Check out our latest #research on #endocytosis published in @NatureSMB! In this collaboration with @therickybaker and @kevcannon520, we use #cryoEM and #biochemistry to discover a new checkpoint in AP2 cargo selection. rdcu.be/cJ0ur

We’re excited to share our new preprint! We used a wacky C. elegans phenotype to study the homolog of a family of phosphatase regulators. This was a collab between Hollopeter lab members and @guntherwho & proteomics experts @ScienceStowers @LaurenceFlorens and Ying Zhang. 1/4

Like the ASPPs, APE-1 localizes to cell junctions & binds PP1. Using jowls as a functional readout of the APE-1–PP1 complex we then discovered that localization to cell junctions is conferred by APE-1's N-terminal half, while its C-terminal ankyrin repeats regulate PP1 output.3/4

Working on this has been a blast & we look forward to feedback!! 🤩🪱 4/4
