Résumé

Sestrins are highly conserved; stress inducible proteins that help maintain metabolic homeostasis and protect cells under stress conditions. They are up-regulated during stress and influence AMPK and mTOR pathways. Our objective was to find the role of Sestrin protein from Dictyostelium discoideum (Dd), a lower eukaryote where starvation stress initiates multicellular development. The single DdSesn-like gene was expressed and its endogenous functions were characterized. Both, the knockout and constitutively expressing strains were made and their involvement in starvation-induced autophagy was analyzed. Autophagic fluxes and ROS levels were also monitored. Additionally, overexpression of DdSesn decreased cell growth and showed a longer lag phase. Upon starvation both DdSesn and ROS levels increased. Sesn
