Yang et al. show that the secretory pathway kinase Fam20C is retained in the #Golgi via Fam20A-mediated membrane anchoring. Mislocalizing Fam20C alters #secretome phosphorylation, leading to reduced milk quality and subsequent growth retardation in pups. rupress.org/jcb/article/...

ERC success rates are tanking and the move is... even bigger grants for fewer people? smh

Nice paper from Kota @saitolab.bsky.social! Balanced phosphorylation of TANGO1 and Sec16A keep ER exit sites stable and functional. Do cells maintain this dynamically to keep secretory machinery primed and responsive to changing cargo loads or environmental signals? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Check out this new Roadmap, a fantastic team effort by a consortium of ER researchers. Glad we could provide the space for this synthesis, which came out of discussions at a fruitful meeting, see below:

It was a great pleasure to work on this paper. What started as a small meeting in January this year resulted in this beautiful piece of work.

The microbial metabolite preQ1 modifies tRNA, reduces cell proliferation, and decreases protein translation. This is mediated by IRE1-dependent cleavage of preQ1-modified tRNAs. rdcu.be/eHw46

Beautiful work which supports a role for the ER in mechanobiology.

New paper by the Reggiori and Ungermann Labs showing using a yeast model that contact sites between the phagophore and ERES are important for phagophore elongation. rdcu.be/ezUeZ

Great preprint showing that COPII vesicles do exist in vicinity of ERES. Very interesting.

Selective autophagy of organelles: the “disorder” is key. Intrinsically disordered regions of organellophagy receptors are interchangeable, required, and sufficient for organelle fragmentation and lysosomal delivery … and all about ORGATACs 😉 rdcu.be/ey8iL

Great to see this published. Congratulations to the authors- it is a super cool piece of work

Amazing microscopy from Bewersdorf/Rothman groups shows golgins in a striking four-layered structure at the Golgi rim. Biochemical reconstitution shows long filaments. Does a Golgi stack form due to golgin filament properties rather than dedicated stacking proteins? www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
