Paumier, Sauvanet, Gigant @mikicalab.bsky.social highlight work from Muñoz-Hernández, Xu et al @mike-wieczorek.bsky.social (rupress.org/jcb/article/...) which describes new insight into the means by which NEDD1 protein recruits the γ-TuRC to microtubule-organizing centers rupress.org/jcb/article/...

Benoit Gigant presented his latest results published in PNAS Nexus (10.1093/pnasnexus/pgae487) on the protein Tau and its interaction with microtubules at the 6th Journées du Réseau France Microtubules to be held in Toulouse on June 26 and 27, 2025.

#RésultatScientifique 🔎 Des chercheurs ont découvert que les protéines ARF, existaient bien avant l’émergence des cellules eucaryotes ! 🦠

Cette découverte éclaire l’évolution des mécanismes cellulaires et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives sur l’histoire du vivant !

Asgard archaea have actin - but what about microtubules? Where do they come from? 🧐 Our new paper www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... by @xujwet.bsky.social & @florianwollweber.bsky.social, in collaboration with the Schleper & Wieczorek labs, describes tiny Asgard microtubules! #TeamTomo #ArchaeaSky 1/6

The Arf Family GTPases are crucial eukaryotic proteins in organelle dynamics. Our paper shows their Asgard origins and the hallmark Arf mechanism of membrane-localization in these asgard proteins! Led by Cathy Jackson @ijmonod.bsky.social; with Marek Elias and @mikicalab.bsky.social.
