In the lab. 8 am Sunday to see the outcome of a genetic screen in S japonicus, made popular by ⁦@alebenoit⁩ Reminds me of the time in ⁦@Gould_Lab⁩ Lab meeting tomorrow and want to present my work.

Another set of temperature sensitive alleles that didn’t fit into a recent pub. Special thanks to undergraduate student Bita Tavafoghi for her hard work finishing this up!

Replying to @AlainaWillet
@AlainaWillet, Kathleen Gould @Gould_Lab and colleagues @VanderbiltCDB find that Pik1 localises exclusively to the trans-Golgi in fission yeast, where it contributes to PI4P but not PI(4,5)P2 synthesis and does not affect cytokinesis. journals.biologists.com/jcs/…

New work from Alaina H. Willet et al. at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (@VUmedicine) shows that Ankyrin-1 inhibits #membrane binding of Myosin-1, an actin-based motor that works with the Arp2/3 complex to trigger #endocytosis in yeast. molbiolcell.org/doi/epdf/10.…

Revised fission yeast nomenclature for genes and alleles now published in @GeneticsGSA . We provide new standards for ncRNA genes and for allele descriptions to enable machine readability. Thanks to @manu_lera for driving this to completion. @news4go @uniprot @CamBiochem

I’m so very excited that the Cullati lab will be opening September 2023 @WWUChem! I’m like the dog that caught the car - I get to teach undergrad biochem, mentor students, and keep learning about kinase signaling in beautiful Bellingham WA ❤️🤩🎉
