Abstract:

La maladie de Huntington (MH) est une maladie neurodégénérative héréditaire autosomique dominante. Elle est due à l’expansion anormale de polyglutamine dans la partie N-terminal de la protéine huntingtine (HTT). Une des étapes clés de la pathologie est le clivage de la HTT pleine longueur en fragments N-terminaux plus petits, contenant l’expansion de polyglutamine, et qui sont toxiques pour les neurones. En effet, les clivages de la HTT mutée génère des fragments N-terminaux (N-ter) de tailles comprises entre les acides aminés 1-105 et 1-586 observés dans des extraits de cerveaux de patients M

Abstract:

The destruction of mitotic cyclins and other key regulators uses ubiquitin mediated proteolysis controlled via the activation of the ubiquitin ligase the Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome (APC/C), and its adaptor proteins Cdc20 and Cdh1. The spindle assembly checkpoint coordinates the APC/C with microtubule attachment and sets the timing from NEBD to anaphase. Cdc20 is inactivated by the spindle assembly checkpoint to prevent premature anaphase onset. Once the spindle assembly checkpoint is satisfied, Cdc20 can be released and activate the APC/C. However, cyclin A is degraded independently

Abstract:

Proteolysis is a component of protein turnover, controlled by multiple proteolytic systems. Alterations in system components within skeletal muscle has been associated with hypertrophy, remodelling, atrophy, apoptosis and metabolic dysregulation. Key components may have novel regulatory roles, e. g. calpain-3 and cathepsin-L. Experiments described within this thesis investigated the hypothesis that the gene expression of specific proteolytic system components within skeletal muscle may be co-ordinately regulated and altered during nutritional and pharmacological states known to modify protein

Abstract:

Ubiquitination provides a means of rapidly and irreversibly eliminating an unwanted protein from the cell, and is therefore a potentially effective tool for regulating cellular behaviour. Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis is involved in such diverse physiological functions as growth control, cell signalling, differentiation and the immune response. The aim of this research has been to investigate its role in <i>Drosophila </i>embryogenesis. Protein ubiquitination is a stepwise process carried out by three classes of enzyme known as E1s, E2s and E3s. The E1 (ubiquitin-activating enzyme), generates

Abstract:

The effect of cancer cachexia on protein metabolism has been studied in mice transplanted with the MAC16 adenocarcinoma. The progressive cachexia induced by the MAC16 tumour was characterised by a reduction in carcass nitrogen between 16-30% weight loss and a reciprocal increase in tumour nitrogen content. Carcass nitrogen loss was accompanied by a concomitant decrease in gastrocnemius muscle weight and nitrogen content and also by a decrease in liver nitrogen content. The loss of gastrocnemius muscle throughout the progression of cachexia was attributable to a 60% decrease in the rate of prot

The availability of an antibody monoclonally specific to the N-terminal gag encoded portion of P140 suggested a one-step immunoaffinity purification of P140.

Abstract:

String cheese, a Mozzarella cheese, has the unique ability to string in fibrous strands when pulled apart. Graders judge string cheese by its stringy texture; samples with copious amounts of string are awarded high ratings. But just as the texture of natural cheeses softens with time, the stringy texture of string cheese can diminish with age too. Age related softening in cheese is due primarily to an important biochemical event known as proteolysis, which is attributed to inherent milk proteinases, residual coagulant activity, and enzymes from the lysis of starter culture microorganisms.

Abstract:

Mycobacterium tuberculosis uses the ESX-1 type VII secretion system to export proteins to its cell surface, which permeabilize the host macrophage phagosomal membrane, allowing the bacterium to escape and spread to new cells. The structure of the type VII membrane complex and how it mediates this function is unknown, but it is hypothesized that some of the secreted proteins form an extracellular appendage that facilitates membrane lysis or direct secretion of virulence factors into the host cytoplasm. This thesis investigates the structural relationship between one of these secreted proteins,

Abstract:

In order to maintain genetic fidelity and to avoid aberrant proliferation, the cell cycle must be carefully regulated. Progression through mitosis is controlled by ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis of cell cycle proteins, allowing each stage in the cell division process to begin only when the previous stage is successfully completed and the various checkpoints are satisfied. As proteolysis contributes to the correct timing of exit from mitosis and cytokinesis, I have investigated the mechanisms responsible for degrading specific proteins at specific times during the cell cycle and how this is reg

Histones are a group of proteins used to condense DNA by forming a complex (nucleosome) around which DNA wraps around; there are two of each type of histone in a nucleosome: H2A, H2B, H3 and H4. Once the DNA is wrapped around the histones, the genome is further compacted. A shortened, "clipped" version of histone H3 has been found in some organisms including yeasts, flies, mammalian stem cells, and the ciliated protozoan, Tetrahymena thermophila.

The production and aggregation of the amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) is thought to play a central role in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathogenesis. The presenilin (PS)-containing γ-secretase complex cleaves the amyloid β-protein precursor C-terminal fragment (APP CTFβ) to generate Aβs of 38-49 residues. Evidence suggests that these Aβs are the result of successive γ-secretase cleavages, which are thought to start at the ε sites to generate Aβ48 or Aβ49, followed by C-terminal trimming mostly every three residues to produce secreted Aβs. Specifically, two product lines have been proposed: the Aβ49-46-4
