Severe osmotic compression triggers a slowdown of intracellular signaling, which can be explained by molecular crowding

…, MN McClean, S Bottani, S Léon… - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
Regulation of the cellular volume is fundamental for cell survival and function. Deviations
from equilibrium trigger dedicated signaling and transcriptional responses that mediate water …

A molecular switch on an arrestin-like protein relays glucose signaling to transporter endocytosis

…, O Vincent, S Paiva, S Léon - Journal of Cell …, 2012 - rupress.org
Endocytosis regulates the plasma membrane protein landscape in response to environmental
cues. In yeast, the endocytosis of transporters depends on their ubiquitylation by the …

[HTML][HTML] Uniqueness of the mechanism of protein import into the peroxisome matrix: transport of folded, co-factor-bound and oligomeric proteins by shuttling receptors

S Léon, JM Goodman, S Subramani - Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) …, 2006 - Elsevier
Based on earlier suggestions that peroxisomes may have arisen from endosymbionts that
later lost their DNA, it was expected that protein transport into this organelle would have …

Versatile role of the yeast ubiquitin ligase Rsp5p in intracellular trafficking

N Belgareh-Touzé, S Léon… - Biochemical Society …, 2008 - portlandpress.com
The ubiquitin ligase (E3) Rsp5p is the only member of the Nedd (neural-precursor-cell-expressed,
developmentally down-regulated) 4 family of E3s present in yeast. Rsp5p has several …

Dynamics of the peroxisomal import cycle of PpPex20p: ubiquitin-dependent localization and regulation

S Léon, L Zhang, WH McDonald, J Yates III… - The Journal of cell …, 2006 - rupress.org
We characterize the peroxin PpPex20p from Pichia pastoris and show its requirement for
translocation of PTS2 cargoes into peroxisomes. PpPex20p docks at the peroxisomal …

Iron-sulphur cluster assembly in plants: distinct NFU proteins in mitochondria and plastids from Arabidopsis thaliana

S Léon, B Touraine, C Ribot, JF Briat… - Biochemical …, 2003 - portlandpress.com
Recent results are in favour of a role for NFU-like proteins in Fe–S cluster biogenesis. These
polypeptides share a conserved CXXC motif in their NFU domain. In the present study, we …

Ubiquitin ligase adaptors: regulators of ubiquitylation and endocytosis of plasma membrane proteins

S Léon, R Haguenauer-Tsapis - Experimental cell research, 2009 - Elsevier
The subcellular localization of plasma membrane proteins, such as receptors and
transporters, must be finely tuned so that they can be readily downregulated in response to …

Integrated control of transporter endocytosis and recycling by the arrestin-related protein Rod1 and the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5

M Becuwe, S Léon - Elife, 2014 - elifesciences.org
10.7554/eLife.03307.001 After endocytosis, membrane proteins can recycle to the cell
membrane or be degraded in lysosomes. Cargo ubiquitylation favors their lysosomal targeting …

Ear1p and Ssh4p are new adaptors of the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5p for cargo ubiquitylation and sorting at multivesicular bodies

S Léon, Z Erpapazoglou… - Molecular Biology of …, 2008 - Am Soc Cell Biol
The ubiquitylation of membrane proteins destined for the vacuole/lysosome is essential for
their recognition by the endosomal sorting machinery and their internalization into vesicles of …

Cellular toxicity of the metabolic inhibitor 2-deoxyglucose and associated resistance mechanisms

C Laussel, S Léon - Biochemical Pharmacology, 2020 - Elsevier
Most malignant cells display increased glucose absorption and metabolism compared to
surrounding tissues. This well-described phenomenon results from a metabolic reprogramming …
