are present at sites of DNA damage and, thus, participate in the maintenance of genome integrity. The laboratory is interested in proteins that are both able to directly bind RNA and involved in DDR. One candidate is the 53BP1 protein (p53 binding protein 1) that contains an RNA-binding domain called GAR domain (Glycin-Arginin Rich). 53BP1 is a key protein mediating the signalling of DNA double-strand breaks and channels DNA repair to the non-homologous end-joining pathway during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The recruitment of 53BP1 to sites of DNA damage depends on both histones marks and an RNA component.The objective was to study the interaction between 53BP1 and RNA.By using CLIP (CrossLinking and Immunoprecipitation) and 2C (Complex Capture) technologies, we showed that 53BP1 presents a direct RNA-binding activity within its GAR domain. We identified the nucleic acid interacting with 53BP1 as being an RNA-DNA chimera composed of about 10 ribonucleotides, followed by about 100 dexoribonucleotides. This type of entity is highly similar to that of Okazaki fragments, that are involved in the initiation of lagging strand synthesis at replication forks. By using the SIRF method (In Situ Protein Interaction with Nascent DNA Replication Forks), we showed that 53BP1 is localized at sites of newly synthetized DNA, under normal conditions of replication. Furthermore, depletion of the catalytic sub-unit of the primase (PRIM1), that catalyzes the synthesis of the RNA primer of Okazaki fragments, results in a decrease in 53BP1 at sites of newly synthetized DNA. PRIM1 depletion also decreases the interaction between 53BP1 and RNA-DNA chimera in vivo. These results indicate that 53BP1 is localized at the replication fork through a direct interaction with Okazaki fragments. Likewise, under replicative stress induced by hydroxyurea, the presence of 53BP1 at the newly synthetized DNA is increased, indicating that 53BP1 accumulates at stalled replication forks. Altogether, these results show that 53BP1 is an RNA-binding protein that directly interacts with Okazaki fragments

Full textAn important objective of mammalian telomere biology is to understand the multiple roles of the telomeric DNA binding protein TRF2 in mediationg telomere protection and higher-order folding of telomeric DNA and chromatin. We address here the question of the mechanisms by which TRF2 controls homologous recombination. Previous work showed that the N-terminal basic domain couteracts intra-telomere recombination events and inhibits in vitro the cleavage of a telomeric Holiday junction by various resolvases. In this work, we demonstrate that the expression in human cells of a point mutation abolishing the anti-resolvase activity of TRF2 leads to brutal telomere shortening events, recapitulating the phenotype of cells expressing a truncated form of TRF2 devoid of the N-terminal basic domain. Next we designed a human telomere recombination in budding yeasts, which have been humanized thanks to a template mutation in the telomerase RNA gene. Despite the absence of clear TRF2 in yeast recapitulates their recombinational activity : the wild-type protein decreases the rate of recombination while TRF2 increase it. We propose that TRF2 serves as a molecular switch for homologous recombination in order to adapt telomere to the different modes of telomere maintenantce systems that are activated in reponse to cell cycle changes, DNA damage, proliferation signals, differentiation and malignant transformation

Full textMorphine is one of the most used analgesics in hospitals to relieve acute and chronic pain. Morphine exerts its analgesic effects by binding central and peripheral μ opioid receptors (MORs) and has many side effects that limit its long-term use including tolerance. The first part of my thesis was aimed to study the phenomenon of morphine tolerance and to determine the underlying mechanisms. Previously, this phenomenon was explained as resulting !rom MORs desensitization by endocytosis. However, our results show that in case of tolerance, the catabolism of morphine is exacerbated in the central nervous system in particular in astocytes. The second part of my work has focused on the characterization of the Creatine Kinase (CK) as a novel protein that binds morphine with a high affinity. Our results showed that CK has two binding sites with a similar affinity for morphine. Surprisingly, by studying the potential effect of CK on morphine-induced analgesia in vivo, we noticed that the two peptides corresponding to morphine binding sites are analgesics and such analgesia seems to be mediated by opioid receptors

Full textPost-transcriptional regulation of gene expression is based on a complex and dynamic network of RNA-proteins interactions. A major challenge is to understand the precise contribution of these RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) to each step of mRNA metabolism. During this thesis, we have characterized new functions of the EB2 viral RBP which is essential for the production of the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Previous works have shown that EB2 promotes cytoplasmic accumulation of most intronless viral mRNAs. Here, we show that EB2 is not just an mRNA export factor because this RBP also stabilizes its target mRNAs in the nucleus by protecting them from RNA exosome degradation. Our results indicate that in the absence of EB2 : (i) some viral mRNAs are unstable because they contain cryptic splice sites ; (ii) the splicing factor SRSF3 destabilizes these mRNAs by interacting with both the RNA exosome and the Nuclear EXosome Targeting (NEXT) complex. Moreover, we also show that EB2 is associated with polysomes and it strongly stimulates translation of its target mRNAs through interactions with the eIF4G and PABP initiation factors. Interestingly, the development of a new in vitro translational assay allowed us to show that EB2’s translation stimulation requires that EB2 binds its target mRNAs in the nucleus. Taken together, our works demonstrate the key function of a viral RBP in the coordination of the nuclear and cytoplasmic steps of mRNA biogenesis

Full textEstradiol is one of the hormones secreted by the ovaries. Not only involved in sexual development of women, this hormone would also have a significant role in carcinogenesis. Indeed estradiol acts as growth factor in cancer and this is why anti-hormone therapy is effective in breast cancer. In this project we investigated how a single molecule can be so diverse with respect to modulating certain cofactors and thus altering gene expression. Estradiol acts on DNA by recruiting the estrogen receptor on the hormone responsive elements. The binding of estrogen to its receptor induces a conformation change on the receptor which mediates the recruitment of co-activators. Coactivators such as CARM1 and CBP which are major epigenetic enzymes are recruited on estrogen target genes. Although this mechanism was known, the functional significance of recruiting a HAT and a methyltrasferase was still impending. In my thesis, I have shown that CBP is specifically and exclusively methylated by CARM1 in vivo and that there are several combinations of methyl CBP species which recruit and regulate distinct gene hubs in estrogen signaling. For the first time we define a “code for coactivator modifications”, which is involved in endocrine response and could be deregulated in tumor progression in breast cancer. These results identify the cross regulation between the two epigenetic enzymes CARM1 and CBP as a pivotal response to estrogen and reveal for the first time a distinct mechanism by which estrogen target genes are regulated

Full textMalaria and sepsis are widespread infectious diseases causing hundreds of thousands deaths each year. There is a growing body of evidence for a genetic control of malaria and sepsis resistance. Both diseases are considered close because they are characterized by a systemic inflammation, some common organ dysfunctions, and disorders of coagulation. In order to identify new genes potentially involved in disease resistance, we performed genomewide genetic studies in two populations living in endemic regions for Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Burkina-Faso and in a cohort of septic shock patients. Genetic linkage studies revealed significant genetic linkages on chromosome 6p21.3 and 17p12 with, respectively, mild malaria and asymptomatic parasitaemia. We also performed the first genetic linkage studies concerning immunoglobulin G and their sub-classes against Plasmodium falciparum antigens. We detected significant linkages of IgG3 sub-class with chromosomes 8p22-p21 and 20q13 and between IgG4 sub-class and chromosome 9q34. Finally we performed the first two genomewide association studies identifying significant associations with all-causes mortality after a septic shock. We identified 32 SNPs significantly associated with early mortality and 108 SNPs significantly associated with late mortality. We identified a protein-protein network containing proteins associated with both early and late mortality. Furthermore, the network of protein-protein interactions involving proteins encoded by associated genes allowed us to establish a list of some altered functions during septic shock, most of them being related to the immune responses or the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

Full textThe Myb proteins are transcription factors able to control the differentiation and the cellular proliferation. There is not any doubt today that the important activities of the Myb proteins are determined by their functional domains. Multidimensional heteronucléaire NMR spectroscopy has been used to study the minimal v-Myb DNA binding domain (R2R3 v-Myb) in solution. We assigned 103 of 105 residues of this protein. Using the secondary structural effects, we could estimate the helicoidals regions of this protein. As for all the Myb proteins structurally studied until now, the R3 repetition of this protein present indeed three alpha helix between residues Glutamate 62 - Leucine 75, Tryptophane 79 - Lysine 84, Thréonine 91 - Sérine 100. But the R2 repeat of this protein seems to have a structuring different that already observed for other proteins Myb (C-Myb human/chicken and B-Myb chicken). Theses proteins contain a multiple conformational structure in C-Terminal of this domain whereas our study show an effective helix ? in this region. This result had already been observed for the protein C-Myb mouse and the v-Myb structure would approach more the structure of this protein. It would seem that the structure does not explain the differences in biological activities observed for v-Myb compared to the other proteins Myb (in particular C-Myb mouse)

Full textOne of the characteristics of cancer cells lies in the modification of their ability to adapt to various stresses compared to healthy cells. The afferent modulation of gene expression can occur at two levels: transcriptional and post-transcriptional. Most of the efforts for understanding the gene expression process are focused on transcriptional regulation study. However, a quick and effective way to modify gene expression is the ability to regulate the "mRNA pool" by intervening in post-transcriptional level. Besides, changes in mRNA stability and/or translation efficiency in a context such as cellular stress in tumors and interactions involving RNA / protein are increasingly studied in the case of cancers. A deeper knowledge of these mechanisms will allow a better understanding of 1 / the involvement of RNA binding proteins (RBP) in tumor development and the 2 / the consideration of the development of targeted cancer therapies. We focused on the study of a relevant RBP for cancer development process, but very few studies have been undertaken on this issue: the Staufen1 protein (Stau1). Stau1 is a family member of double-stranded RNA-binding proteins. This RBP contributes to the post-transcriptional regulation of many genes through its involvement in mechanisms that will promote the transport, the derepression of translation and the induction of degradation of specific RNA transcripts (mRNA). Stau1 also appears as a regulator of specific genes expressed in respond to cellular stress induced by an unfavorable tumor microenvironment. The transcripts regulated by Stau1 can be divided into a wide range of functional categories. Interestingly, a large proportion of Stau1 targets encode proteins which regulate many critical biological cell processes in cancer development. Regarding Stau1 regulatory role and its involvement in the response to cellular stress, we made assumptions that the modification of Stau1 expression could have an impact on various levels of development and tumor progression. This project will be considered from two aspects 1/ the study of Stau1 expression under cellular stress 2/ the impact of Stau1 repression on tumor development

Full textOdorant molecules, generally hydrophobic, activate the olfactory receptors (OR) embedded in the membrane of sensitive neurons which are covered with an aqueous layer of mucus. It was proposed that odorant-binding proteins, named OBP, transport odorants through olfactory mucus towards OR. In this work we studied a human OBP variant, hOBP-2A, which has a narrow specificity for aliphatic aldehydes and acids. Using site directed mutagenesis, we demonstrated the fundamental role, in this specificity, of a lysin located in the hydrophobic cavity of hOBP-2A. The functional expression of an olfactory receptor, OR1G1, revealed an activation of this receptor by some compounds that bind to hOBP-2A. Study of the activation of OR1G1 with and without hOBP-2A revealed that hOBP-2A did not have impact on OR1G1 activity. One cannot however exclude the possibility that the OBP is involved in other biological processes than odorants transport

Full textAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease without any cure. The prevalence of ALS accounts for 2.5 to 3 cases per 100.000 inhabitants. This thesis work is devoted to TDP-43, an RNA-binding protein involved in ALS and found in cytoplasmic inclusions of neurons and motor neurons from ALS patients. The targets of TDP-43 are primarily GU-rich RNA sequences. In physiological conditions, TDP-43 localizes predominantly in the nucleus. The functions of this protein are associated to the splicing of messenger RNAs as well as the maturation and transport of RNAs. TDP-43 is also involved in the neuronal plasticity and in the formation of membrane-less compartments called “liquid-liquid phases” through the formation of stress granules (SGs). While the high-order TDP-43 self-assembly by its structured N-terminal (NTD) and the intrinsically disordered C-terminal domains (CTD) has been extensively studied, the role of the RRM domains responsible for the RNA binding remains unaddressed. Therefore, the mechanism dissecting the role of high-order TDP-43/RNA complexes in maintaining TDP-43 functional, in normal and pathological conditions, needs to be investigated.Through an integrative approach, we undertook an in-deep study regarding the TDP-43 binding on long poly-GU sequences which are found in the intronic regions of many TDP-43 target pre-mRNAs. We have shown that TDP-43 binds on poly-GU targets in a cooperative manner by self-assembling into multimers. A 3D structural model has been also obtained which highlights an interaction interface between deux monomeric TDP-43 units leading to the protein multimerization. This intermolecular interface involves a pocket centered around the V220 residue, located in the RRM2 domain of the first TDP-43 monomer and the loop 3 of RRM1 of the second monomer. The amino acid residues and the intermolecular interactions essential for the interface stability have been identified. Additionally, we have investigated, by in cellulo methods, several mutant forms of TDP-43 in which the cooperativity is impaired. Thus, we demonstrate that the cooperative binding of TDP-43 on mRNAs is critical to maintain the solubility of nuclear TDP-43 and the miscibility of TDP-43 condensates within cytoplasmic SGs. Based on the results presented here, we propose a mechanistic model in which the high-order TDP-43 assemblies promoted by the RRM domains bound to the RNA, constitutes a steric barrier limiting short range self-interactions between consecutive NTDs and CTDs of adjacent monomeric TDP-43 units. These assemblies may therefore favorize the dynamics and solubility of TDP-43/mRNA complexes. Impairments in the cooperative interaction of these complexes may lead to an anarchic attachment of TDP-43 along mRNAs leading to an increased occurrence of self-attraction between the NTDs and CTDs. Impaired multimers may then promote the TDP-43 aggregation. In conclusion, the TDP-43 multimerization on target RNA platforms would play a crucial role in processes linked to the control of its aggregation and mRNA splicing

Full textIncreases in p53 protein levels after DNA damage have largely been attributed to an increase in the half-life of the p53 protein. It is now well accepted that translational regulation of p53 mRNA is also critical for both repression of p53 accumulation in unstressed conditions and induction of the p53 protein in response to DNA damage. Our work focused on studying the role of DNA repair factor Ku in the regulation of P53 mRNA translation. We showed that Ku represses p53 protein synthesis and p53-mediated apoptosis by binding to a stem-loop structure within the p53 5'UTR. However, Ku-mediated translational repression is relieved after genotoxic stress. The underlying mechanism involves Ku acetylation which disrupts Ku-p53 mRNA interactions. These results suggest that Ku-mediated repression of p53 mRNA translation constitutes a novel cytoprotective mechanism linking DNA repair and mRNA translation
