Cool work from the McDole lab just published. Primordial germ cells have to endure some pretty tight spaces on their journey!

Microscopic view of a glowing, irregularly shaped primordial germ cell with long protrusions with purple and green fluorescence against a dark blue background.
How do primordial germ cells (PGCs) migrate across a developing embryo?
#LMBResearch from Katharine Goodwin and Kate McDole (@cellbiol-mrclmb.bsky.social) uncovers the mechanisms PGCs use in mouse embryos to navigate this long and surprisingly risky journey.

Thanks to co-authors Li Jin, Nanami Satoh and @marta-shahbazi.bsky.social, who made important contributions (6/6)
This work, which was led by a terrific postdoc @lucas-albacete-x2.bsky.social, paves the way for dissecting molecular mechanisms that link localisation of various organelles to gene expression regulation (5/5).
Our findings indicate that perinuclear localisation of organelles promotes expression of genes that protect against damage. Remarkably, whereas some genes depend on localisation of a single organelle for robust activation, others depend on a specific combination of organelles (4/n)
Is organelle repositioning an epiphenomenon or part of the adaptive response to stress? We tackled this question in multiple ways, including by inducible dispersion of specific organelles via tethering to an active kinesin motor (3/n)
We show that perinuclear clustering of organelles is a widespread response to oxidative stress and is mediated by PKC and a non-canonical dynein activation mechanism (2/n)
Delighted to announce the posting of our latest preprint, which links stress-induced relocalisation of multiple organelles by dynein to adaptive changes in gene expression in the nucleus (1/n) 🧵
