Main research projects

My research projects are mostly related to proteomics and bio-informatics. My previous development provides an interesting approach for large scale characterisation of protein N-term modification (Bienvenut et al., BMC Bioinformatics, 2017) and N-term acetylation quantitation (Bienvenut et al.,Meth Mol Biol, 2017). This work was at the origin of the N-terDB which provides experimentally characterised N-termini and N-term acetylation yield. Collected data were valorised through the development of new predictions tools that outperform the traditional TargetP or ChloroP (soon available at N-terPred   ).

I am now working at the Génétique Quantitative et Évolution - Le Moulon. My new interest is related to the determination of large-scale protein turnover in plants using 15N metabolic labelling to better understand plant stress resistance and the pathway involved in draw stress resistance.

Database and prediction tools

  • N-TerDB   : experimentally characterised protein N-terminal database for few different species including H. sapiens, A. thaliana, E. coli…
  • N-terPred   : Prediction tool for the protein N-terminal maturation including iMet excision, N-term acetylation, transit peptide cleavage site, sub cellular localisation (chloroplast and mitochondria)…

Grant

2014-2018: Coordinator of the ANR project ANR-13-BSV6-0004-01 entitled “Energy conversion organelles N-terminus proteome: A better understanding of organelle protein maturation.”
