O papel do compexo PAR durante a embriogênese do placóide do cristalino. / The role of PAR complex during lens placode embryogenesis.Melo, Maraysa de Oliveira 08 August 2014 (has links)
O cristalino se origina de um epitélio simples e cuboidal que recobre a vesícula óptica. Neste estádio, os filamentos de actina são distribuídos ao longo do eixo apicobasal. As células do ectoderma pré- placodal, em contato com a vesícula óptica, formam um epitélio pseudoestratificado, chamado de placóide do cristalino, com acúmulo de actina no domínio apical. Nós propusemos estudar o papel da proteína PAR3 e sua fosforilação no estabelecimento de actina apical. A superexpressão de PAR3 no placóide forma pontos ectópicos de PAR3 na membrana baso-lateral e induz o recrutamento de actina ectópica para esses pontos. O recrutamento de actina e aPKC ectópicos é independente do estado de fosforilação da treonina 833, resíduo localizado no domínio de ligação do PAR3 ao aPKC. Além disso, no ectoderma peri-placoidal, onde a actina localiza-se baso-lateralmente, PAR3 induz o recrutamento ectópico de actina apical e esse recrutamento é independente da fosforilação da treonina 833. Esses dados nos sugerem que PAR3 é suficiente para recrutar actina no placóide do cristalino. / The lens originates from a simple cuboidal epithelium that overlies the optic vesicle. At this stage, the actin filaments are distributed along its apical-basal sides. The pre-placodal ectoderm, in contact with the optic vesicle, forms a pseudostratified tissue, the lens placode, with accumulation of actin network at the apical domain. Here, we focused on the role of the polarity protein PAR3 and its phosphorylation in the establishment of this apical actin network. Overexpression of PAR3 in the lens placode, induced formation of ectopic actin clusters in the basolateral membrane of the lens placode. The formation of these actin clusters, as well as recruitment of aPKC was independent of Threonine 833 phosphorylation at the PAR3 aPKC-binding site. In addition, PAR3 induced ectopic actin networks in the apical membrane of the periplacodal ectoderm independent of the Threonine 833 phosphorylation. Taken together, these data suggest that PAR3 is sufficient for actin recruitment in the lens placode.

Analyse fonctionnelle de cIAP1 : identification d'un rôle dans le remodelage du réseau d'actine / CIAP1 functional analysis : a role in actin remodelingMarivin, Arthur 27 February 2012 (has links)
Cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 1 (cIAP1) de la famille des IAP (Inhibitor of ApoptosisProtein) est un oncogène à activité E3-ubiquitine ligase. Notre équipe s’intéresse aux processus de différenciation des cellules hématopoïétique. cIAP1 est localisée dans le noyau des précurseurs hématopoïétiques exprimant le marqueur CD34. Lors de leur différenciationnotamment en macrophages ou en cellules dendritiques, cIAP1 est exclue du noyau. L’objectif de ma thèse a été de caractériser de nouvelles fonctions nucléaires et cytoplasmiques de cIAP1. Mes résultats ont contribués à mettre en évidence une fonction nucléaire de cIAP1 dans la régulation du cycle cellulaire via le contrôle du facteur de transcription E2F1. Dans le cytoplasme, cIAP1 est un régulateur de l’activation de la signalisation NF-kB et TNF-α. cIAP1 est un déterminant de la réponse des cellules au TNF-a, favorisant l’activation de NF-kB aux dépens de la mort cellulaire. Le TNF-α est aussi capable de moduler le cytosquelette d’actine et les propriétés morphologiques et migratoires des cellules. Dans les fibroblastes, il induit la formation de fines protrusions membranaires riches en actine appelées filipodes. Mes travaux ont montrés que cIAP1, associée à son partenaire historique TRAF2, régule la formation de ces filipodes. Elle est capable d’interagirdirectement avec la RhoGTPase Cdc42 et de contrôler son activation après un traitement par le TNF- α, mais aussi EGF. De plus, cIAP1 régule aussi la polarisation de l’appareil de Golgi, une fonction spécifiquement attribuée à Cdc42. Cette nouvelle fonction de cIAP1 dans le contrôle de Cdc42 pourrait contribuer aux propriétés oncogéniques de cIAP1 / Cellular Inhibitor of Apoptosis Protein 1 (cIAP1), a IAP family member (Inhibitor of ApoptosisProtein) is an E3 ubiquitin ligase which displays oncogenic properties. The research project of our team is focused on hematopoietic differentiation. cIAP1 is localized in the nucleus of hematopoietic precursors CD34+, and is excluded to the cytoplasm along macrophage and dendritic cell differentiation. The aim of my thesis was to characterize new nuclear and cytoplasmic fonctions of cIAP1. I have contributed to identify a nuclear function of cIAP1 in the regulation of cell cycle through a control of E2F1 transcription factor. In the cytoplasm, cIAP1 is a well-known modulator of NF-kB and TNF-α signaling pathway. It can determine the response of cells to TNF-α, through stimuling the canonical activation of NF-kB and inhibiting cell death. TNF-α can also promote cytoskeleton remodeling which determine morphogenetic properties including morphology or motility. My results suggest a role for cIAP1, when associated its partner TRAF2, in the control of actin rich protrusions called filipodia upon TNF-α stimulation. cIAP1 can interact and control Cdc42 activation, a member of Rho GTPases protein family. cIAP1/TRAF2 appears to control other process controlled by Cdc42 including, filipodia formation in response to EGF, or Golgi polarization. This function of cIAP1 in the control of Cdc42 could contribute to cIAP1 oncogenic properties

Identification de régulateurs de la voie de signalisation du suppresseur tumoral PAR-4/LKB1 chez C. elegansDescoteaux, Catherine 07 1900 (has links)
Le gène par-4 code pour une kinase à sérine/thréonine très conservée qui régule la polarisation précoce et la division cellulaire asymétrique de l’embryon de C. elegans. Une mutation de par-4 entraîne la létalité embryonnaire en perturbant trois processus: la ségrégation asymétrique des déterminants cellulaires, la régulation asynchrone de la progression du cycle cellulaire et la contractilité du réseau d’actomyosine. Pour identifier des régulateurs des voies de signalisation de PAR-4, nous avons procédé à un criblage pour des suppresseurs de la létalité embryonnaire associée à une mutation de par-4. Nous avons identifié 6 gènes qui codent pour des homologues conservés avec des activités définies telles que la phosphorylation, l’ubiquitination, la protéolyse et l’échafaudage. En employant l’imagerie quantitative pour suivre des événements cellulaires dépendants de PAR-4, nous avons déterminé quels processus sont contrôlés par chaque suppresseur durant le développement embryonnaire de C. elegans. Des analyses moléculaires de ces suppresseurs ont révélé des détails sur le mécanisme par lequel PAR-4 régule la polarisation cellulaire et promeut la division cellulaire asymétrique. / The gene lkb1 codes for a highly conserved serine/threonine kinase. The orthologue of lkb1 in the nematode Caeonorhabditis elegans, termed par-4, regulates early polarization and asymmetric cell division in the embryo. A mutation in par-4 causes embryonic lethality by perturbing three main cellular processes: asymmetric segregation of cell fate determinants, asynchronic regulation of cell cycle progression and contractility of the actomyosin network. To identify regulators of the PAR-4/LKB1-dependent pathways, we performed a screen for suppressors of the embryonic lethality associated with a mutation in par-4. We identified 6 genes that have conserved homologs with defined activities including protein phosphorylation, ubiquitination, proteolysis and scaffolding. We used quantitative imaging of specific PAR-4-dependent cellular events to determine which of these are controlled by each suppressor during early C. elegans embryonic development. Molecular analysis of these suppressors revealed details on the mechanism through which PAR-4 regulates cell polarization and promotes asymmetric cell division.

Chlamydia infection impairs host cell motility via CPAF-mediated Golgi fragmentationHeymann, Julia 07 August 2012 (has links)
Chlamydien sind obligat intrazelluläre Bakterien, die sich in einem membranumschlossenen Kompartiment namens Inklusion vermehren. Nach Infektion fragmentiert der Golgi-Apparat der Wirtszelle in kleine Membranstapel. Dies verbessert die Aufnahme von Sphingolipiden und ist deshalb für die chlamydiale Vermehrung essentiell. Die infektionsinduzierte Golgi-Fragmentierung geschieht nach Spaltung des Golgi-Matrix-Proteins Golgin-84. In dieser Arbeit konnte, durch den Vergleich mit bekannten Substraten und Inhibitorstudien, die chlamydiale Protease CPAF (Chlamydia protease-like activity factor) als das Enzym identifiziert werden, das diese Spaltung induziert, abhängig von der Anwesenheit zweier Rab-Proteine, Rab6 und Rab11, die den zellulären Vesikeltransport kontrollieren und zur Inklusion rekrutiert werden. Die Fragmentierung des Golgi-Apparates verhinderte dessen Relokalisierung während der Zellpolarisierung nach Einbringen eines migratorischen Stimulus. Sowohl infizierte als auch Golgin-84-depletierte Zellen migrierten langsamer und randomisiert in einem Motilitätsassay. Die Relokalisierung des Golgi-Apparates konnte durch seine Stabilisierung mittels WEHD oder Rab-Depletion wieder gewonnen werden, was die Zellmotilität teilweise wieder herstellte. Darüber hinaus konnte gezeigt werden, dass die Infektion außer der Golgi-Reorientierung die Signaltransduktion durch GTPasen beeinflusst. Die Aktivität von Cdc42 in infizierten Zellen war erhöht und die Interaktionen mit vielen ihrer Effektoren laut quantitativer Massenspektrometrie stark verändert. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, dass CPAF die für Chlamydien lebenswichtige Golgin-84 Prozessierung und Fragmentierung des Golgi-Apparates auslöst. Dies verringert die Mobilität der Wirtszelle, vor allem da der Golgi-Apparat während der Polarisierung nicht mehr ausgerichtet werden kann, des Weiteren durch Modulierung der Protein-Protein-Interaktionen von Cdc42. / Chlamydia are obligate intracellular human pathogens that proliferate inside a membrane-bound compartment called the inclusion. In infected cells, the Golgi apparatus is fragmented into small ministacks that are aligned around the inclusion. This facilitates uptake of host cell sphingolipids and is essential for chlamydial development. Infection-induced Golgi fragmentation happens after processing of the Golgi matrix protein golgin-84. This work could, via comparison with well-known substrates and inhibitor studies, identify the chlamydial protease CPAF (Chlamydia protease-like activity factor) as the enzyme accountable for this cleavage. Golgi Fragmentation depended on two Rab proteins, Rab6 and Rab11, which control vesicle transport and are recruited to the Chlamydia inclusion. As a consequence of Golgi fragmentation, cells lost the capacity to reorient the Golgi apparatus during polarization after a migratory stimulus. Both infected and golgin-84 depleted cells with a permanently fragmented Golgi apparatus displayed decelerated and furthermore randomized migration in a motility assay. Relocalization of the Golgi apparatus could be restored via stabilizing WEHD treatment or Rab depletion which partly rescued cell motility. Moreover, it could be shown that migration signaling via small GTPases was influenced by Chlamydia infection. Infected cells exhibited activation of the small polarity GTPase Cdc42. Numerous interactions with downstream effectors were strongly altered in infected cells according to quantitative mass spectrometry. Particularly, the binding of Cdc42 to migration-associated effectors was decreased. The results of this work show that CPAF, by processing of golgin-84, induces Golgi fragmentation which is vitally important for Chlamydia. This disturbs host cell motility because the Golgi apparatus cannot be reoriented during polarization and, additionally, via the modulation of protein-protein-interactions of Cdc42.
