The origins, spreading mechanisms, and consequences of epidemics and pandemics lie at the intersection between environmental, human, and animal systems. Therefore, effective governance requires an approach that accounts for the systemic nature of epidemics and pandemics. Switzerland has an essential role to play in strengthening the One Health appr...

Endocytosis of membrane proteins in yeast requires α-arrestin-mediated ubiquitylation by the ubiquitin ligase Rsp5. Yet, the diversity of α-arrestin targets studied is restricted to a small subset of plasma membrane (PM) proteins. Here, we performed quantitative proteomics to identify new targets of 12 α-arrestins and gained insight into the divers...

Yeast cells, to be able to grow on a wide variety of nitrogen sources, regulate the set of nitrogen transporters present at their plasma membrane. Such regulation relies on both transcriptional and post-translational events. While microarray studies have identified most nitrogen-sensitive genes, nitrogen-induced post-translational regulation has on...

Pmp3p-related proteins are highly conserved proteins that exist in bacteria, yeast, nematodes, and plants, whose transcript is regulated in response to abiotic stress such as low temperature or high salinity. Pmp3p was originally identified in S. cerevisiae where it belongs to the SNA (Sensitive to Na(+)) protein family which is composed of four me...
