Annan and Jim (Hurley Lab ), thank you for highlighting our recent work along with the cool paper from David Broadbent. It is fun to see the two stories side-by-side.


Celebrating the end of an amazing era of Yale Cell Biology as our Chair Jim Rothman steps down. He built our department into a thriving, collegial, and collaborative mecca founded on the bedrock importance of asking fundamental biological questions. He will be missed.








Our new preprint reveals that the interaction of the bridge-like lipid transport protein VPS13A with the lipid scramblase XK at ER-plasma membrane contacts in K562 cells correlates with erythroid differentiation Chase Amos Yale Cell Biology Yale Neuroscience biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats Justin! Really nice work showing ATG2 function on monolayer-wrapped LDs and careful characterization of a transport dead mutant which loses bridge-like but not shuttle-like lipid transport capacity. Thanks also to Abdou Rachid Thiam for cool studies with monolayer mimics.



Let’s start the week in style: just out in Biorxiv one of the most important results from my lab, with the Reinisch lab Yale School of Medicine: “Lipid scrambling is a general feature of protein insertases”. The title pretty much sums it up. Short 🧵(1/13). biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
