The @natsmb.nature.com March issue is out! Though always interested in proteostasis, in 2026 we have published and will continue to do so relevant content. Our editorial www.nature.com/articles/s41... recaps why the processes and mechanisms of proteostasis continue to interest us.
The E3 ubiquitin ligase mechanism specifying target-directed microRNA degradation (TDMD) is now published! 🎉🍾 We, @bartellab.bsky.social and Schulman lab, describe how 2-RNA factors control protein degradation by recruiting an E3 ligase. @mpibiochem.bsky.social

As someone who’s published a couple of two-authored papers:
Yes, they're RARE...
but absolutely possible to conceptualise, execute, draft, and publish with just one or two people.
And when it lands, the sense of ownership and satisfaction is unmatched...

Once a pitch, now a discovery 🔬
Our study provides the first mechanistic explanation of Lis1’s dual role in regulating dynein function is now out in @cp-cellreports.bsky.social
We clarify how Lis1 can both activate and restrain dynein, resolving a longstanding paradox in the field.
XIII-ZOMES & 11th Proteasome Joint Meeting
📍 Montpellier, South of France

Ways for overcoming challenges as a new PI, dealing with bureaucracy, hiring people for the team and ways to keep them.
Such kind of sorts, I think.

I use Google keep. I like the list feature, image attachment option, sync and accessibility on any device.
These are my must-haves
COP9 signalosome and PRMT5 methylosome complexes are essential regulators of Lis1-dynein based transport www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04....
There is absolutely nothing funny about this btw
COP9 signalosome and PRMT5 methylosome complexes are essential regulators of Lis1-dynein based transport www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.04....
A dragon is born every time a reviewer responds that they cannot review the paper, but by the way, from the abstract this looks completely flawed.
Thank you so much Samatha for keeping my hopes up 🤞🏽
