We are pleased to announce that registration and abstract submission for ENPER 2026 are now open! The 25th meeting of the ENPER community will be held in Sofia over three days. Please visit the conference website for more details: enper2026.bio21.bas.bg

Plants use cell-surface and intracellular receptors that collaborate to detect pathogens🦠. We discovered that a key #ubiquitin recognition event recruits both receptor types into an unexpected dual receptor complex that boost the translation of defence proteins and establishes robust #PlantImmunity👇🏾

Save the date: the 5th International Brassinosteroid conference will be held in Guangzhou, China, from November 13–15, 2026, hosted by Guangzhou University.

Don’t miss this! The young researchers in our GreenTE consortium initated a webinar series on Plant Mechanobiology. Amazing speakers, free of charge, what is there NOT to like…?

Thank you @jennyrussinova.bsky.social for visiting us in Toulouse for our @tulip-gs-labex.bsky.social seminar series. Plant cell biology at its best, and so many new avenues explored in brassinosteroid signaling and homeostasis 😎 ! Mind-blowing... @lrsv-toulouse.bsky.social

Our new year starts of course with new preprint on brassinosteroid signaling tinyurl.com/nhzcfkxd. We re-analyzed the function of Kelch phosphatases, which were previously characterized as protein tyrosine phosphatases that dephosphorylate the critical pTyr200 in the GSK3 kinase BIN2. (1/6)

Excited to share our latest work to close out 2025: Dynamic ASK1 proximity networks uncover SCF-dependent and noncanonical roles in ABA and drought adaptation🌱 With @justinwwalley.bsky.social , we map how ASK1/SKP1 dynamically rewires protein networks during stress www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Excited to share our work on inhibitors turning degraders now out: doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Sorry here is the good link doi.org/10.1111/nph....

Thrilled to share that the final piece of my PhD work is now on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.1... With support from @nvidia and the @NSF, we used AlphaFold to screen 1.6M+ protein pairs, revealing thousands of potential novel PPIs. All data can be viewed at predictomes.org/hp

Our latest T7SS study is now out in Science Advances! We solved the cryoEM structure of the T7SSb core unit (T7bCU) composed of YukB, YukC, and YukD from Bacillus subtilis, revealing how these components assemble within the secretion machinery. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

This looks interesting 👀 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New Article: "A combined biochemical and computational approach provides evidence for membrane remodelling by the structural scaffold of the endocytic TPLATE complex" rdcu.be/eP4fX ... to generate a comprehensive structure of the multisubunit endocytic TPLATE complex.

Tellement vrai !!! Merci Alain Prochiantz pour cette tribune dans Le Monde.

Beautilful talk by Takashi Ueda for the annual meeting of our TULIP excellence initiative in Toulouse. Thanks Takashi for showcasing all we can learn from super-resolution imaging !

The University of Toulouse has 44 postdoc positions to fill (Horizon Europe MSCA-COFUND). My lab is looking for candidates to apply and work on how plants regulate cell surface levels of receptors or transporters in response to heat. Please DM me if interested! tiris.univ-toulouse.fr/en/programs/...

Excited to share our pre-print on how Sphingolipid-driven interleaflet coupling orchestrates ROP6 recruitment to nanodomains upon auxin. Great job from my PhD student Matheus Montrazi, @arthur-poitout.bsky.social, @alexmartiniere.bsky.social, @yvonjaillais.bsky.social www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Another great collaboration with @trevormnolan.bsky.social and @nvukas.bsky.social where we give our vision on how brassinosteroid research can pave the way to precision plant engineering www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Arabidopsis thaliana was always an unlikely candidate for the limelight. But 25 years ago, the diminutive thale cress launched the botanical world into the molecular era. ✍️ Rachel Ehrenberg knowmag.org/4hImL8e

🚨 New in Developmental Cell @Dev_Cell Our team uncovered how plants sense phosphorus deficiency and delay flowering — a molecular “switch” that links nutrient stress to development. A step toward breeding nutrient-smart crops! authors.elsevier.com/a/1m2id5Sx5g... @MSU_PRI @MSUAgBio @MSU_PSM

Have a look at this Tools of the Trade Article I wrote for @natrevmcb.nature.com on decoding #ubiquitin signals inside cells using UbiREAD! Many thanks to @lisaheinke.bsky.social for the opportunity to write this TotT!

Ubiquitinylation is more complex than just a signal for proteasomal degradation: Linear ubiquitinylation of Methionine-1 is important for NFkB signalling. LOF of the Deubiquitinylase OTULIN leads to an autoinflammatory disease with a TNF positive feedback loop. 🧪 ⑂ 1/2

Dear ENPER community, We are pleased to invite you to the next ENPER meeting, which will be held in my country Bulgaria, from 26 to 28 August 2026 in Sofia. Save the Date!🌱🌱🌱

A lot of pressure on the different grant schemes, and pretty much independent of career stage.

Finally, someone has solved a real problem with AI! No more having to take a paper in the format for a journal that rejected you, and reformat it for a new journal. Well done!! formatmypaper.com
