remarkable study.

a synthesis of so many dimensions of immune cell morphology, covid derived xenoAMP membrane disruption including differential sub-population effects that harmonize with clinical observations and the natural history of #LC

amazing methodological and computational firepower.

Finally
The endosomal signalling lipid PI(3)P is crucial for cargo sorting. But how is PI(3)P homeostasis regulated? And how is this coupled to the sorting of cargo through endosomes?
We have uncovered a simple mechanism that couples cargo sorting to membrane identity

Cargo levels control endosomal PI(3)P homeostasis through direct feedback between SNX17 and MTM1
The sorting of internalised cell surface proteins through the endosomal network is crucial for cellular function. Phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PI(3)P) is a critical lipid identity cue for organis...

Got my most important citation today....from my daughter!

She will make an excellent reviewer 2 because she asked me to be more precise in my wording next time and to clarify if the RER or SER is contiguous with the outer nuclear membrane!

It all started with the simple goal of optimizing metal assays. And it ended three years later discovering that the cell wall acts as a metal sensor for dynamic and reciprocal control of vesiculation and nanowire assembly. Science works in mysterious ways! 💥

In the second preprint www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6..., Andriy Volkov mapped the minimal region in Arabidopsis SOSEKI1 that guides polar plasma membrane localization. We previously inferred an 80 amino acid “polarity domain (PD)” that seemed to encode all relevant signals for polarization (6/14)

Accurate spatial distribution of polar proteins is essential for cell function, but mechanisms underlying polar protein targeting in plants are poorly understood. Here, we dissect the molecular mechan...
