I am very happy that the last bit of my doctorial work has reached the stage to be presented in the form of a preprint! Here we have a look at GGAs and how they might be connected to AP-1 transport. If you enjoy Golgi-endosome transport, please have a look; www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

A wonderful collection of contemporary topics and perspectives on secretion and Golgi biology edited by Akihiko Nakano and Jaakko Saraste. The Golgi Network, Volume II @SN and link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

New preprint from the lab together with @labvanni.bsky.social. We looked what happens to ER generated free very long chain fatty acids.. VLCFAs are partionig into lipid droplets and are extracted from the hydrophobic core by Fat1. www.biorxiv.org/content/bior...

Organelles do NOT have a single uniform pH. And if you think they must, because “protons diffuse fast,” this paper is for you. A thread on why that assumption is wrong; and what we found instead. 🧵 1/n

An Asgard archaeon with internal membrane compartments Brilliant study led by @fmacleod.bsky.social and Andriko von Kügelgen. Tight collaboration with @buzzbaum.bsky.social and lab. Congrats to all authors! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

mStayRose is published in JBC 🥳🎉 Congratulations @wsctt.bsky.social @sporemohan.bsky.social and team for the monumental effort to make a non-natural amino acid incorporating fluorescent protein accessible. It's based on mStayGold, bright, and photostable: www.jbc.org/article/S002...

Attention membrane traffickers! I'm recruiting a post-doc to my lab in Dundee. We're dissecting the functions of intrinsically disordered domains of COPII coat proteins. We think they control timing of coat assembly and morphology of carriers. www.dundee.ac.uk/work-for-us/...

👉 New publication ahead of print from our lab: tinyurl.com/ye7pntte We show that the protein SPG21, mutated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 21, localizes to endolysosomes via RAB7A, where it promotes mTORC1-dependent TFEB phosphorylation, reducing expression of a subset of TFEB regulated genes

Out today in @nature.com: Together with the Honigmann, Shevchenko, Drobot and Hof labs, we present a general workflow for imaging the localization and transport of individual lipids in cells and mapping their metabolism. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Teaching an old bacterial protein new tricks: Fast, bright and reversible rhodamine tags for live-cell imaging: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Congratulations to Julian Kompa and the entire team.

Finally! (remember the famous 2022 ASCB poster and Twitter discussion) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Do you LOVE organelles?? Well I am THRILLED to announce that Nellie has been published in @naturemethods.bsky.social! Nellie a fully automated pipeline for organelle segmentation, tracking, and hierarchical feature extraction in 2D, 3D, timelapse, multichannel live-cell microscopy 🧵1/N

ÅNGSTRÖM-RESOLUTION IMAGING OF CELL-SURFACE GLYCANS 🧬🎨🍬 The glycocalyx, our cells' sugar coat, holds secrets in immunology, cancer, viral infections, and more. Visualizing its molecular architecture was impossible… until now. #glycotime #microscopy www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

It’s incredibly hard to study lipids in biological membranes on the nanoscale. You need near-perfect information on both membrane ultrastructure and lipid density, which usually isn’t attainable. Lipid-CLEM brought to you by @mathilda95.bsky.social changes that. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Love #lipids and #membranes??? Then you cannot miss these seminars tomorrow with two amazing rising ⭐️ ⭐️ @abelljonny.bsky.social @ibudin.bsky.social
