Journal ArticleDOI
Phg1p is a nine-transmembrane protein superfamily member involved in dictyostelium adhesion and phagocytosis.
Sophie Cornillon,Emmanuel Pech,Mohammed Benghezal,Kissia Ravanel,Erin C. Gaynor,François Letourneur,Franz Bruckert,Pierre Cosson +7 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the Phg1 protein is involved in the adhesion of Dictyostelium to various substrates, a crucial event of phagocytosis and demonstrate the usefulness of a genetic approach to dissect the molecular events involved in that process.
Journal ArticleDOI
An adhesion molecule in free‐living Dictyostelium amoebae with integrin β features
Sophie Cornillon,Leigh Gebbie,Mohammed Benghezal,Prashant Nair,Sébastien Keller,Bernhard Wehrle-Haller,Steve J. Charette,Franz Bruckert,François Letourneur,Pierre Cosson +9 more
TL;DR: Light is shed on the molecular mechanisms controlling cell adhesion and their establishment during evolution by identifying a new adhesion molecule in Dictyostelium amoebae that presents structural and functional similarities to metazoan integrin β chains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Membrane sorting in the endocytic and phagocytic pathway of Dictyostelium discoideum
Kissia Ravanel,Benoît de Chassey,Sophie Cornillon,Mohammed Benghezal,Laurence Zulianello,Leigh Gebbie,François Letourneur,Pierre Cosson +7 more
TL;DR: The results emphasize the fact that very active membrane traffic takes place in phagocytic and macropinocytic cells, coupled with precise membrane sorting to maintain the specific composition of endocytic compartments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synergistic control of cellular adhesion by transmembrane 9 proteins.
Mohammed Benghezal,Sophie Cornillon,Leigh Gebbie,Laethitia Alibaud,Franz Bruckert,François Letourneur,Pierre Cosson +6 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that Phg1 proteins act as regulators of cellular adhesion, possibly by controlling the intracellular transport in the endocytic pathway and the composition of the cell surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phg2, a Kinase Involved in Adhesion and Focal Site Modeling in Dictyostelium
Leigh Gebbie,Mohammed Benghezal,Sophie Cornillon,Romain Bruno Froquet,Nathalie Cherix,Marilyne Malbouyres,Yaya Lefkir,Christophe Grangeasse,Sébastien Fache,Jérémie Dalous,Franz Bruckert,François Letourneur,Pierre Cosson +12 more
TL;DR: A functional hierarchy in the roles of Phg1, Phg2, myosin VII, and talin in cellular adhesion, actin cytoskeleton organization, and motility is established.
