The life of each of us began when a sperm and an egg came together. But what happens at a molecular level?

Our latest work in Cell led by @vdeneke.bsky.social & Andreas Blaha reveals a conserved fertilization complex that bridges sperm and egg in vertebrates! (1/11)

The second of our two new preprints addresses the question of how proteasomes can be kept dormant for instance in oocytes. This study was spearheaded by first author Sascha Amann. biorxiv.org/cgi/content/... (1/6)🧵
PITHD1: An Endogenous Inhibitor of the 26S Proteasome During Cellular Dormancy
Cellular dormancy represents a state of regulated growth arrest essential for diverse biological processes, from reproduction to cancer progression. While mechanisms controlling protein synthesis in d...

We are very excited to share our recent preprint on the nuclear import mechanism of the proteasome, driven by the multivalent adaptor AKIRIN2! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵 1/6
A multivalent adaptor mechanism drives the nuclear import of proteasomes
Nuclear protein homeostasis, including the turnover of transcription factors, critically depends on nuclear proteasomes. After each cell division, proteasomes need to be re-imported into the newly for...
