- Time to close the EMBO-FEBS Susan Lindquist School on Proteostasis 2025 in Espoo, Finland. Four intensive days of fabulous presentations, discussions, and mentoring, fostering scientific exchange between senior and junior members of the proteostasis field. Thank you to all participants!
- Reposted by Saarikangas labExcited to share our new preprint in @biorxiv-neursci.bsky.social "Cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5) binds to talin and is anchored at the postsynaptic density via direct interaction with PDZ domains" Instead of a 🧵 the paper is summarised in this video. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

- For those interested in yeast amino acid control, we've developed fluorescent reporters to simultaneously monitor amino acid synthesis and uptake activities (GAAC, TORC1, and SPS) in single cells: www.molbiolcell.org/doi/10.1091/...
- This tool enables the study of amino acid homeostasis in complex environments; we were able to show that metabolic specialization promotes longevity in colony-embedded cells.
- Kudos to the talented Jurgita Paukštytė and Emma Cervera Tena for pioneering this work! The constructs are available through Addgene (216512 and 216513).
