Glad to share this collaborative nice collaborative study we particitated to from @RitaTewari 's lab about the role of SUN1-ALLAN in nuclear envelope and MTOC organisations in Plasmodium #malaria.
Delighted to share our new study on a novel SUN1-ALLAN complex in Plasmodium MTOC and NE organization. Many thanks @Zeeshan_MF; @EelcoTromer ; @RyujiYanase; @TonyHolder2; Sarah; David F; Akancha; Igor; Cyrille; Robert; Declan. @KarineLeRoch1; Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Glad to share our latest study on #Toxoplasma #lipid synthesis and trafficking in @jlipidres We reveal the role of a novel #AcylCoAsynthetase aka Fatty acid metabolic activator. Great work by the team, especially  @sheena_dass, @Serenashun @charital_sarah shorturl.at/GBFgb

We show that TgACS3 is responsible for activating and channeling the constant flux of scavenged fatty acids towards parasite lipid storage #lipiddroplets,allowing mobilization of membrane building blocks for parasite division and survival especially under high host nutrient level

Shame and terrible idea from @NIAIDFunding for a shutting down one of the most powerful and successful database, which we use daily! This will not only waste #scientificfunding from and in the USA but also from all international fundings schemes too...Keep the data available!!
It appears #NIAID will shutter the genome data base we all use daily. This strikes me as a significant mistake that may well endanger much of our global progress. @BSPparasitology @AS_Para @ASTMH @TrendsParasitol @AmSocParasit @parasitesrule @PiParasitology

Just back from Berlin for the #Toxo2024, we had a blast of science and fun!! Viele Danke to the organizers and bravo to our #toxo #lipid afficionados @charital_sarah @NyamekyeQuansa1 and Amandine Lourdel for their great work and presentations #proudPI Auf wiedersehen!!

Briefly, we found 7 putative Acyl-CoA synthetases (ACS) in Toxoplasma. One of them, TgACS1, is a bubblegum ACS with a peroxisomal targeting signal. In intracellular parasites, TgACS1 is broadly cytosolic and its loss induces a mild growth phenotype only in low nutrient content...

Happy to share new insights about Plasmodium mitochondrial PhospholipaseA2 blood stage role: it degrades PG to generate LBPA and fatty acids for parasite mb biogenesis. Great work by @serenashun @MitchQuansah etal. and nice collaboration with @Pradel_Lab t.ly/b1KuO

The enzyme degrades existing lipid named PG to generate LBPA and fatty acids precursors, further used for parasite membrane biogenesis, especially during lipid starvation for the parasite to get access to more membrane precursors and allow parasite propagation.

Great work from @SanchezSyrian and @s_besteiro (@parafrap!) showing the the relict plastid or apicoplast of Toxoplasma is essential for the survival of the dormant life stages (silent and incurable) of the parasite! New treatment possibilities ahead!
So happy to see that @SanchezSyrian's main PhD work is now out in @PNASNews. Nice collaboration with Nico Blanchard's team @InfinityTLS! pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1073/pna…

A nice collaboration between @ILLGrenoble @ApicoLipid and @Gemeli_official using systematic #lipidomic quantification of #deuterated #lipids to produce advanced models of #synthetic #biologicalmembranes from natural lipid for biophysical characterization. authors.elsevier.com/c/1h3VV…

Thanks again to @ClareHardingLab with her PhD student @AghabiDana from @UofGlasgow who came to treat us @IAB_Officiel with some great #iron #trafficking in #toxoplasma science and discussion here in Grenoble. (Grenoble had to pay back with a some food and #chartreuse of course!)

We tagged and localized lysophopholipase3(LPL3) at #hostparasite interfaces within the host erythrocytes. Inducible KO shows that LPL3 is essential for #schizogony and progeny formation

Nice collaboration with the @SaeijlabUCDavis, glad that we and @Gemeli_official could help contributing identifying the #toxoplasma molecular effectors involved in #Parasite fitness under interferon gama stimultation. Congrats to the team!
