Stephen RoyleToday is the last day to register for the UK Membrane Traffic Meeting (organised by Chris Stefan and Jez Carlton in London).
The “full collapse vs kiss-and-run” debate for synaptic vesicle fusion dates back to the 1970s. In the last 10 years ultrafast endocytosis was proposed as a reconciliation. A paper out in Science today describes “Kiss-shrink-run” and hyperfast recycling…
Their observation of vesicles that shrink upon exocytosis is cool and the technology that enabled this cryoET is very impressive. As for resolving any debate - let's see.
^ if this paper is of interest. There's a related preprint from van der Groot, Dal Peraro and D’Angelo labs:
This is cool. CryoEM showing COPI coat containing GOLPH3, together with functional data suggests the mechanism for cargo retention/transport.
The mechanistic basis of cargo selection during Golgi maturation
Taylor, Zubkov, Ciazynska et al.
Royle Lab NewsGabrielle is giving a talk today in the Warwick SLS-WMS Postdoc Association Seminar Series.
"Hacking the logic of clathrin-coated vesicle creation”
10 am in A1.51, Gibbet Hill
Mary FesenkoA riddle for Golgi Day: how many Golgis can you spot in this photo? #membranetraffic #CellBiology
I’m currently looking for a post-doc in the UK, particularly to work on projects that employ in-vitro reconstitution and quantitative #microscopy approaches to study #cellbiology processes (esspecially #membranetraffic) + would be grateful for sign-posting towards openings! 🙏 #academicchatter
We received this payment card protector to incentivise us to take part in an Office for National Statistics Crime survey.
I said, ‘ah they’ve used the classic Biorender concentric-ring endoplasmic reticulum icon as their logo.’
My partner responded, ‘I think that’s meant to be a finger print because it talks about protecting your identity.’
Only the real ones would understand… #CellBiology #membranetraffic

EMBO Workshop
From molecules to organisms: An integrative view of cell biology
16 – 21 March 2025 | Radstadt, Austria
Organised by Sharon Tooze and Marino Zerial
Deadline is 1st Dec

And now for some new News!
This week we welcomed Anneline Moret to our lab. Anneline is a EUTOPIA co-tutelle student between our lab and Paris Cergy University. She'll be working on engineered membrane traffic of integrin in a cancer context.
