Madoulet est Diplômée Pharmacien option Industrie de
la Faculté de Pharmacie de Reims. Attirée par la pharmacologie
anti-tumorale et en particulier le phénomène de résistance
aux agents anticancéreux, elle a abordé le rôle
des glycoprotéines membranaires dans la résistance
aux agents anticancéreux. Ceci lui a permis d'obtenir une
Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches et d'être nommée
Professeur de Biochimie en 2002 à la Faculté de Pharmacie
de Reims. Parallèlement, elle exerce depuis 1981, des activités
de Praticien hospitalier Attaché au Laboratoire de Bactériologie-Virologie-Immunologie
de l'Hôpital Robert Debré à Reims. Depuis 5
ans, son activité de recherche est liée aussi aux
modifications des cibles thérapeutiques qui pourraient accompagner
la résistance, et en particulier, le développement
d'immunothérapie anti-tumorale. Claudie Madoulet est Membre

Enginneer, Research Professor of the spanish CSIC (Research Council)
and Full Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the
Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain.

Condecorated
with the "Cruz de Alfonso X El Sabio" of the spanish
government and Doctor Honoris Causa by the University of Regensburg,
Germany.
The scientific background of Ramon Serrano is based on the training
in the laboratories of three master scientists of modern biology:
the spanish enzymologist Alberto Sols, the american bioenergeticist
Efraim Racker and the american molecular biologists Gerald R.
Fink. Their influence generated an interest at the molecular level
on the connection between membrane transport, enzyme activity
and cell growth.
The first achievement of Ramon Serrano as independent scientist
was the characterization of the proton pump of yeast and plants.
In animal cells, Jens C. Skou (Nobel Prize of Chemistry in 1997)
discovered in the late fifties an ATPase which coupled ATP hydrolysis
to Na and K transport across the plasma membrane. However, this
enzyme does not exist in fungi and plants and the bioenergetics
of the plasma membrane of non-animal cells was plunged into confusion
for many years. Thanks to the work of Ramon Serrano in Spain,
together with that of André Goffeau in Belgium and of Carolyn
W. Slayman in USA, it became clear that the plasma membrane of
fungi and plants is energized by a proton-pumping ATPase, not
by a Na-K dependent enzyme.
Ramon Serrano was also at the frontline in the molecular cloning
of the gene of the yeast proton pump, work performed in collaboration
with Gerald R. Fink at the Whitehead Institute (MIT, Cambridge,
Massachussetts, USA). Also, the plant proton pump was cloned for
the first time in his laboratory at Heidelberg at the same time
than in the laboratory of M.R. Sussman at Madison (USA). These
non-animal H-ATPases belonged to the same protein family than
the Na-K ATPase. Apparently, in the course of evolution, a primaeval
pump had diverged into the animal and non-animal lineages. Animal
cells have a primary sodium pump to regulate its volume and avoid
swelling. On the other hand, fungal and plant cells obviate this
problem by the presence of a rigid cell wall and exploit proton
pumping.
Further work of Ramon Serrano defined the essential residues of
the proton pump and identified a regulatory domain at its carboxyl
terminus as well as a phosphatase domain essential to complete
the catalytic cycle by hydrolysis of the phosphorylated intermediate.
From the physiological point of view, he demonstrated a connection
between cell growth and proton pump activity in yeast. Active
nutrient transport and pH regulation were implicated in this important
phenomenon. In order to extrapolate these results to animal cells,
the yeast proton pump was expressed in fibroblast, which experienced
elevated intracellular pH and increased proliferation (in collaboration
with Rosario Perona, Madrid). In plants, the effect of auxin on
cell growth was correlated with induced expression of the proton
pump (in collaboration with Achim Hager, Tubingen).
Since 1990, Ramon Serrano started to work on the molecular basis
of proton, potassium and sodium homeostasis, utilizing the yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the plant Arabidopsis thaliana as
model system. This was another aspect of the connection between
membrane transport and cell growth and had the social relevance
that it could generate the biotechnological tools to improve the
salt tolerance of crops, an urgent need for the future of agriculture
in irrigated land. This work identified the first target of sodium
toxicity in living cells, the nucleotidase encoded by the yeast
HAL2 gene. This enzyme is very sensitive to inhibition by Li and
Na and it is required to detoxify a metabolite, adenosine-3',5'-diphosphate
or PAP, which inhibits sulfate assimilation, sulfate transfer
and RNA processing. Plant HAL2 homologues were characterized which
could be targets of sodium toxicity. The Hal2 protein has been
crystallized and the molecular basis of Li and Na inhibition characterized
at the atomic level (in collaboration with Armando Albert at Madrid
and Tom Blundel at Cambridge).
The transcription factor Sko1 has been identified by his laboratory
as a repressor of some defense genes modulated by the yeast MAP
kinase Hog1, which is activated by salt stress. This established
a novel paradigm of negative control for salt stress defense genes
such as ENA1 (encoding a Na+ extrussion pump) and HAL1 (encoding
an activator of K+ transport). The identification of protein kinase
(HAL4 and HAL5) and protein phosphatase (PPZ1) genes as modulators
of K+ transport opened the molecular bases of ion homeostasis
in yeast. Ppz1 is inhibited by Hal3 and the Hal3-Ppz1 interaction
is pH-dependent, constituing the first pH sensors identified in
cells.
Latest works of Ramón Serrano have established a connection
between plant sulphydryl oxidases and ion homeostasis through
regulation of potassium transport at the xylem loading interface.
Also, oxidative stress has been found to desensitize ethylene
responses in Arabidopsis.
