Really excited to share our latest paper describing the MitoLuc assay for quantitative mitochondrial protein import, which we wrote in collaboration with Ian Collinson! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🚨The ECSO Lab at Purdue is looking for *two* PhD students and *one* postdoctoral researcher for the projects *“The energetic costs of new genes and cellular complexity”* and *“The physiology and metabolism of common and rare photosymbiotic associations.”* Please share 🙏

🚨 New paper alert from @martenssascha!🚨 We explore how transmembrane cargo receptors initiate selective autophagy. Through biochemical reconstitutions, we discover a new autophagosome biogenesis pathway with implications for therapeutic interventions. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain 🥳 Using cryo-electron tomography🔬, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria!  biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Interested in BNIP3/NIX-mediated mitophagy? Check out our new review, written with Jonathan Friedman, about recent advances in the field and our thoughts on the regulation of these mitophagy receptors in space and time. doi.org/10.1042/BST202…

Seen a flurry of papers about BNIP and NIX and mitophagy the last few years and want to learn more? Check out this new review that Natalie Niemi and I wrote to put them in context. portlandpress.com/biochemsoctran…

Happy halloween from our lab to yours!

Be sure to check out MITOtalks Thursday (10am US central time) for a double feature, including our amazing student Alia @TheMitotracker who will be presenting her work identifying a new player in mitochondrial fission! You can find a zoom link at mitotalks.org

Honored and excited to present some of our latest work as part of this session!

As you're planning out your ASCB schedule be sure to attend the organelle-focused special interest group hosted by Natalie Niemi and myself Mon. 12/16 at 5pm

Edington et al. @labfriedman UT Southwestern Medical Center identify a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that marks and facilitates a subset of sites of mitochondrial fission in human cells. hubs.la/Q030B0yQ0 #Organelles #Mitochondria

Looking for some holiday reading material? Our latest paper identifying a new player in mitochondrial fission is now out Journal of Cell Biology! A wonderful early present to see this now online! rupress.org/jcb/article/22…

Happy to announce I am serving as Director of the Lipid Metabolism & Neurodegenerative Diseases (LMND) Program at UTSW. Our goal is to stimulate collaborations bridging lipid metabolism & neurological disease. So proud of our lab & their cell biology adventures! #onward_science

For #teamtomo, context is everything. We highlight the power of #surfacemorphometrics in guiding STA and quantitatively assessing the impact of these structures on the local environment. Ben Barad

Be sure to mark your calendars for March 26th at 12pm ET for the ASBMB Lipid Research Division (LRD) seminar series. We have two great mitochondria-focused lipid talks planned from Jason Casler from Laura Lackner's lab and Kailash Venkatraman from Itay Budin's lab. Register here! events.zoom.us/ev/AqPwG5k03Rl…

Reminder to join us tomorrow at 12pm ET

If you are on UTSW campus May 16, please join us for the Lipid Metabolism & Neurodegenerative Disease mini-symposium! Many thanks to keynote speaker Dr. Hugo Bellen.

Important to celebrate trainee victories: excited to have Holly Merta's paper out in Cell Reports. We use TurboID sub-organelle proteomics to map the ER network. We discover calmin/CLMN, an ER-to-actin tether regulating focal adhesions & cell motility. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very excited to share our latest work, “Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function,” led by the fantastically talented Biochem, Biophys, and Structural Bio @ WashU graduate student Youmian Yan. A 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
