Overview

Thierry Lorca is affiliated with the University of Montpellier in France. Their research primarily focuses on areas within biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with an emphasis on molecular biology and cell biology. Lorca's scientific contributions cover topics such as microtubule and mitosis dynamics, ubiquitin and proteasome pathways, photosynthetic processes and mechanisms, genetics related to aging and longevity, pancreatic function and diabetes, mitochondrial function and pathology, and ATP synthase and ATPases research.

Among their recent published papers are:

  • PP2A-B55: substrates and regulators in the control of cellular functions (2021, Oncogene)
  • Bora phosphorylation substitutes in trans for T-loop phosphorylation in Aurora A to promote mitotic entry (2021, Nature Communications)
  • PP2A-B55 Holoenzyme Regulation and Cancer (2020, Biomolecules)
  • The study of the determinants controlling Arpp19 phosphatase-inhibitory activity reveals an Arpp19/PP2A-B55 feedback loop (2021, Nature Communications)
  • Structural, enzymatic and spatiotemporal regulation of PP2A-B55 phosphatase in the control of mitosis (2022, Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology)

Lorca has collaborated frequently with several researchers, including Anna Castro, Suzanne Vigneron, Jean Claude Labbé, Benjamin Lacroix, and Lionel Pintard. These collaborations have contributed to a significant body of work particularly in molecular and cell biology domains.

Their publications have appeared in notable scientific venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Nature Communications, The EMBO Journal, Oncogene, and Biomolecules. Most of their work is concentrated in highly specialized journals related to cell biology, molecular biology, and cancer research.

Their interdisciplinary expertise encompasses the study of cellular regulation mechanisms, especially concerning mitosis and phosphatase activity, potentially intersecting with cancer biology and aging research. Lorca's work on PP2A-B55 phosphatase and associated regulatory pathways is a recurring subject in their publications.
