Large-scale climatic anomalies affect marine predator foraging behaviour and demography
Charles-André Bost,Cédric Cotté,Pascal Terray,Christophe Barbraud,Cécile Bon,Karine Delord,Olivier Gimenez,Yves Handrich,Yasuhiko Naito,Christophe Guinet,Henri Weimerskirch +10 more
TL;DR: This work shows how large-scale climatic anomalies in the Southern Hemisphere affect the foraging behaviour and population dynamics of a key marine predator, the king penguin, and highlights a possible behavioural mechanism through which climate variability may affect population processes.
The Polyketide Synthase Pks13 Catalyzes a Novel Mechanism of Lipid Transfer in Mycobacteria
Sabine Gavalda,Fabienne Bardou,Fabienne Bardou,Françoise Laval,Françoise Laval,Cécile Bon,Wladimir Malaga,Wladimir Malaga,Christian Chalut,Christian Chalut,Christophe Guilhot,Christophe Guilhot,Lionel Mourey,Lionel Mourey,Mamadou Daffé,Mamadou Daffé,Annaïk Quémard,Annaïk Quémard +17 more
TL;DR: It is shown here that FAAL32-Pks13 catalyzes itself the release of the neosynthesized products and demonstrate that this function is carried by its thioesterase-like domain, which exhibits an acyltransferase activity and transfers Pks13's products onto an acceptor molecule, mainly trehalose, leading to the formation of the tre Halose monomycolate precursor.

Crystal structure of γ-tubulin complex protein GCP4 provides insight into microtubule nucleation
Valérie Guillet,Valérie Guillet,Martine Knibiehler,Lynn Gregory-Pauron,Lynn Gregory-Pauron,Marie-Hélène Remy,Cécile Chemin,Brigitte Raynaud-Messina,Cécile Bon,Cécile Bon,Justin M. Kollman,David A. Agard,Andreas Merdes,Lionel Mourey,Lionel Mourey +14 more
TL;DR: The crystal structure of human GCP4 is reported and it is shown that its C-terminal domain binds directly to γ-tubulin, revealing the nature of protein-protein interactions and conformational changes regulating nucleation activity.
Chemical kin label in seabirds
Aurélie Célérier,Aurélie Célérier,Cécile Bon,Aurore Malapert,Pauline Palmas,Francesco Bonadonna +5 more
TL;DR: The results confirm the existence of an individual olfactory signature in blue petrels and show for the first time, to the knowledge, that birds may exhibit an Olfactory kin label, which may have strong implications for inbreeding avoidance.

Influence of oceanographic structures on foraging strategies: Macaroni penguins at Crozet Islands.
Cécile Bon,Alice Della Penna,Francesco d'Ovidio,John Y. P. Arnould,Timothée A. Poupart,Charles-André Bost +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that penguins adjust their travel speed and movement during their whole trips in relation with the oceanographic structures visited, and at a large scale, it is hypothesized that Macaroni penguins target the sub Antarctic Front to find profitable patches of their main prey.
