The 95th Harden Conference: Linking Golgi trafficking and glycan function taking place 23-26 June 2026 will bring together glycobiologists with the membrane trafficking community to kickstart new collaborations. Learn more here: https://ow.ly/9Eex50YguUY

Ten more days to apply! We are still looking forward to applications from students eager to study #SPPL3 and other proteases and their role in the regulation of #Golgi #glycosylation. #glycotime

Exciting conference next summer! Greatly appreciate the opportunity to present our work.

Congratulations to Master student Daniel Meisinger from our group who received a Research Festival Award for Outstanding Research Achievements for his poser presentation!

We are looking for a motivated PhD student to join our lab! #SPPL3 #glycotime #Golgi #UniKiel

Our institute's new website is online now: www.biochemie-kiel.de

Another bump for the postdoc and PhD positions still open at the center and postdoc specifically within my group (same link to apply). We’re looking for wet/dry lab, and I’m specifically after people who do magic with computers!

Reminder: our postdoc and PhD positions are still open. We work across different areas (wet and dry lab), but I am especially after people with a computational biology, bioinformatics, pytorch whisperer kind of background. Protein design and OpenFold/AF also counts.

We will be hiring soon! #SPPL3 #glycotime #Golgi

SPPL3 again enters the spotlight...

Regulation of podocyte surface proteins by the enzyme A Disintegrin And Metalloproteinase 10 (ADAM10) doi.org/10.1016/j.kint.2025.04.010 #OpenAccess #kidney #membranousnephropathy #MedSky #NephSky

Happy Golgi day

Great visit in Kiel Biochemistry with Elmar Wolf, Paul Saftig, M. Damme, M. Voß. Talking exciting (lysosome) science at the beautiful Kiel Fjord.

Our final 2024 issue! Highlight: New players in lysosomal sorting via mannose-6-phosphate mRNA deadenylation & decay relations Plant ALBA proteins facilitate m6A reading METTL3/MYCN cooperation and lots more! Cover: Grishma Rane, @denniskappei.bsky.social et al www.embopress.org/toc/14602075...

Interesting paper by Verkerk et al. further supporting that loss of #SPPL3 can lead to tumour immune evasion. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Please also have a look at the News & Views article by Nikita Zubkov and Sean Munro @cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social that accompanies our EMBO J paper: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

Out now in The EMBO Journal: Our collaborative new #Golgi #glycotime story, which shows (i) that B4GALT5, a Golgi enzyme, is subject to M6P tagging and (ii) that GOLPH3/GOLPH3L stabilize LYSET and the GlcNAc-phosphotranferase complex and thus are crucial to cellular M6P tagging. tinyurl.com/jkv26nhh
