The Palancade Lab recently published a new article in Nature communications :
A R-loop sensing pathway mediates the relocation of transcribed genes to nuclear pore complexes
Abstract: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) have increasingly recognized interactions with the genome, as exemplified in yeast, where they bind transcribed or damaged chromatin. By combining genome-wide approaches with live imaging…
The Ladoux/Mège recently contributed to the publication of an article in Nature Communications :
Hexanematic crossover in epithelial monolayers depends on cell adhesion and cell density
Abstract:
Changes in tissue geometry during developmental processes are associated with collective migration of cells. Recent experimental and numerical results suggest that these changes could leverage on the coexistence of nematic…
The Conduit Lab and the Guichet Lab recently published in Journal of Cell Biology :
Multifaceted modes of γ-tubulin complex recruitment and microtubule nucleation at mitotic centrosomes
Abstract:
Microtubule nucleation is mediated by γ-tubulin ring complexes (γ-TuRCs). In most eukaryotes, a GCP4/5/4/6 “core” complex promotes γ-tubulin small complex (γ-TuSC) association to generate cytosolic γ-TuRCs. Unlike γ-TuSCs, however,…
The Azimzadeh Lab recently published in Current Biology :
Evolution: The ancient history of cilia assembly regulation
Abstract:
A new study identifies a conserved regulatory mechanism for cilia assembly in the closest unicellular relatives of animals, suggesting that this mechanism was already present in a common unicellular ancestor and was repurposed during the transition to multicellularity.
Invited by the Greenberg Lab, Yoichi Shinkai (Chief Scientist at the Cellular Memory Laboratory, Riken, Japan) will give an IJM seminar on the theme:
Biology of Histidine Methylation
Abstract:
We have been using a synthetic cofactor analog of SAM, ProSeAM to analyze novel substrates of lysine methyltransferases and their biological functions. Recently, we have been using the…
Invited by the Palancade Lab, Ben Montpetit (University of Californie, Davis, USA) will present an IJM seminar on the theme:
RNA-binding protein (RBP) recruitment, occupancy, and stoichiometry in nuclear mRNA-protein complexes.
Abstract:
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) interact with mRNA and associated factors to form supramolecular complexes called messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) particles. These dynamic assemblies change to direct and…
