Formation of endocytosis sites

Sylvette CHASSEROT-GOLAZ

Presentation

The objective of this project is to show that exocytotic sites are lipid platforms constituting assembly sites of the molecular machineries involved in neuroendocrine secretion.

For this purpose the composition of these platforms and their formation mechanisms involving Annexin A2 and actin are studied. The electron tomography revealed different actin structures associated with granules anchored to the plasma membrane.

We try to determine the role of these different actin structures and their origin. The functional importance of the contacts between the endoplasmic reticulum and the plasma membrane emerges in particular concerning the impact of the organization of the plasma membrane on specific cellular functions such as exocytosis and endocytosis. The last part of the project is devoted to the characterization of membrane contacts of the endoplasmic reticulum at exocytosis sites.
