New preprint. More on non-canonical motifs for DDR kinases. Here we find that Tel1 (yeast ATM) targets D/E-S/T. ... more prevalent than S/T-Q ... NOT shared with Mec1. May explain how Tel1 plays specialized roles in DNA repair and telomere maintenance. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Final version of our latest Kramer story is out! Congrats to @Hongyan_S for leading this effort & Adnan, Dylan, Alessandro, & @nicobuchon too! Read on to learn how Wnt signaling in surprisingly many cell types promotes stem cell proliferation in the gut: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
New preprint: It's about a gene called Kramer 😉 that controls #WntSignaling & stem cell proliferation in the fruit fly intestine. Congrats to @Hongyan_S @weillinstitute & @nicobuchon @cornellento @cihmid! cc: @SeinfeldTV @Seinfeld2000 @JerrySeinfeld doi.org/10.1101/2023.02.21.5… 1/n

Happy to share the newest preprint from @HollopeterLab @cornellvet: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…. We propose the Inversin complex works via a dimerization mechanism. You’re probably thinking, “What the $%@! is the Inversin complex?” Let me explain:

I'm so excited to finally share the results of my PhD work! Check out this thread for all of the highlights! Ric1-Rgp1-Rab6 has been the most difficult #cryoEM project I've worked on so far, but I'm so happy with how it came together and what we learned about Rab6 activation!
We are excited to share a new preprint from the lab! Rab6 is a central regulator of the Golgi, important for trafficking and autophagy. @FeathersRyan used #cryoEM to determine the structural basis of the Rab6 activation process. (1/9)

A Highlight from the MBoC Journal @KaitlynManzer & @Fromme_Lab examine the localization of the GTPase Arf1—& its inactivating GAPs—during Golgi maturation. The team found the GAP Age2 is recruited to the Golgi membrane thru its unique amphipathic helix. molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/…

Congratulations to graduate student Jumana Badar in the lab for receiving the Harry and Samuel Mann Outstanding Graduate Student Award. gradschool.cornell.edu/annou… Jumana's work is focused on signaling mechanisms that control the restart of stalled DNA replication forks.

🚨 New paper in @NatureChemistry from @ReikaTei in the @basktastic lab on development of "membrane editors" for precise modification of cellular lipids—another successful @weillinstitute collaboration, w/key contributions from @SaketBagde @Fromme_Lab! @CornellChem @CornellMBG 👇
Our work about superPLD is now published! In this paper, we describe how we can harness mammalian cell-based directed evolution to engineer a membrane editor (phospholipase D; PLD) with superior performance in mammalian cells. 1/n nature.com/articles/s41557-0…
