Happy to share the latest from the lab, led by Daniel Alvarez, in collaboration with @lizconibear.bsky.social‬. In this AA-MD tour-de-force, we delve deep into the mechanism and energetics of lipid uptake by bridge-like lipid transfer proteins, and we learn a few interesting things along the way...

Happy to share the latest work from the lab, led by @mudgal17.bsky.social‬, in collaboration with the Weis lab @ethzurich.bsky.social. How do nuclear membranes fuse during NPC assembly? We answer this question in our latest work, where we identify a new mechanism for membrane fusion… (1/13)

PFAS surfactants self-assemble into vesicles. Exciting results based on Martini simulations from Bei Yan, highlighted in Nature: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Happy to share the latest from the lab, with @lizconibear.bsky.social lab. The title says it all: we identified poorly characterised TMEM170 proteins as lipid scramblases that physically associate in the ER with BLTP1/LPD-3/Csf1. We think this has key implications in lipid transport/homeostasis...

We have an open PhD position in molecular modeling to work on the recognition of pollutants by fish receptors. More information and application procedure: www.jobbnorge.no/en/available... Come and work with us ;)

At membrane contact sites, bridge-like transport proteins, e.g. LPD-3, mediate bulk lipid transfer between cellular organelles. @nature see cryo-EM structure of native LDP-3, and gain insights into its functioning and interaction with other proteins and lipids. shorturl.at/lycuz & shorturl.at/ARpUK

Super excited to share this as my first post with the 🦋 world! In my first co-correspondent article, we (@Mayra Borrero @Agnieszka Chacińska @IMOL Institute) look at the roles of lipids in mitochondrial protein import complexes (spoiler: there are plenty!) &call for methods (spoiler: there are few!)

Our lab is hiring 1 PhD and 1 Postdoc to study the mechanism of lipid transport using computational methods (Molecular Dynamics, AI). Fully funded by @snsf-ch.bsky.social for 4 years, with amazing collaborators and excellent life and working conditions. Apply by email. Please share and repost!

A short reminder that registrations for the EMBO ESCRT meeting 2025 in Montreux June 23rd-June27th are still opened! Please register online at meetings.embo.org/event/25-escrt

thank you - it’s an important paper!!

As usual, do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or want to discuss more. This is what science is about. And I promise that I will be faster to keep everyone posted on our results in the near future!

Finally, a couple of nice preprints from younger members of the lab. Pre-doc Mira Mors (now PhD student in Stuttgart) contributed to this thorough screening of amphipathic helices by @shoken-lee.bsky.social from the @bahmanyarlab.bsky.social lab! (1/2) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Star PhD student Cristian Rocha Roa, in collaboration with Jieqiong Gao and the Ungermann lab, identified endosomal protein Any1 in yeast, and SLC66A2 in human, as novel lipid scramblases. (1/2) rupress.org/jcb/article/...

The work of “soon-to-be” (we will miss her!) graduate Jennifer Sapia on the S-acylase ABHD17 (in collaboration with the lab of @lizconibear.bsky.social and grad student Sydney Holme) is also out! (1/3) buff.ly/4b3E0xy

Talented postdoc Akhil Singh (with help from recent graduate Janak Prabhu) provided a thorough investigation of RNA-membrane interactions using AA simulations, finding that RNA order regulates its interactions with zwitterionic bilayers (1/2) pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

While it is getting (for me, at least) more and more difficult to cheer about scientific achievements given the times we live in, I nevertheless feel the need to highlight a few recent publications and preprints by outstanding members of the lab. They certainly deserve all the spotlight!

Dear #LipidDroplet friends, we are so much looking forward to the 2nd edition of our #EMBOLipidDroplets Workshop. Join us 21-26 September 2025 at beautiful Costa Brava! Abstract submission deadline is 10 June 2025. @embo.org @biologists.bsky.social meetings.embo.org/event/25-lip...

Enjoying #BPS2025! I'll present my development of a ML predictor of domain–peptide binding affinity to understand how affinity is optimized across the proteome for cell signaling. Finish out the meeting by coming to my talk tomorrow (Wed) @ 1pm!

How do complex social behaviors evolve and shape species' success? Here doi.org/10.1038/s420... we reveal how a key social behavior in ants - mouth-to-mouth food sharing #trophallaxis - emerged as ants opportunistically exploited new ecological niches as terrestrial environments changed.

ABHD17 enzymes remove fatty acids from #membrane proteins like NRas. New work from Holme, Sapia, @labvanni.bsky.social, Conibear et al. show that their activity depends on two mobile regions: an S-acylated N-terminal helix and a loop. https://buff.ly/4b3E0xy
