Beautiful tour-de-force of #lipidtime biochemistry in science last week. Do we know how BMP is made now? www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

First time playing around with single molecule STORM imaging of PI3P on endosomes using recombinant biosensors. This was great fun with our new fellow Ruby Peters and I see lots of potential for this in the future!

Heads up #lipidtime enthusiasts. @maiblab.bsky.social iblab.bsky.social has an exciting postdoc position on the function of the elusive PIKfyve complex. The UK has shown no propensity for arbitrarily freezing its research funding, so US trainees - consider the move! www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLW981/r...

My annual Valentine’s post of this image that happens to land on #FluorescenceFriday this year! An axon approaching a kidney glomerulus doing its best to look like a rose.

The most frequently asked question we get: do #lipidtime genetically encoded lipid biosensors compete out cells’ native effector proteins? Victoria Holmes and Morgan Ricci led a paper in JCB that answers this question: rupress.org/jcb/article/... Read on for a brief thread.

@jeremymberg.bsky.social is doing such an amazing job keeping us all informed on what's happening with NIH. Thank you Jeremy!

Just read this awesome #lipidtime review on the enigmatic PIP4K lipid kinases. Just a beautifully structured piece of work that is a dream to reference. I even recommend it just for general info on small molecule inhibitors and their caveats! doi.org/10.1111/febs...

Sorkin lab continues to illuminate the cellular itinerary of EGF signaling by endogenous tagging of effectors. Super cool paper!

Made one of these for lipids, will update continuously. Please share and let me know who I've missed go.bsky.app/A27yZA6

Very cool #lipidtime preprint from Taki Nishimura and colleagues: engineering of new lipid-binding probes from PH domains and nanobodies from a high-throughput assay where liposomes bind to cell surfaces displaying members of the protein probe library. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Taking the "on" out of the PIK3CA oncogene: a paradigm shift in PI3K signaling just out from @ralitsamadsen.bsky.social Ralista will be talking about this in the New frontiers in inositol lipid signaling at the #ASBMB annual meeting this April - don’t miss it! www.asbmb.org/annual-meeti...

#proudmentor! Great @FASEBorg #phospholipids meeting in MN with Morgan Ricci picking up best poster and Claire Weckerly getting a best short talk! This is why I don’t meddle in my trainees’ presentations…

Happy fourth to all you scientists who celebrate it!

Amazing to see PI5P hugging an effector. This makes me so yappy 😍congrats to @BrookeEmerling and team! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

My lab having a fight about this: #lipidtime enthusiasts, did they pick the right PIP2?

For all you #lipidtime enthusiasts looking for a higher sensitivity phosphatidic acid biosensor, Claire Weckerly’s new preprint will be Nirvana! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
