Congrats Helen! Well deserved 🎉

Beautiful structures and mind-blowing discovery!

Collective homeostasis of condensation-prone proteins via their mRNAs - Nature The authors discover a homeostatic process termed interstasis, in which an increased concentration of proteins within RNA–protein condensates induces the sequestration of their own mRNAs.

Interstasis, an impressive discovery! It kind of explains some of the odd behaviours of CCDC61, which can actually crystallise in cells when it’s overexpressed. It is a liquid-solid phase separation….

No though we can buy the chlamy pin. Since algea is one of the main themes of the pavilion, Hello Kitty soft toys of other algae types are available😁

SUMO4 promotes SUMO deconjugation required for DNA double-strand-break repair Garvin et al. find that the poorly explored SUMO isoform, SUMO4, enhances the deSUMOylation activity of the SUMO protease SENP1. Consequently, SUMO4 acts to restrain excessive cellular SUMOylation. In...

It's finally out in @cp-molcell.bsky.social. Huge thanks to @leneyms.bsky.social and team Morris @themorrislab.bsky.social for getting this SUMO4 story over the finish line!

A reminder that the Brown lab has an opening for a postdoc fellow: brown.hms.harvard.edu/jobs/242. This might suit someone from the #cilia community interested in learning structural biology. Deadline extended to the 10th Jan.

In Feb 2025 we will host a Virtual Wellcome - Advanced SPA Cryo-EM Course.
The course will be for PhD student, postdoc, staff scientist or young group leaders.

If you think it will benefit you go to the website for more info: astbury.leeds.ac.uk/facilities/w...
Sharing will be appreciated :-)

We have a very cool (I know I am biased😁) project for a computational biologist (postdoc) interested in cancer evolution in collaboration with Nicky McGranahan’s lab! Perfect opportunity to expand your computational skills too!

The intraflagellar transport cycle - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology Intraflagellar transport (IFT) ensures delivery of selected proteins into cilia. The IFT protein complexes IFT-A and IFT-B polymerize at the base of the cilium to form an anterograde train that facili...

Our review of Intraflagellar transport is out now! We cover lots of the recent advances in our understanding of IFT, and where we think there are still some gaps.

Fantastic meeting with a great memorial talk for David Stephens by Anthony Roberts. There were also many stimulating talks by ECRs and Elif Nur Firat-Karalar. Thanks for @urszulamcclurg.bsky.social for organising this event in Liverpool!
