Mechanisms and regulation of inflammasome-associated programmed cell death (PyroPop)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2017, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2021,

Programmed cell death is essential for homeostasis, and its deregulation contributes to human disease. Inflammasome-induced pyroptosis of infected macrophages contributes to host defense against infections, but the concomitant release of inflammatory danger signals and leaderless cytokines is detrimental in chronic inflammatory diseases. The central hypothesis of the PyroPop ERC Consolidator proje ...

Memory in biological regulatory circuits (YEASTMEMORY)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2016, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2021,

The emergence of intelligence –the ability to remember and analyze data to make decisions– was a milestone in evolution. Intelligence and memory are usually associated with plastic neuronal connections in higher organisms. However, new discoveries hint that a rudimentary form of intelligence is rooted in networks that regulate gene expression in a wide range of organisms, including bacteria and ye ...

Clathrin-mediated endocytosis in plants: mechanistic insight into the TPLATE REcycling compleX and its interplay with AP-2 (T-Rex)

Date du début: 1 juil. 2016, Date de fin: 30 juin 2021,

Cells communicate with the outside world through proteins anchored in their plasma membrane and hereto constantly adjust their plasma membrane (PM) proteome. In this adjustment process, removing proteins from the PM mainly occurs through clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME). Mechanistically however, this process remains poorly understood in plants.A recent study from my group has shown that, in con ...

Novel approaches to determining the function of tissue-specific regulatory T cells (Tissue-Tregs)

Date du début: 1 juin 2016, Date de fin: 31 mai 2021,

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are formed through the expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 in T cells, resulting in the rewiring of the cell function into an immunosuppressive phenotype. Recently, it has been proposed that Tregs also have additional tissue-specific physiological roles when resident in different tissues. For example, tissue-specific Tregs residing in the muscle and adipose tiss ...

Maintaining synaptic function for a healthy brain: Membrane trafficking and autophagy in neurodegeneration (RobustSynapses)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2020,

Neurodegeneration is characterized by misfolded proteins and dysfunctional synapses. Synapses are often located very far away from their cell bodies and they must therefore largely independently cope with the unfolded, dysfunctional proteins that form as a result of synaptic activity and stress. My hypothesis is that synaptic terminals have adopted specific mechanisms to maintain robustness over ...

The incidence of autoimmune diseases in developed societies is increasing at high rates, but the underlying cause for this phenomenon has not been elucidated yet. Since the genetic architect remains considerably stable, this increase is likely associated with changes in the environment. Autoimmunity is linked to an imbalance of pro-inflammatory Th17 cells and anti-inflammatory Foxp3+ regulatory T ...

The determinants of cross-seeding of protein aggregation: a Multiple TANGO (MANGO)

Date du début: 1 juin 2015, Date de fin: 31 mai 2020,

Amyloid-like protein aggregation is a process of protein assembly via the formation of intermolecular β-structures by short aggregation prone sequence regions. This occurs as an unwanted side-reaction of impaired protein folding in disease, but also for the construction of natural nanomaterials. Aggregates appear to be strongly enriched in particular proteins, suggesting that the assembly process ...
