Cell biologist at NIH researching mechanisms of protein and organelle transport, and related diseases. Special interest in neurons and neurodevelopmental disorders. Passionate about science, nature, travel, and music. Views are my own.
Excited to share our new review with @depaceraffa.bsky.social, @saikat2025.bsky.social, and Chad Williamson on the BLOC-1 and BORC complexes—key regulators of endolysosomal processes and linked to several genetic diseases. #NIH #Lysosomes #RareDiseases authors.elsevier.com/a/1lg4i8jWWJ...

We show that the protein SPG21, mutated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 21, localizes to endolysosomes via RAB7A, where it promotes mTORC1-dependent TFEB phosphorylation, reducing expression of a subset of TFEB regulated genes

Kudos to authors Morié Ishida, Adriana Golding, @TalKerenKaplan @NICHD_NIH and our collaborators Tamas Balla @NICHD_NIH and Yan Li @NIH_NINDS! Great teamwork!

Excited to share our latest findings on how the phosphoinositide PI4P pool at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) is regulated through a SYS1-ARFRP1-ARL5-ARMH3-PI4KB pathway, in which ARMH3 (also known as C10orf76) acts as an ARL5 effector to activate PI4KB. rdcu.be/d1dZ2

Interesting paper showing that yeast adaptor protein complex AP-3 lacks "ear" domains, and that the disordered "hinge" domains are required for budding from the late Golgi (equivalent to the mammalian TGN) journals.biologists.com/jcs/article/...
