Sebellin, @CPToret, Kaksonen et al. @unige_en identify Ldb17 as the endocytic #actin on-switch in #BuddingYeast that is controlled by the coat protein Sla1 through separate recruitment and activation steps, a regulation lost in #FissionYeast. hubs.la/Q04CCyyY0

Molecular basis for cellular compartmentalization by an ancient membrane fission mechanism

Molecular basis for cellular compartmentalization by an ancient membrane fission mechanism

The emergence of cell compartmentalization depends on membrane fission to create the endomembrane compartments. In eukaryotes, membrane fission is commonly executed by ESCRT-III, a protein complex...

Curious about the molecular mechanism of #actin elongation by #formins? Then check out our latest work in @ScienceMagazine! This was possible due to outstanding team effort. Big thanks to co-first author @WoutOosterheert, Bieling lab and @intein @mpimoph science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Molecular mechanism of actin filament elongation by formins

Molecular mechanism of actin filament elongation by formins

Formins control the assembly of actin filaments (F-actin) that drive cell morphogenesis and motility in eukaryotes. However, their molecular interaction with F-actin and their mechanism of action...

Our latest work on #actin assembly is now online @ScienceMagazine! We show how #formins bind and move with the growing barbed end of F-actin. Awesome collab. between @Intein and Bieling labs @mpimoph, and big thanks to co-first author @maikaboiero science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Do you ever wonder how ancient cellular processes such as endocytosis evolve and vary between species? If you do, take a look at our new preprint by Andrea @g_trevize, Chris @CPToret and Anne-Sophie! biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

Multicellularity: Amoebae follow the leader to food

Multicellular fruiting body formation through aggregation of individual cells has been known in Fonticla alba since the original description of the organism. A new study reveals the existence of a...

Replying to @marko_kaksonen @CPToret @g_trevize @maikaboiero @AlpheeMichelot
Fonticula alba cells can team up to form collectives to explore and invade new food resources.

Where are these cells going together in such a hurry? They're probably rushing off to see the cool Fonticula alba poster at the ASCB/EMBO #cellbio2020 meeting.
