We are interested in the proteins that regulate CO2 assimilation in microalgae and diatoms, and more specifically in Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs). These proteins are fascinating because they fulfill essential biological functions while lacking a stable ordered structure, whereas it was long thought that a well folded structure was an absolute prerequesite for the proper activity of proteins. Instead, they are highly dynamics and adopt a myriad of conformations in the cell. We now know that no less than 30% of the proteins encoded by eukaryotic genomes contain long disordered regions. They are often involved in multiple interactions fostered by their structural plasticity. Encounter with their partners is often accompanied by dramatic changes in the structure and dynamics of these IDPs.
We have developed an expertise in the study of these original proteins and of their mechanisms of action by combining a series of complementary biophysical techniques. We are in particular expert in Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS), two very powerful techniques that provide crucial information on the structural properties of flexible polypeptide chains and on their distribution of conformations. We use SAXS, in combination with data from X-ray crystallography, NMR, circular dichroism and molecular modelling, to assess the structure and dynamics of IDPs, when free in various solution conditions, and when they undergo large conformational changes upon interaction with their partner(s).
