Are #autophagy -related proteins involved in #GenomeStability? @hashimreza.bsky.social @kaustuvsanyal.bsky.social &co show that Atg11 has an essential non-canonical function in error-free #chromosome segregation via the Kar9-dependent spindle positioning pathway @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4lfbeP1

Increasing #AntimicrobialResistance is of great medical concern. @kaustuvsanyal.bsky.social highlights a @plosbiology.org study that unveils the link between #ploidy plasticity and the emergence of #antifungal resistance in #Candida tropicalis 🧪 Paper: plos.io/3RAckqM Primer: plos.io/4i4sgN4

Hashim Reza spearheaded the work initiated by an MS student, rotated in two yeast labs @JNCASR. Hashim et al. show in a paper published today that an autophagy-related protein Atg11 regulates the fidelity of chromosome segregation. Thanks to coauthors and collaborators. dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
Autophagy-related protein Atg11 is essential for microtubule-mediated chromosome segregation
Autophagy-related proteins have roles in several cellular processes, but their function in genome stability remains unclear. Here, the authors show that Atg11 has an essential non-canonical function i...

A new TV series imagines a mushroom that can cure any ailment.

In today's episode,  we talk with the creators of the series “Common Side Effects,” which makes fungi the star.

Plus, why does snow smell the way it does?

In our latest paper, Satya Dev and coauthors from JNCASR/Bose Institute and Edinburgh U. report that unlike most organisms the dependence of shugoshin on Bub1-kinase activity is dispensable for the maintenance of spindle assembly checkpoint response in Cryptococcus dx.plos.org/10.1371/jour...
