Congratulations to Sylvie Callegari for receiving the poster prize from Autophagy Reports for her poster "Interaction of PINK1 with nucleotides and kinetin" at the Joint Keystone Symposia on #KSAutophagy24 and #UbiquitinBiology. Women in Autophagy

Congratulations to Komander lab PhD student Jack Alexandrovics on winning WEHI's Kellaway Excellence Education award for his Citizens of Science programs!! He then followed it up by rocking WEHI’s band Inflammatones at the end of year party 🎸🎶. WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) #inflammatones

Check out our latest paper in Science Advances! We reveal nucleotide-induced changes in PINK1 using cryo-EM, and investigated PINK1's interaction with reported PINK1 activating molecules KTP/kinetin. Grateful to DavidKomanderLab WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) and other. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Such a lovely location for all the protein updates at Lorne Proteins 🤩 DavidKomanderLab pumped up and excited for the great line of speakers, and the first #Ubiquitin satellite meeting!

Beautiful talk by Rachel Klevit on solving the mysteries of the ubiquitin system (and the many that remain!). Great way to kick off the first ever Lorne ubiquitin satellite meeting. #Lorneproteins

What a thrill to hear Micha Rapé present their recently published work on how stress response silencing occurs in a regulated and timely manner following mitochondrial import stress. #Lorneproteins #theubiquitincode

Awesome work Phil, Jack and Sarah!

Ubiquitination of proteins, LPS, lipids and sugars? Read our comment (with DavidKomanderLab) on the size and complexity of the #ubiquitin system now in NatureStructMolBiol: "The ubiquitin system - Just how big is it?" rdcu.be/dyqzt.

Greetings from our team in Australia 🇦🇺 Last week, a number of our founders and team members brought their expertise and our pioneering science to the 2024 Lorne Proteins Embedded Satellite Meeting on Ubiquitin. Thanks to the Lorne team for bringing us together!

Check out our Special Issue on Ubiquitin Biology ! We feature some really exciting science on the mechanisms underlying writing and reading ubiquitylation + some very thoughtful comments and perspectives on the field nature.com/articles/s4159…

Congratulations to Komander lab PhD candidate Dale Calleja on successfully completing his PhD! 🎉 After solving 17 structures, he definitely deserves it! Well done Dale. WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute)

Happy International Women’s Day! This week, Komander Lab ladies got together for high tea to bid farewell to one of the lab’s most inspiring women – Yuri Shibata. We wish her all the best for her next position. 🥂

This Sunday, some of us from the lab and the Ubiquitin Signalling division are excited to be participating in ‘A Walk in the Park’ as part of WEHI’s Parkinson’s Disease Research team. We'd love your support! If you are able, please help us!👇 awalkinthepark.org.au/st/329/t

In JExpMed, Davidson, Shibata, DavidKomanderLab seth masters WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute) et al identify a novel dominant negative heterozygous mutation in OTULIN (p.Cys129S) that enhances cell death & inflammatory signaling, thereby driving autoinflammatory disease. hubs.la/Q02t8-B50

Amazing news!! Congratulations David Komander on being elected a fellow of the Royal Society 👏

We’re very proud of Professor David Komander, who has today been elected a Fellow of the prestigious @Royalsociety, the UK’s national science academy! Learn more: wehi.edu.au/news/ubiquitin… #WEHIResearch #Ubiquitin #ParkinsonsDisease

It was indeed stellar - well done Phil!
