Collaborative study on a novel lysosomal amino acid transporter and cystinosis therapy published in PNAS

In this novel study entitled “Heptahelical protein PQLC2 is a lysosomal cationic amino acid exporter underlying the action of cysteamine in cystonosis therapy“, conducted in collaboration with B. Gasnier (Descartes University, Paris), we report the characterization three novel yeast transporters of the vacuolar membrane (Ypq1, -2, -3) involved in cationic amino acid homeostasis. These yeast […]

FEBS meeting on “Protein quality control and ubiquitin systems in health and diseases”

We attended and contributed to the FEBS meeting on “Protein quality control and ubiquitin systems in health and diseases” (Turkey, Kusadasi, 14-16 Nov). A perfectly well organized meeting offering the opportunity to be informed on the latest developments on ubiquitin research. An extra day (Saturday 17 Nov) allowed us visit the famous Ephesus “open-air museum” […]

A.O. Barry and N. Mihajlovic joined the lab

We’re glad to welcome to new members in the lab.

Abdoulaye BARRY just obtained his PhD in Marseilles (France). He has investigated the ability of bacterial pathogens to interfere with the maturation of phagosomes. He will study the intracellular traffic of membrane proteins in yeast and mammalian cells.

Natalija MIHAJLOVIC is a pregraduate student from […]
