1/New paper on peroxisome assembly, reporting the detailed mechanism of PEX39, a new peroxin involved in PTS2 protein transport. Fantastic work by ‪@walterwchen.bsky.social‬ and a dream team of collaborators, as explained below. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
PEX39 facilitates the peroxisomal import of PTS2-containing proteins - Nature Cell Biology
Chen et al. show that PEX39 cooperates with PEX7 in the peroxisomal import of proteins containing a PTS2 site and uncover an (R/K)PWE motif in PEX39 and PEX13 that binds to PEX7 and facilitates the im...

Great first day at the #IFNSymposiumHD, with BBQ dinner, drinks and especially: great people and discussions 😊

Now looking forward to the second day, which will be kicked off by @meganstanifer.bsky.social shortly!

@miquai.bsky.social and Robert Hazen explore a bold new law of nature: complexity steadily rises - not just in biology, but in everything from rocks to life. A fascinating weekend read. Thoughts welcome. #Science #Biology #Evolution #LawsOfNature #FunctionalInformation #ResearchSky #WeekendReads
A New Law of Nature Attempts to Explain the Complexity of the Universe
A novel suggestion that complexity increases over time, not just in living organisms but in the nonliving world, promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution.

More evidence for the role of protein degradation in significantly shaping the proteome of brain tissue!
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is associated with numerous proteome changes.

We find large & consistent decrease in the abundance and stoichiometry of 20S proteasome subunits.
⬛️ It leads to abnormal accumulation of 20S substrate proteins.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

The antiviral cytokine interferon is thought to act through the induction of hundreds of genes. In this #PLOSBiology Perspective, @jschoggins.bsky.social highlights recent findings that instead suggest distinct viruses are targeted by small subsets of the induced gene repertoire. 🧪

Applications with short and medium term payoff are fruitful and needed. They are easier to understand, especially by non experts.

The benefits of basic research are harder to understand. Understanding & appreciation require more expertise and longer term perspective.
Today’s most transformative medicines exist because of fundamental discoveries that were made without regard to practical outcome.

Their relevance to therapeutics only appeared decades later.

This article provides some compelling examples.
