We offer a PostDoc position for a fully funded project on lipid-encoded #lipidtime protein quality-control checkpoints at the Golgi: great collaborators, excellent working & living conditions & benchspace with a view ;) Please share and repost!

New preprint from the lab together with @labvanni.bsky.social. We looked what happens to ER generated free very long chain fatty acids.. VLCFAs are partionig into lipid droplets and are extracted from the hydrophobic core by Fat1.

The Myo2 adaptor Ldm1 and its receptor Ldo16 mediate actin-dependent lipid droplet motility Zhao et al. identify the molecular machinery for lipid droplet motility, consisting of the type V myosin Myo2, the Myo2 adaptor protein Ldm1, and its surface receptor Ldo16. They uncover a molecular l...
