Dumont Lab – Maternal inheritance of functional centrioles in two parthenogenetic nematodes

Home publis21 August 2024
The Dumont Lab published a new article in Nature Communication: Maternal inheritance of functional centrioles in two parthenogenetic nematodes   Abstract: Centrioles are the core constituent of centrosomes, microtubule-organizing centers involved in directing mitotic spindle assembly and chromosome segregation in animal cells. In sexually reproducing species, centrioles degenerate during oogenesis and female meiosis is usually acentrosomal. Centrioles are…

Raote Lab – Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites are segregated for secretion based on cargo size

Home publis21 August 2024
The Raote Lab contributed to the publication of a new article in Developmental Cell: Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites are segregated for secretion based on cargo size   Abstract: TANGO1, TANGO1-Short, and cTAGE5 form stable complexes at the endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) to preferably export bulky cargoes. Their C-terminal proline-rich domain (PRD) binds Sec23A and affects COPII assembly. The PRD in TANGO1-Short…

Conduit Lab – Cryo-EM structures of γ-TuRC reveal molecular insights into microtubule nucleation

Home publis, News2 July 2024
The Conduit Lab published a new  review in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology: Cryo-EM structures of γ-TuRC reveal molecular insights into microtubule nucleation   Abstract: Microtubules within cells often have 13 protofilaments but are nucleated by multi-protein y-TuRCs complexes that display 14 γ-tubulin molecules. High-resolution cryo-EM structures of γ-TuRCs after nucleation show that these γ-TuRCs ‘close’ during nucleation…

Gazave Lab – Variations in cell plasticity and proliferation underlie distinct modes of regeneration along the antero-posterior axis in the annelid Platynereis

Home publis, News2 July 2024
The Gazave published a new article in Development: Variations in cell plasticity and proliferation underlie distinct modes of regeneration along the antero-posterior axis in the annelid Platynereis   Abstract: The capacity to regenerate lost tissues varies significantly among animals. Some phyla, such as the annelids, display substantial regenerating abilities, although little is known about the cellular mechanisms…

Konstantinides Lab – Neuronal Circuit Evolution: From Development to Structure and Adaptive Significance

Home publis, News2 July 2024
The Konstantinides Lab published a new article in CSH Perspectives: Neuronal Circuit Evolution: From Development to Structure and Adaptive Significance   Abstract: Neuronal circuits represent the functional units of the brain. Understanding how the circuits are generated to perform computations will help us understand how the brain functions. Nevertheless, neuronal circuits are not engineered, but have formed through…
