🎉🍾Excited to share our #Asgardarchaea #odin #cytoskeleton study published in @embojournal
Dual FtsZ proteins in Odinarchaeon form distinct filaments—shedding light on tubulin/FtsZ evolution. Brilliantly led by @Jayantikri23 embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

Thrilled to share our lab's first evolutionary cytoskeleton study! We uncover two distinct FtsZ paralogs in Odinarchaeota—OdinFtsZ1 forms curved filaments, while OdinFtsZ2 assembles into spiral rings. A glimpse into tubulin evolution! #Eukaryogenesis #AsgardArchaea #cytoskeleton

Excited to share our new preprint on @biorxivpreprint!
We show that USP28 mutations found in cancer block its interaction with 53BP1, disrupting p53 stabilization. Check out the full story...

How do organelles fit together inside a crowded cell? Answering this question requires a way to image many organelles in a whole cell at high resolution with high throughput. Our new preprint shows how to do this in yeast using soft x-ray tomography

@MaryHuda97 et al. @CaydasiLab @kocuniversity show that asymmetric PI(3,5)P2 synthesis is crucial for vacuolar-pH asymmetry and provide insights into how the mother cell ages while the daughter cell is rejuvenated in budding yeast hubs.la/Q02Xx8N70

🚨Job Alert 🚨 @KocSciences Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics is hiring tenure track faculty. The call is broad and many different fields of biology will be considered. Join an incredible Department with great colleagues here in beautiful Istanbul!

We further showed that the asymmetry of PI(3,5)P2 and the PI(3,5)P2 effector Atg18 determine the asymmetry of vacuolar pH. Given the link between vacuole acidity and longevity, our results suggest that PI(3,5)P2 is key for daughter cell rejuvenation and mother cell aging.
English
Employing a ratiometric in vivo vacuolar-pH sensor, we observed a pH drop in the daughter vacuole, while a pH increase in the mother vacuole, concomitant with changes in PI(3,5)P2 distribution during mitosis.

I am excited to announce that our latest work is now published @JCellBiol! Huge congratulations to the co-authors @MaryHuda97 @KoyuncuMukadder @cansudilege. Big thanks to our funding bodies @Tubitak and @EMBO_YIP, @KocSciences, and to many labs who shared plasmid/strains with us.

@MaryHuda97 et al. @CaydasiLab @Kocuniversity reveal the dynamics of the vacuolar signaling lipid PI(3,5)P2 in budding yeast. PI(3,5)P2 synthesis is asymmetric during #mitosis and plays a key role in establishing vacuolar pH asymmetry. hubs.la/Q02Xx8N00 #Lipids
