Importantly, we can suppress all defects by loss of Rab35 by overexpressing Rab7, the Rab that controls transport to the late endosome and lysosome. This suggests that elevated endo-lysosomal function is critical for the establishment of the apicosome, and thus lumenogenesis. 12/
We discovered that there is a massive, but transient enlargement of the endosomes. We find a >1uM hybrid endosome that contains markers of both the early and late endosome (arrowheads). 5/
Pleased to share collaborative work with @MCDuncanLab led by amazing grad student Anusha @MCW_CBNA . We reveal unexpected dynamics in the endolysosomal system regulated by Rab35 that are critical for lumen formation in a model of early development. 1/ biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
We’re deeply saddened by the loss of a cherished colleague whose warmth, dedication, and years of service left a lasting impact on our department. Read more about Lori Mirabitur's life and legacy in The University Record. record.umich.edu/articles/obitu… #Remembering #LegacyOfService
Dear folks in Arkansas, Alabama and Ohio. Please contact your Senators and House members. FDA has been told it must reduce its workforce by 50% in a month. Three of the five FDA research centers are in those states and their economies will be significantly impacted.
Dozens of Alaskans – potentially over 100 in total – are being fired as part of the Trump administration’s reduction-in-force order for the federal government. Many of these abrupt terminations will do more harm than good, stunting opportunities in Alaska and leaving holes in…

A rare dip onto this site for me. Martha did a fantastic job introducing us to D. hansenii and her work establishing tools to monitor organelle morphology and function. Admissions committees, take note!! Martha is applying for PhD positions this fall!

If you’re one of my classmates from the Berkeley MCB PhD from the entering class of 1995 and have not heard from me about the reunion we’re organizing next summer, send me a DM or email. We’d love to see you even if you didn’t graduate or are no longer in the field.
I am super excited to announce that @madkeenen and I are co-organizing a special interest subgroup at this year's ASCB (in San Diego!) on all things multinucleate. Spread the word, and send in abstracts by August 6th! Reach out to us with any questions.
Thanks @felixmendu @ishier_raote @Fran_Bottanelli for the opportunity to talk today at the #membrane seminars. I had a blast! For new followers excited by Ishier's endorsement of my social media content, I'm mainly at mstdn.
Looking forward to this month's #membranetrafficking talks by Marta Puig @GallegoLab and @MCDuncanLab ! This Thursday at 5pm CET. As usual, further info in our slack group, email list, and website (more info here: felixcampelo.wixsite.com/membranetraffi…)

New Publication from the @MCDuncanLab! "Fast-evolving cofactors regulate the role of HEATR5 complexes in intra-Golgi trafficking," has been published in the Journal of Cell Biology. Read more: michmed.org/APDYA
In our latest work, we find that the conserved HEATR5 proteins, best known for roles in AP1 traffic, are directed to different functions by a suite of non-conserved binding partners that adopt a similar structural fold. doi.org/10.1083/jcb.20…
