CRMP1 protein complexes modulate polyQ-mediated Htt aggregation and toxicity in neurons
- Biology
- 2010
The focus of this thesis was to investigate the role of the CRMP1 protein in HD pathogenesis using in vitro and in vivo model systems and found new findings on the function ofCRMP1 and its role in the pathogenesis of HD.
The PCI domains are “winged” HEAT domains
- BiologybioRxiv
- 2022
Evidence is presented that the PCI domains as a group have greater structural homology with individual groups of HEAT domains than some of the HEAT domain groups have among each other.
Polyglutamine Tract Expansion Increases Protein S-Nitrosylation and the Budding Yeast Zygote Transcriptome
- Biology

This work has shown that Huntingtin is regulated by posttranslational modifications vii and its role in Huntington’s disease is poorly understood.
The Drosophila Huntington's disease gene ortholog dhtt influences chromatin regulation during development.
- BiologyHuman molecular genetics
- 2015
Drosophila huntingtin ortholog dhtt modifies phenotypes caused by knockdown of a number of key epigenetic regulators, including chromatin-associated proteins, histone demethylases (HDMs) and methyltransferases, suggesting that a fundamental aspect of huntingtin function in heterochromatin/euchromatin organization is evolutionarily conserved across phyla.
Towards the Development of the TPR Scaffold into Novel Biomaterials & Bioswitches.
- Biology, Chemistry

The aim is to develop a system in which a ‘switching’ CTPR is used as a sensor that, when triggered by environmental conditions, partially unfolds and oligomerises.
Utilisation des cellules souches embryonnaires humaines porteuses de la mutation causale de la maladie de Huntington en tant que nouveau modèle pathologique
- Biology

Control of primary metabolism in plants
- Biology
- 2006
The Transcriptome and Genome are evaluated to Inform the Study of Metabolic Control in Plants and the Role of Protein Kinases, Phosphatases and 14--3--3 Proteins in the Control of Primary Plant Metabolism is revealed.
Huntingtin gene evolution in Chordata and its peculiar features in the ascidian Ciona genus
- BiologyBMC Genomics
- 2006
During chordate diversification, events of gain/loss, sliding, phase changes, and expansion of introns occurred in both vertebrate and ascidian lineages predominantly in the 5'-half of the htt gene, where there is also evidence of lineage-specific evolutionary dynamics in vertebrates.
Characterization of TOR complex 2 (TORC2) in "Saccharomyces cerevisiae"
- Biology
- 2004
It is suggested that TORC2 exists in an oligomeric state and that AVO1 and likely AVO3 act as scaffold proteins required for the integrity ofTORC2, and thatAVO1 plays a role as an adaptor protein mediating efficient phosphorylation of substrates.

Predicting coiled coils from protein sequences

This method was used to delineate coiled-coil domains in otherwise globular proteins, such as the leucine zipper domains in transcriptional regulators, and to predict regions of discontinuity within coiled -coil structures,such as the hinge region in myosin.
