I'm excited to host the ASBMB LRD seminar series next Thurs 4/9 at 12pm ET. Please join for talks from @zakbaker.bsky.social (from @pagliarini-lab.bsky.social) and Sara Wong (from Adam Hughes' lab) on the intersection of mitochondria and lipid metabolism! Register here: www.asbmb.org/meetings-eve...

Really thrilled to have our work on mitochondrial presequence strength out today @jcb.org. We establish quantitative parameters to better define "strong" and "weak" presequences both in vitro and in vivo. This work was spearheaded by the ever talented Youmian Yan, a BBSB graduate student in my lab.

Very excited to share the published version of our #uridine #CRISPR screen in naturemetabolism.bsky.social! 🎉 Led by Abigail Strefeler with @pagliarini-lab.bsky.social @zakbaker.bsky.social and team! #NUDT5 #DMQ @dib-unil.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s42... 🧵1/17

AND IT'S DONE! A 🧵 on our recent article now out in @natsmb.nature.com! Co-led with @abbybartlett.bsky.social, Pagliarini Lab, @judisimcox.bsky.social, we find ACAD10/11 are NOT like other acyl-CoA dehydrogenases and instead catabolize atypical lipids called 4-hydroxy acids 🤯 doi.org/10.1038/s415...

Very excited to share our latest work, “Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function,” led by the fantastically talented @washubbsb.bsky.social graduate student Youmian Yan. A 🧵 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thrilled to have our story on the regulation of lysosomal lipids out in @cp-cellmetabolism.bsky.social! The work was led by two outstanding grad students Jess Davidson and Raghav Jain probing mechanistic control of energy expenditure @hhmi.org @uwbiochem.bsky.social

excited to share our latest work now online @natmetabolism.nature.com, led by @kyle-flickinger.bsky.social, where we unravel a mechanistic basis for the conditional essentiality of NADK, one of the many interesting hits from our previously reported CRISPR screening with HPLM rdcu.be/ekpu6

Important to celebrate trainee victories: excited to have Holly Merta's @hollymerta.bsky.social paper out! We use TurboID sub-organelle proteomics to map the ER network. We find calmin/CLMN, an ER-to-actin tether regulating focal adhesions & cell motility. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

💫NEW: @zakbaker.bsky.social, Pagliarini & co show that #mitochondria stress recovery requires mobilization of #LipidDroplet triacylglycerol stores to facilitate #cardiolipin biosynthesis and mitochondrial biogenesis. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
