L'équipe Minc a publié un nouvel article dans Molecular Biology of the Cell : Mechanical strategies supporting growth and size diversity in Filamentous Fungi   Résumé : The stereotypical tip growth of filamentous fungi supports their lifestyles and functions. It relies on the polarized remodeling and expansion of a protective elastic cell wall (CW) driven by large cytoplasmic…

L'équipe Dumont a publié un nouvel article dans Nature Communication : Maternal inheritance of functional centrioles in two parthenogenetic nematodes   Résumé : 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.…

L'équipe Raote a contribué à la publication d'un nouvel article dans Developmental Cell : Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites are segregated for secretion based on cargo size   Résumé : 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…
