We aim at deciphering the physiological role of lipolytic enzymes involved in lipid metabolism in pathogenic mycobacteria (such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. abscessus, M. marinum, M. ulcerans), their regulation during the infection process and their impact in dormancy phase. As lipid metabolism is directly related to the viability and virulence of mycobacteria, we also develop specific models to study these enzymes and their inhibitors in order to regulate this metabolic pathway and therefore the spread of the disease.
We have established that these enzymes are involved in bacterial growth, virulence (reactivation and propagation), dormancy, lipid storage and degradation as well as in cell wall biosynthesis.
Moreover, our work leads to the discovery of two new families of lipolytic enzyme inhibitors with strong anti-tuberculous effects, which are useful probes to study mycobacterial lipid metabolism, thus opening a new way to fight the disease.
The team’s expertise range from protein biochemistry (purification, biochemical characterization, expression of recombinant protein using E. coli, M. smegmatis, P. Pastoris or baculovirus expression systems), molecular and cell biology (construction of mutant strains, cell infection), lipid analysis to medicinal chemistry (organic synthesis, in silico docking, enzymology, susceptibility testing…) and cell imaging (fluorescence and electron microscopy).
