Caractérisation moléculaire des Récepteurs Venus Kinase : étude fonctionnelle chez le parasite Schistosoma mansoni / Molecular characterization of Venus Kinase Receptors : functional studies in the parasite Schistosoma mansoni

Gouignard, Nadège 30 November 2011 (has links)
La famille des Venus Kinase Receptors (VKR) est une nouvelle famille de Récepteurs Tyrosine Kinase découverte au laboratoire chez le ver parasite Schistosoma mansoni (SmVKR1), puis chez 14 autres organismes invertébrés, principalement des insectes. Les études réalisées au laboratoire ont montré la présence des transcrits vkr dans les organes reproducteurs des organismes adultes mais aussi dans les stades larvaires suggérant un rôle dans le développement et/ou la reproduction de ces organismes. Ma thèse concerne la caractérisation structurale, biochimique et fonctionnelle des VKRs de deux organismes d’intérêt sanitaire majeur : le schistosome, parasite responsable de la bilharziose qui représente la seconde endémie parasitaire mondiale et l’anophèle, vecteur principal du paludisme en Afrique. Dans une première partie nous avons mis en évidence la présence d’un second VKR chez le schistosome, nommé SmVKR2. Nous avons montré que ses transcrits sont exprimés à tous les stades du cycle parasitaire et principalement dans les organes génitaux de la femelle au niveau des ovocytes immatures et de l’ootype. Nous avons exprimé SmVKR1 et SmVKR2 et montré qu’ils sont tous deux des récepteurs à activité tyrosine kinase, activables respectivement par la L-Arginine et par le calcium. Des expériences complémentaires semblent indiquer qu’un ligand naturel de SmVKR1 pourrait se trouver dans le canal gynécophore des vers appariés. Parallèlement, nous avons entrepris l’identification des partenaires cytosoliques de SmVKR1 et SmVKR2 grâce au criblage d’une banque d’ADNc de vers adultes par la technique de double hybride en levure en utilisant les domaines intracellulaires (DIC) des récepteurs comme appâts. L’analyse partielle des résultats obtenus montre que les DIC de SmVKR1 et SmVKR2 interagissent en autres avec des protéines du cytosquelette et avec des protéines cytoplasmiques pourvues de domaines d’interaction protéine-protéine SH2, acteurs de voies de signalisation classique des RTKs. Nous avons montré par ARNi que la diminution des transcrits SmVKR1 et SmVKR2 a un impact majeur sur la morphologie des organes génitaux de la femelle. Les sporocystes interférés pour les deux récepteurs présentent une diminution significative de leur taille comparée aux témoins.La deuxième partie de mes travaux de thèse a été centrée sur l’étude d’AgVKR, le récepteur d’Anopheles gambiae. En utilisant deux systèmes d’expression hétérologue, nous avons pu établir que ce récepteur était lui aussi catalytiquement actif et activable par la L-arg comme SmVKR1. L’étude de la fonction d’AgVKR a été abordée grâce à la découverte récente de son expression constitutive dans une lignée de cellules d’A. gambiae nommées SuA5B et de type hémocytaire. Des expériences d’ARNi ont été mises au point dans le but de visualiser l’impact d’une diminution de transcrits sur la physiologie des cellules. Dans leur ensemble, les résultats de ces travaux participent à la compréhension des mécanismes de régulation et de la fonction des VKRs, des récepteurs qui semblent d’une grande importance pour le développement et la reproduction des organismes. / Venus Kinase Receptors (VKRs) form a new family of Receptor Tyrosine Kinases discovered for the first time in the parasite Schistosoma mansoni (SmVKR1), then in fourteen other invertebrate organisms and mainly in insects. In our laboratory, previous studies have shown that vkr transcripts are present in reproductive organs of adult organisms but also in larval stages, suggesting a role of VKRs in reproductive and development mechanisms. My thesis was concerned with the structural, biochemical, and functional characterization of the VKRs of two invertebrate organisms causing serious public health concerns: the worm S. mansoni responsible for the second human parasitic disease, and the principal malaria vector in Africa, Anopheles gambiae. At first, we have shown the existence of SmVKR2, a second VKR in the worm. Its transcripts are expressed in all the parasitic stages and localized in the immature oocytes and the ootype of the female worm. Recombinant SmVKR1 and SmVKR2 proteins showed a tyrosine kinase activity in vitro. Their catalytic activity could be induced by small molecules such as L-Arginine for SmVKR1 and calcium ions for SmVKR2. Preliminary experiments showed the presence of a potential natural ligand inside of the gynaecophoral duct of paired worms, able to activate SmVKR1 but not SmVKR2. To identify cytoplasmic partners of SmVKR1 and SmVKR2, we used intracellular domains (ICD) of each receptor as baits to screen an adult worm cDNA yeast library. We could show that SmVKR1 and SmVKR2 ICDs interact with various proteins, including cytoskeleton components and proteins containing SH2 protein-protein interaction domains, known to participate in classical signalling pathways of RTKs. We have also shown by RNAi that the diminution of smvkr1 and smvkr2 transcripts results in major changes in the morphology of genital organs of female worms. In the sporocyst larvae, RNAi of both SmVKR1 and SmVKR2 led to a significant decrease of the size of the parasites, as compared to the controls.The second part of my thesis work concerned the study of AgVKR from A. gambiae. Using two different expression systems, we have established that AgVKR was also catalytically active and activable by L-Arg as was SmVKR1. Functional studies of AgVKR could be facilitated by the recent discovery that the hemocyte-like SuA5B cell line of A. gambiae are constitutively expressing AgVKR. RNAi procedures have been designed to analyse the impact of a diminution of agvkr transcripts on the physiology of SuA5B cells.Taken together, these results already participate in a better knowledge of the mechanisms of VKR regulation and of their function, confirming their potential importance in growth and reproduction of invertebrate organisms.

Global cloud properties on Venus from orbital infrared spectroscopy

Barstow, Joanna Katy January 2012 (has links)
This thesis describes the derivation of Venusian global cloud properties from infrared remote sensing data obtained by the Visible and Infrared Thermal Imaging Spectrometer (VIRTIS) on the European Space Agency Venus Express satellite. A computationally-efficient retrieval method is designed to exploit the dataset, which provides coverage of the entire nightside southern hemisphere of Venus. Spatially-resolved near-infrared spectra have been used to derive improved models of the vertical structure and global distribution of cloud properties in the southern hemisphere. Wavelengths within transparency windows in the 1.0 - 2.6 micron range covered by VIRTIS are sensitive on the nightside to absorption by the lower and middle sulphuric acid cloud layers, which are back-lit by thermally-emitted radiation from the hot lower atmosphere (Taylor et al. 1997). The cloud model used to interpret the spectra builds on work by Crisp (1986), Pollack et al. (1993) and Grinspoon et al. (1993). Retrieved parameters are the acid concentration in the cloud droplets, the average size of the particles in the lower cloud and the altitude of the cloud base in the model. Values are estimated initially using wavelength pairs selected for their unique sensitivity to each parameter, and then validated using model spectra generated using the NEMESIS radiative transfer and retrieval code (Irwin et al. 2008) as developed for Venus (Tsang et al. 2008a). The spatial variation of sulphuric acid concentration in the cloud particles is estimated ; the concentration is found to be higher in regions of optically thick cloud. The retrieved cloud base altitude varies with latitude, reaching a maximum height near -50 degreees before falling by several km towards the pole. An increase in average particle size near the pole (Wilson et al. 2008) and the finding of latitudinally-variable CO abundance at 35 - 40 km altitude (Tsang et al. 2008) are both confirmed. A decrease in tropospheric H₂O abundance at high latitudes is observed, and provides evidence for strong downwelling between +/-60 and +/-75 degrees latitude, which marks the poleward extent of the Hadley cell circulation. Long-term secular change is also observed over a period of two Earth years. The measurements presented here provide a reference dataset for microphysical and dynamical modelling of the cloud deck, and the role of the cloud as a dynamical and chemical tracer means that such observations are of considerable value for increased understanding of the Venusian atmosphere.
