Sorting of GPI-anchored proteins at the trypanosome surface is independent of GPI insertion signals The segregation of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored proteins (GPI-APs) to distinct domains on the plasma membrane of eukaryotic cells is importan…

If you assume GPI insertion signals = surface destination, trypanosomes disagree.

Tom’s work shows GPI-anchored protein sorting occurs independently of GPI insertion signals, hinting at alternative sorting logic at the parasite surface.

#MembraneBiology has always strived towards a universal membrane model - and NDM DPhil Student @meowmuir.bsky.social has achieved just that. In their blog, they explain the value of a unifying model for biological membranes and the science behind it 🖥️

Unravelling the role of key amino acid residues of the parainfluenza fusion peptide in membrane fusion Parainfluenza viruses enter host cells by fusing their envelope with the cell membrane. In this process mediated by the fusion glycoprotein, the fusion peptide plays an essential role in membrane binding and triggering fusion. Previously, we demonstrated that the parainfluenza fusion peptide (PIFP) oligomerizes int

New #RSCChemBio study pinpoints how two residues (F103 + Q120) power the parainfluenza fusion peptide’s membrane activity. One’s for fusion, the other’s for the teamwork.
