Protein export in prokaryotes and eukaryotes: indications of a difference in the mechanism of exportation
J Mol Evol (1986) 24: 130-142

In this paper we show that an approach based on artificial intelligence (learning by discrimination) allows one to identify seventeen descriptors of Escherichia coli signal peptides, while only three had been uncovered until then by specialists of protein export. This work was much used by legal advisors when analysing patent applications, to invalidate claims made by many creators of artificial systems for protein export

Dans cet article nous montrons qu'une approche d'intelligence artificielle (apprentissage par discrimination) permet d'identifier dix-sept descripteurs des peptides signaux du colibacille, alors que trois seulement avaient été identifiés jusque là par les spécialistes du domaine. Ce travail sera beaucoup utilisé par les cabinets d'analyse des demandes de brevets pour invalider les revendications de bien des constructeurs de systèmes artificiels de sécrétion des protéines

Naître et mourir
Corps Ecrit (1987) 21: 37-42

Dans cette conférence à l'occasion du dixième anniversaire de sa mort, j'ai montré que l'épigraphe du livre célèbre de Jacques Monod, Le Hasard et la Nécessité, la citation qu'il attribue à Démocrite ne peut être correcte, mais que, bien au contraire, la pensée Grecque supposait le règne de l'ordre, et que les choses évoluent par l'exploration. Je montrais de plus que le concept d'entropie était associée de façon erronée au désordre, alors que, là encore, il aurait fallu l'associer à l'exploration. Quelques conséquences biologiques de ces observations étaient aussi discutées.

In this lecture in memory of the tenth anniversary of his death, I showed that the epigraph of the famous book of Jacques Monod, Chance and Necessity, the quotation he attributes to Democritus cannot be correct, but that, in contrast, there was rule of order in Greek thought that allowed things to evolve through exploration. I further argued that the concept of entropy was wrongly associated to disorder, instead of, once again exploration. Some biological consequences of these views were also discussed.

Origin of mutants disputed
Nature (1988) 336: 527

Cairns started a heated debate about the possibility of directed mutations ("adaptive mutations") in bacteria. This lettre challenges this interpretation by showing that the experimental setup is heavily biased. A series of experiments, performed with students of the Microbiology course at the Institut Pasteur later on demonstrated that bacteria could only be Lamarkian if they were very intelligent organisms! Modulation of mutagenesis under stressful conditions is enough to give rise to the behaviour observed.

Cairns a déclenché un débat houleux en croyant démontrer l'existence de mutations orientées chez les bactéries. Cette lettre met en doute cette interprétation en montrant que les conditions sont biaisées. Des expériences réalisées avec les étudiants du cours de Microbiologie de l'Institut Pasteur on démontré plus tard que si les bactéries étaient Lamarckistes, c'est qu'elles seraient très intelligentes. La modulation du taux de mutation dans des conditions difficiles suffit à rendre compte des observations.

Mutations in the bglY gene increase the frequency of spontaneous deletions in Escherichia coli K-12
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A (1990) 87: 360-363

In this work we identify bglY (now hns) as the first deletion-generating mutator gene. hns deficient E. coli mutants spontaneously make deletions and no more point mutations than the wild type. This suggests that bacteria have a specific mechanism to delete large sets of genes.

Dans cet article nous identifions le premier gène mutateur connu (bglY, connu aujourd'hui comme hns), dont l'action est de conduire systématiquement à des délétions de régions chromosomiques, plutôt qu'à des mutations ponctuelles. Cela suggère que les bactéries ont un mécanisme spécifique pour la délétion de gènes entiers.

The exponential increase in sequence and mapping data for the Escherichia coli chromosome necessitates relatively sophisticated software for the analysis of new information and compile updates. In this issue (p. 169) Medigue et al. describe a programme for placing any DNA sequence on the known restriction map of the E. coli chromosome. Together with details of the software is the latest update of the E. coli chromosomal map Indicating the positions of restriction sites, known genes and sequenced regions. The map updates and corrects the original restriction map of Kohara et al. (1987). To provide a service to readers. Molecular Microbiology will publish a yearly update of this map. Antoine Danchin has kindly agreed to co-ordinate this effort, using sequences deposited in the EMBL/GenBank Data Libraries, as well as those sent directly to him. Furthermore, Antoine Danchin is prepared to analyse any unpublished sequences sent to him and locate them on the revised map. At regular intervals, as new data accumulate, a page of the Journal will be devoted to providing updated information on new genes or regions sequenced, their locations, and the workers from whom further information can be obtained. All sequence data should be sent directly to Antoine Danchin, at the address below, as an ASC II file through EARN/BITNET: REG@PASTEUR. If information Is required about other means of providing sequence data, Antoine Danchin should be contacted. We hope and intend that this initiative will provide a useful service for molecular geneticists working with E. coli.

Well before the genome sequence was completed one third of the E. coli genome sequence was known. This permitted investigators to analyse the frequency of motifs, or words, in the genome. This article describes the distribution of the 16 palidromic tetranucleotides and shows that CTAG (and more generally CCTAGG) is particularly rare, while palidromic hexanucleotides are not distributed randomly in the E. coli genome.

Bien avant que sa séquence complète soit connue un tiers de la séquence du génome de E. coli se trouvait déjà dans les banques de données.

Phylogeny of adenylyl cyclases
Adv Second Messenger Phosphoprotein Res (1993) 27: 109-162 part 1 part 2

This article is the international reference for the classification of adenylyl (adenylate) cyclases, as made of three classes of phylogenetically independent origin (phylogenetic convergence). A fourth class, also of a different descent, has been later on discovered in the Unit.  An important feature of this work was the suggestion that the presence of multiple cyclases can be accounted for by the fact that it is not cyclic AMP per se which is the real regulator, but its spatial or, most probably, temporal distribution: specific variation in the concentration of cAMP are recognised by receptors-regulators which control in a highly discriminant way the action of each cyclase, in a way somewhat similar of the recognition of firing  pattern pulses in neurons

Cet article constitue la référence internationale pour la classification des adénylcyclases, sous la forme de trois classes d'origine évolutive différente (convergence évolutive). Une quatrième classe, elle aussi d'origine différente a été découverte dans l'Unité quelques années plus tard. Un autre aspect de ce travail est de proposer que la présence de cyclase multiples s'explique par le fait que ce n'est pas la molécule d'AMPcyclique qui est l'effecteur réel, mais sa répartition dans l'espace, ou plus probablement sa répartition dans le temps : ce sont des variations particulières de la concentration de l'AMPc qui sont reconnues par des récepteurs-régulateurs, et qui contrôlent de façon spécifique l'action de telle ou telle cyclase

Cet article montre, pour la première fois, que dans un long fragment génomique, la moitié des gènes ne ressemble à rien de connu jusqu'alors. Ce résultat, présenté à un symposium organisé par l'Union Européenne à Elounda en Crète, en 1991, marquait la première découverte majeure issue des programmes de séquençage des génomes

This article shows, for the first time, that in a long genome fragment, half of the genes does not look like anything previously known. This observation, presented at a symposium organized by the European Union in Elounda in Crete, in 1991, was the landmark of the first major discovery stemming from genome sequencing programs

SubtiList: a relational database for the Bacillus subtilis genome
Microbiology (1995) 141 ( Pt 2): 261-268  

In this paper we present the reference database for the Bacillus subtilis genome. We show how this database can be used to extract high level information about the genome. As an example we illustrate the distribution of isoelectric points in all the proteins of B. subtilis. We discover that the distribution is uneven, and that there the region with pI approximately 7.6 lacks proteins. Remarkably, the proteins in the region are often annotated as related to functions involving protons or as secreted proteins. This is consistent with an internal level of protons availability that would correspond to this pI. Hence, the pI can be used as a specific neighborhood permitting inferences about the function of unknown proteins. This approach was proposed in many lectures as allowing efficient functional inference. It has been generalized later on by a variety of works.

Dans cet article nous présentons la base de données de référence pour le génome de Bacillus subtilis. Nous montrons comment elle peut être utilisée pour extraire une information de haut niveau à propos du génome. Nous donnons l'exemple de la répartition des points isoélectriques du protéome de B. subtilis, et découvrons qu'elle est bi-modale, avec un manque considérable de protéines ayant un pI de l'ordre de 7,6. C'est d'autant plus intéressant que les annotations des protéines de cette région du diagramme sont annotées comme mettant en œuvre des protons ou comme des protéines sécrétées. C'est compatible avec un niveau de protons accessibles correspondant à ce point isoélectrique. Le pI peut donc être utilisé pour faire des inférences fonctionnelles à propos des protéines de fonction inconnue. Cet exemple a été utilisé au cours de nombreuses conférences pour proposer la méthode des "voisinages" dans l'inférence fonctionnelle.

Comparison between the Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis genomes suggests that a major function of polynucleotide phosphorylase is to synthesize CDP
DNA Res (1997) 4: 9-18

Deoxyribonucleotides are synthesized in an odd way: they start from ribonucleoside diphosphates, not triphosphates. However, there is no direct de novo synthesis of CDP, so that DNA synthesis would not be possible if CMP, or CDP were not produced through recycling processes. In prokaryotes, this is performed by mRNA turnover, and in eukaryotes, rich in membranes, this is produced by membranes biosynthesis

Les désoxyribonucléotides sont synthétisés de façon étrange : ils viennent des ribonucléoside diphosphates, pas des triphosphates. Or il n'y a pas de synthèse de novo du CDP, et la synthèse de l'ADN devrait être impossible si le CMP ou le CDP n'étaient produits par recyclage. Chez les procaryotes, cela est réalisé par la dégradation de l'ARN, et chez les eucaryotes riches en membranes, c'est le résultat de la synthèse des phospholipides

The complete genome sequence of the gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis
Nature (1997) 390: 249-256   

L'idée du séquençage du génome de Bacillus subtilis, proposée à la Société Française de Microbiologie au début de l'année 1987 s'achevait dix ans plus tard après des péripéties compliquées (résumées dans La Barque de Delphes). De très nombreuses observations sont issues de ce programme, en particulier l'existence d'un très grand nombre de gènes à la fonction inconnue, et d'une frange de gènes "orphelins" dont les propriétés spécifiques ont été découvertes six ans plus tard. Comme dans le cas de E. coli, on trouvait aussi dans ce génome que bien des gènes se propagent par transfert horizontal. Ce génome a été si difficile à séquencer (pour des raisons moléculaires comprises un peu plus tard), qu'il est resté durant cinq an le seul connu de ce type (un génome riche en A+T de Firmicute)

The idea of sequencing the Bacillus subtilis genome, proposed by the scientific coordinator at a meeting of the French Society for Microbiology in 1987, was completed ten years later after a quite hectic series of events (summarized in The Delphic Boat). Many fascinating observations came out of this programme, in particular the noteworthy existence of very many genes of unknown function, and a fraction of "orphan" genes with specific features uncovered six years later. As in in E. coli, one also observed in this genome that many genes are propagated by horizontal transfer. This genome was so difficult to sequence (for molecular reasons later understood), that it remained the only one of its kind (the genome of an A+T-rich Firmicute) for five years
