Thx @johnrubinstein.bsky.social for the excellent collaboration and for promoting Nadja @nadwu.bsky.social to postdoc ;-)!

New preprint! Karin Schumacher's postdoc Nadja used our SidK approach to purify Arabidopsis V-ATPase & Mariia Khamina determined its structure. The structure shows unique plant V-ATPase features and that TLDc proteins (here OXR5) bind V-ATPase in all eukaryotes. 🌱 tinyurl.com/mw9xaszk

Overall structure of Arabidopsis V-ATPase. (A) SDS-PAGE of purified V-ATPase. (B) Composite map of Arabidopsis V-ATPase in rotational state 1. (C) Atomic model of Arabidopsis V-ATPase in rotational state 1. (D) Cross sections of the V1 and VO regions in three rotational states. (E) Conformations of subunit H in V-ATPase structures of Arabidopsis V-ATPase (top) and the citrus fruit (bottom) V-ATPase.

We are all Roger. This is a despicable attack on the very essence of what academic science is about. Reason. Humanity. International collaboration.

Breaking news: Indiana University plant microbiologist Roger Innes has been locked out of his laboratory by the school in response to a request by one of his federal funders. The move comes after Innes complained about the government’s prosecution of Chinese postdocs. https://scim.ag/4tsDqRr

New preprint! SOSEKI polarity proteins are mechanoresponsive integrators linking growth and tissue mechanics during lateral root formation. Their polarity marks growth boundaries and reorganises in response to mechanical alterations —reshaping how we think about axis formation. tinyurl.com/28p7af2w

Hungary 1956 'Well over a 100k people fled the country seeking asylum. Among them was a young geneticist named George Rédei, who headed for the Austrian border with a small vial of seeds tucked in his pocket. The seeds belonged to a spindly weed in the mustard family called Arabidopsis thaliana.'

How a humble weed became a superstar of biology

Arabidopsis thaliana was always an unlikely candidate for the limelight. But 25 years ago, the diminutive thale cress launched the botanical world into the molecular era.

Wie Paris durch seine Verkehrspolitik, die Feinstaub- und NO2-Belastung v.a. seit Amtsantritt von Anne Hidalgo ab 2014 verringern und so zehntausenden Menschen ein längeres Leben schenken konnte, ist eine so krasse Erfolgsgeschichte, die gar nicht oft genug erzählt werden kann❤️

This is a room where we turn very modest salaries and budgets (and lots of coffee) into new knowledge, life-saving innovations, and technology that feeds business growth. It's literally the loom that spins hay into gold but these numpties are suddenly worried about the cost of hay.

A research lab from Northwestern, chosen because it's generic and sort of zoomed out. Three scientists are visible in lab coats, and there are benches and shelving, with glass along one wall showing another high-rise building nearby. Overhead fluorescents provide light.
