Chaperone proteins – Molecular microbiology – Bacterial stress response – Hsp90/HtpG – Hsp70/DnaK.

Le but principal de mes recherches est de comprendre comment les protéines chaperons participent à l’adaptation des bactéries en conditions de stress. Présentes des bactéries à l’homme, les protéines chaperons sont essentielles pour permettre le repliement correct de la plupart des autres protéines cellulaires. Par des approches de microbiologie moléculaire et de biochimie, je m’intéresse tout particulièrement au chaperon Hsp90 et au système chaperon DnaK chez des bactéries modèles telles que Shewanella oneidensis et Escherichia coli.

The main goal of my research is to understand how chaperone proteins are involved in bacterial adaptation under stress conditions. Present from bacteria to human, chaperone proteins are essential to allow the correct folding of most of the cellular proteins. Using molecular microbiology and biochemical approaches, I mainly focus on the Hsp90 chaperone and the Hsp70 chaperone system in model bacteria including Shewanella oneidensis and Escherichia coli.
