Title: Glycochemistry and Molecular Recognition: Rational and Combinatorial Approaches
Abstract:
Carbohydrates participate in a large variety of molecular recognition processes of biological relevance, involving both proteins receptors, enzymes and nucleic acid fragments. Understanding how these later bio-molecules interact with glycosides represents a fundamental issue in chemical biology with far reaching implications in fundamental biology, biotechnology or drug design. On the other hand, the acknowledgment of the relevance of glycoconjugates in biology has run parallel to the development of new chemical methods for glycosidic bond formation. Thus, the last few decades have witnessed a burgeoning progress in the area of glycosyl donor engineering, with a more recent focus on the understanding of glycosylation mechanisms. As a part of an ongoing project focused on glycochemisty we
have analyzed different aspects of the association of glycosides to both nulcleic acids and proteins. In addition, key mechanistic features of glycosylation reactions, both in enzymatic nd chemical contexts, have been dissected. From a methodological persepective our approach is pluridisciplinar and includes NMR, molecular modeling, organic synthesis, and a variety of chemical strategies. The obtained results, together with their implications for the design and synthesis of improved carbohydrate-based ligands, will be discussed.

The International BIFI 2022 Conference
2022-06-07 09:00 - 2022-06-09 18:00 | Online
The International BIFI 2022 Conference will take place online from February 7th to 9th, 2022. On this occasion the Conference will be focused on the Science of Covid-19: from molecular drug design to data-driven epidemiological models.
In order to ease attendance, this year’s conference will be entirely hosted online.
Every two years the Institute organizes an international conference around its research areas. This is the case of 2022 when we will be holding the BIFI 2022 International Conference which will focus around what we could call the Science of Covid-19. As we well know at this time, the subject is highly topical and possibly expected, but given the massive impact to our societies and its relation to the core activities of our institute, it is also natural choice for 2022. We hope this occasion will serve to consolidate knowledge on the topic, bring new insights and tools to it, and also to fill some gaps and open new research paths. The Conference aims at providing a forum to discuss the latest advances and insights in the study of this pandemic. All topics that fit within the science of COVID-19 from a complexity, biological or interdisciplinary point of view are welcome.
On the website of the event (http://bifi22.bifi.es/) to be announced all the necessary information including the access link in due time.

Title: Connectivity as a tool to investigate hydro-geomorphic systems: A river delta case study.
Abstract:
Connectivity plays a crucial role in natural and engineered systems, driving and resulting from various processes. For example, sediment fluxes shape the landscape, creating preferential paths for water and sediment transport, ultimately leading to channelized flows that affect the system’s response to changing forcings. Research in geomorphic systems has focused on understanding the emergent connectivity structures and their impact on system dynamics. To this end, network theory provides a suitable mathematical framework for quantitatively characterizing connectivity patterns. In this presentation, I will use river deltas as a case study to demonstrate how an integrated approach, combining network theory, remote sensing, and modeling tools, can enhance our understanding of the structure and dynamics of geomorphic systems. Specifically, I will showcase how analyzing river delta channel networks can help solve the inverse problem of inferring process from form, classify and compare river deltas, and predict their dynamic response to different forcing scenarios.

Title: Host-pathogen interactions in pathogenic mycobacteria. Underlying molecular mechanisms and new ways for antimicrobial development.
Abstract:
The Mycobacterium genus contains over 150 recognized species, many of which produce infectious diseases in human such as tuberculosis or leprosy, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and Mycobacterium leprae, respectively. Human tuberculosis is one of the world’s most devastating human ID responsible of ~1.5 million deaths every year; while leprosy is an IDs associated with permanent deformation, disability and stigma, with > 200.000 new cases every year. Our group aims at using structural biology approaches to acquire a deep understanding of biological systems involved in host-pathogen interactions in pathogenic mycobacteria, as well as finding new ways for antimicrobial development. Our work mainly focuses on the study of the ESX5 secretion system and LysA mycobacteriophage-encoded endolysins. The ESX5 secretion system is a complex molecular machine, and key virulence factor essential for the viability of pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mtb. EccC5 is a large ATPase, and pivotal ESX5 component, that provides the secretion driving force via ATP hydrolysis. Our structural studies reveal the lack of ATPase activity proposed for the N-terminal DUF domain of EccC5, which is likely conserved in other ESX systems from mycobacterial and non-mycobacterial species. These results uncover key features of the ESX-dependent secretion mechanism, and it may open new ways for inhibitor development targeting the EccC5-DUF domain. Bacteriophage endolysins are peptidoglycan hydrolases targeting the bacterial surface that, when exogenously applied, can produce a rapid and specific elimination of pathogenic bacteria. In this line, DS6A-LysA and D29-LysA are complex multidomain endolysins with potential antimicrobial application against pathogenic mycobacteria. Our crystallographic studies of DS6A-LysA and D29-LysA catalytic domains uncovers important aspects of the mechanism of cell-wall binding and hydrolysis by these endolysins, knowledge that is key for their potential application as specific antimicrobials.

Re-imagining the glutamatergic synapse: From structure-function to neurological disease
Professor Derek Bowie. Department of Pharmacology & Therapeutics, McGill University, Montreal, Canada
Abstract:
The Bowie Lab uses a combination of techniques to study ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs), GABA-A receptors and more recently, sodium and potassium channels. All ion-channel families are widespread in the vertebrate brain and fulfill many important roles in healthy individuals as well as being implicated in disease states associated with postnatal development (e.g. autism, schizophrenia), cerebral insult (e.g. stroke, epilepsy) and aging disorders (e.g. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinsonism). We are looking at iGluRs, GABA-A receptors, Na+ and K+ channels at two inter-related levels. In molecular terms, we are examining the events that occur when each ion-channel family is activated with the aim of developing novel therapeutic compounds. At the cellular level, we are studying the role they fulfill in shaping the behaviour of neuronal circuits and how these processes may be corrected in disease states. The talk will focus on recent work from the lab on a subclass of iGluRs, called AMPA receptors.
Biosketch:
Dr. Derek Bowie is a Professor of Pharmacology & Therapeutics at McGill University and co-Director of the Cell Information Systems. The Bowie lab focuses on several major ion-channel families with a special emphasis on their role in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Title: The contradictory role of frataxin in Fe-S cluster biogenesis
Abstract:
Frataxin is a small mitochondrial protein whose limited expression impairs Fe-S cluster biogenesis and promotes iron accumulation, leading to the neurodegenerative Friedreich’s ataxia. Although frataxin role is yet to be completely unraveled, its involvement as a regulator of the desulfurase activity in the Fe-S cluster biogenesis machinery has been demonstrated for both human frataxin and its bacterial ortholog CyaY. In this frame, although the human and the bacterial proteins share high homology in their aminoacidic sequence and tridimensional structure, a dramatic discrepancy has been highlighted by in vitro studies addressing their effect on the Fe-S cluster formation machinery. In particular, while CyaY slows down the kinetics of Fe-S cluster formation on IscU, human frataxin has emerged as an activator of Fe-S cluster biogenesis. In this review it will be described all the information to better understand the evolutionary divergence of the frataxin genes.
It is difficult to clarify this apparent paradox by studying the process in vitro where the isolated proteins are in an artificial environment or in vivo under non-controlled conditions. To clarify the issue, we have used a new approach based on metabolomics to study the enzymatic reaction. We followed the enzymatic kinetics ex vivo using bacterial to investigate enzymatic kinetics of IscS and the role that frataxin plays in it. We prove that IscS is inhibited by bacterial frataxin even in this ex vivo condition. We also prove conclusively that iron acts as the effector of the reaction in prokaryotes. This study provides a new powerful tool for the study of iron sulfur cluster biogenesis.

Title: Targeted protein degradation: Chasing molecular glues and coping with resistance to degraders

Abstract:
Targeted protein degradation is a pharmacological strategy based on drugs (degraders) that destroy proteins by hijacking the intracellular proteolysis machinery. This strategy has garnered significant attention in the last year owing to its potential to modulate the abundance of proteins that are difficult to target with conventional inhibitors. Degraders can be multivalent (PROTACs) or monovalent (molecular glue degraders) depending on the number of chemical warheads. Molecular glue degraders offer a promising strategy for targeting disease-relevant proteins that were previously considered “undruggable”. Mechanistically, they orchestrate direct protein-protein interactions between a target protein and an E3 ubiquitin ligase. As a result, the target protein gets ubiquitinated and then degraded by the proteasome. Despite their great therapeutic potential, the discovery of molecular glue degraders has been largely serendipitous. I will discuss our efforts to facilitate the rational development of molecular glues.
In addition, many genetic determinants governing degrader efficiency have been mapped in recent years, bringing important lessons about resistance mechanisms. Our recent chemoproteomics journey aimed at identifying strategies to overcome broad resistance to degraders will be presented.

Title: Improving Buruli ulcer and leprosy control in Africa

Abstract:
Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) are a diverse group of communicable diseases prevalent in tropical and subtropical areas. They affect more than a billion people and cost developing economies trillions of dollars every year. The socio-economic consequences are enormous. Of the 20 NTDs, 12 are endemic in Africa. The co-endemicity of certain diseases; the similarity of the clinical signs as well as the scarcity of financial, human and temporal resources called for an integrated management of these diseases, including Buruli ulcer and leprosy. The World Health Organisation road map 2021-2030 aims to accelerate progress towards the prevention, control, elimination and eradication of the 20 NTDs. Leprosy elimination and Buruli ulcer control are among the priorities. The target of elimination of leprosy as a Public Health Problem have been achieved since 2000 at the african regional level except the Comoros. Current Buruli ulcer treatment requires 8-weeks of daily rifampicin and clarithromycin, wound care and, sometimes, tissue grafting and surgery. Several clinical trials are currently ongoing and other experimental interventions have been proposed aiming to improve Buruli ulcer treatment by shortening its duration.
Moreover, pilot integration experiences have been implemented in different countries, particularly in Benin and Ivory Coast, with success, suggesting that this strategy is effective and efficient in consolidating the achievements of the fight against these diseases.
