    Abstract Bacteria are social microorganisms that use communication systems known as quorum sensing (QS) to regulate diverse cellular behaviors including the production of various secreted molecules. Bacterial secondary metabolites are widely studied for their bioactivities including antibiotic, antifungal, antiparasitic, and cytotoxic compounds. Besides playing a crucial role in natural bacterial niches and intermicrobial competition by targeting neighboring organisms and conferring survival advantages to the producer, these bioactive molecules may be of prime interest to develop new antimicrobials or anticancer therapies. This review focuses on bioactive compounds produced under acyl homoserine lactone-based QS regulation by Gram-negative bacteria that are pathogenic to humans and animals, including the

    Abstract Quorum sensing (QS) is a molecular communication system used by microorganisms to adopt behaviors in a cell density-dependent manner. Lactonase enzymes, able to hydrolyze the signal molecules acyl-homoserine lactones (AHL) can counteract QS-mediated virulence in Gram-negative bacteria. Optimizing lactonases activity or specificity for AHL through enzyme engineering approaches is thus highly attractive to increase protective effect. However, only a limited number of screening methods have been developed to handle and evaluate AHL-degrading enzyme libraries. Here, a series of screening procedures were developed to identify improved lactonases using two previously reported enzymes as benchmarks, namely SsoPox and GcL. Specifically, molecular screenings using six different AHL and based on two reporter strains; i.e., Chromobacterium violaceum CV026 and Pseudomonas putida KS35, are reported. In addition, three phenotype-based screenings aiming to evaluate the ability of enzymes to quench a particular QS-related behavior are reported, using C. violaceum, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio harveyi as pathogenic type strains. These assays were used to screen a small-sized library and allowed for the identification of various improved variants. To confirm that these variants were real "hits", four of them were produced and purified. Their kinetic parameters against AHL substrates were found to be increased by 2-44.5 -fold as compared to the starting enzyme. Moreover, their increased activity was confirmed by measuring their ability to quench QS in different bacterial systems. These new assays will facilitate the screening of enzyme libraries and will pave the way for the development of proficient engineered QS-disrupting enzymes.

    Abstract Organophosphorus compounds (OP) are highly toxic molecules used as insecticides that inhibit cholinesterase enzymes involved in neuronal transmission. The intensive use of OP for vector control and agriculture has led to environmental pollutions responsible for severe intoxications and putative long-term effects on humans and wild animals. Many in vivo models were studied over the years to assess OP acute toxicity, but the long-term effects are poorly documented. Planarian, a freshwater flatworm having a cholinergic system, has emerged as a new original model for addressing both toxicity and developmental perturbations. We used Schmidtea mediterranea planarians to evaluate long-term effects of paraoxon-ethyl at two sublethal concentrations over three generations. Toxicity, developmental perturbations and disruption of behavior were rapidly observed and higher sensitivity to paraoxon-ethyl of next generations was noticed suggesting that low insecticide doses can induce transgenerational effects. With the view of limiting OP poisoning, SsoPox, an hyperthermostable enzyme issued from the archaea Saccharolobus solfataricus, was used to degrade paraoxon-ethyl prior to planarian exposure. The degradation products, although not lethal to the worms, were found to decrease cholinesterase activities for the last generation of planarians and to induce abnormalities albeit in lower proportion than insecticides.

    Abstract β-lactamase enzymes have generated significant interest due to their ability to confer resistance to the most commonly used family of antibiotics in human medicine. Among these enzymes, the class B β-lactamases are members of a superfamily of metallo-β-lactamase (MβL) fold proteins which are characterised by conserved motifs (i.e., HxHxDH) and are not only limited to bacteria. Indeed, as the result of several barriers, including low sequence similarity, default protein annotation, or untested enzymatic activity, MβL fold proteins have long been unexplored in other organisms. However, thanks to search approaches which are more sensitive compared to classical Blast analysis, such as the use of common ancestors to identify distant homologous sequences, we are now able to highlight their presence in different organisms including Bacteria, Archaea, Nanoarchaeota, Asgard, Humans, Giant viruses, and Candidate Phyla Radiation (CPR). These MβL fold proteins are multifunctional enzymes with diverse enzymatic or non-enzymatic activities of which, at least thirteen activities have been reported such as β-lactamase, ribonuclease, nuclease, glyoxalase, lactonase, phytase, ascorbic acid degradation, anti-cancer drug degradation, or membrane transport. In this review, we (i) discuss the existence of MβL fold enzymes in the different domains of life, (ii) present more suitable approaches to better investigating their homologous sequences in unsuspected sources, and (iii) report described MβL fold enzymes with demonstrated enzymatic or non-enzymatic activities.

    Abstract Neurodegenerative disorders are a major public health issue. Despite decades of research efforts, we are still seeking an efficient cure for these pathologies. The initial paradigm of large aggregates of amyloid proteins (amyloid plaques, Lewis bodies) as the root cause of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases has been mostly dismissed.

    Title translation Organophosphorus poisoning: Towards enzymatic treatments.
    Abstract Organophosphorus compounds (OP) are toxic molecules developed as insecticides and chemical warfare nerve agents (CWNAs). Most OP are neurotoxic and act as nervous system disruptors by blocking cholinergic transmission. They are therefore responsible for many poisonings worldwide. OP toxicity may result either from acute or chronic exposure, and their poisoning effect were evaluated using several animal models. These latter were also used for evaluating the efficacy of antidotes. Strategies based on enzymes that can trap (stoichiometric bioscavengers) or degrade (catalytic bioscavengers) OP, were particularly studied since they allow effective decontamination, without toxicity or environmental impact. This review summarizes the results obtained in vivo with enzymes through three levels: prophylaxis, treatment and external decontamination. The efficiency of enzymatic treatments in different animal models is presented and the relevance of these models is also discussed for a better extrapolation to humans.

    Abstract Since a few decades, a new invertebrate animal model has emerged in toxicology studies: the planarian. This non-parasitic flatworm, from phylum Platyhelminthes, has an amazing regenerative capacity and has been described as "immortal under the edge of the knife" in 1814 by Dalyell. This formidable capacity is due to the abundance of stem cells called neoblasts, allowing for a tiny fragment equivalent to 1/279
