1/ Thrilled to share our new paper in @Nature: “CLCC1 promotes hepatic neutral lipid flux and nuclear pore complex assembly.” From our lab together with @apsarruda, led by co–first authors @alymathiowetz and @EmilyMeymand. 🥳

With so many great reviews on LDs already out, do we need another?
Sarah @cohenlaboratory & I were approached by @NatRevMCB to organize a review on LD heterogeneity and inter-organelle contacts...topics often in reviews, but not a focus. Fun project!

So happy to finally see this out! Great work by first authors @A_STEDhammer and @petiaadarska which have shown that cargo flow along post-Golgi routes is driven by a key maturation step where compartments defined by ARF1 nature into recycling endosomes nature.com/articles/s41556-0…

An exciting story from the lab! The balance of ceramide-glycerolipid synthesis in the ER regulates Caveolin1 localization. This is dependent on seipin, organizing #lipiddroplet formation.

Our new paper: Misfolded proteins activate HSF1 by releasing it from Hsp70. This has been clear in yeast for some time and we find that the mechanism is similar in human cells. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Wilson, @Adam_L_Hughes et al. observe that mitochondrial-derived compartments selectively incorporate proteins from only the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and robustly sequester both excess and mistargeted proteins into this OMM-enriched domain. hubs.la/Q02L7pSP0

🥂Thrilled to see my latest #postdoc work out! What began as a quick, fun side project just before the first lockdown led me down a rabbit hole and ended in @NatureCellBio 4.5y later:

Among other things, Simon has found that protein TMD length conditions localization to the NVJ, thus enabling turnover via piecemeal microautophagy of the nucleus (PMN). Be sure to check out the paper for more!!

Great to see our preprint out. We uncovered a simple likely mechanism to fuse inner outer nuclear envelopes to precede nuclear pore complex (NPC) insertion.
Our first step was to show that CLCC1 is the long-lost human homologue of Brl1 (previously only known in yeast, protists)

New preprint w/ @apsarruda! Tour de force from grad student extraordinaire @alymathiowetz! >20 CRISPR screens enabled the discovery of a key role for CLCC1 in hepatic neutral lipid flux and nuclear pore complex assembly. Many surprises! #LipidDroplets 1/3 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

We are proud and excited to share the new study from our lab, led by the amazing @RanenAviner. It uncovers an important pathogenic mechanism causing cellular dysfunction in Huntington's Disease. We hope this work will inspire new and effective therapies
