ATG16L1 controls mammalian vacuolar proton ATPase, say Thabata Duque (@thabataduque.bsky.social), Vojo Deretic and colleagues @unm.edu: rupress.org/jcb/article/... #Autophagy #Biochemistry #Tuberculosis #TB

Really happy with this spotlight about our recent publication! Check also this spotlight on @jcb.org

You still can submit your abstract!!!!

@jcb.org: Duque et al show that a core membrane atg8ylation & #autophagy factor ATG16L1 controls proton V-ATPase under homeostatic conditions, ensuring normo-acidification, preservation of cellular energy charge & function, & defense against #tuberculosis in murine models rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Watch @maxgg.bsky.social, Group Leader at the Crick, as he explains what happens to cells that are infected with tuberculosis and how his lab is studying our bodies’ response to this infection. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWCt...

Happy to share the latest work from the Deretic Lab. We demonstrated that ATG16L1 regulates V-ATPase. Hope you all enjoy the data. hubs.la/Q03Hyqnz0

At least temporarily staving off what many saw as a crushing blow to U.S. biomedical research, a federal judge has suspended a plan by the Trump administration to slash billions of dollars in payments from the NIH that now go to universities to cover the overhead costs of research. scim.ag/40T7g5q

Most American parents hardly give thought to polio beyond the instant their child is immunized against the disease. In its original form, the virus survives in just two countries. But a type linked to an oral vaccine used in other nations has already turned up in the West.

I am not that surprised that more women quit academic publishing than men- this chimes with data showing fewer women get their papers published, grants funded if they lead them and that more women get pushed into support roles. We do need to do more to support and mentor female staff. 🧪

Scientists are starting to study—and debate—how the unique features of Bluesky might affect discussions of research and workplace culture, and efforts to engage with the public. scim.ag/428RTYG

Antibody reliability is a massive problem in research and many companies sell antibodies they know do not work. It is one of the main reasons of the reproducibility crisis. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
