Conduit Lab – Building the centrosome: PLK-1 controls multimerization of SPD-5

Home publis12 March 2024

The Conduit Lab published a spotlight in Journal of Cell Biology: Building the centrosome: PLK-1 controls multimerization of SPD-5 Introduction: Centrosome maturation relies on the assembly of an underlying molecular scaffold. In this issue of JCB, Rios et al. (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202306142) use cross-linking mass spectrometry to reveal how PLK-1 phosphorylation promotes intermolecular SPD-5 self-association that is essential for…

Jackson/Verbavatz Lab – The ER tether VAPA is required for proper cell motility and anchors ER-PM contact sites to focal adhesions

Home publis, News7 March 2024

The Jackson/Verbavatz Lab published a new article eLife: The ER tether VAPA is required for proper cell motility and anchors ER-PM contact sites to focal adhesions Abstract: Cell motility processes highly depend on the membrane distribution of Phosphoinositides, giving rise to cytoskeleton reshaping and membrane trafficking events. Membrane contact sites serve as platforms for direct lipid exchange…

Pintard Lab – Microtubule-binding domains in Katanin p80 subunit are essential for severing activity in C. elegans

Home publis, News13 February 2024

The Pintard lab recently published a new article in Journal of Cell Biology: Microtubule-binding domains in Katanin p80 subunit are essential for severing activity in C. elegans Abstract: Microtubule-severing enzymes (MSEs), such as Katanin, Spastin, and Fidgetin play essential roles in cell division and neurogenesis. They damage the microtubule (MT) lattice, which can either destroy or amplify the…
