Very excited and grateful to get this opportunity to study new aspects of TDP-43 with @nicolasluxfawzi.bsky.social @ayalalab.bsky.social and Jeetain Mittal!

#preprint Postdoc Nirbhik Acharya used NMR to find three transient helices within intrinsically-disordered regions of shuttle protein Dsk2 -- these interact with STI1. The STI1 is important for phase separation and proteasome condensates in yeast. Comments welcome! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

In lab’s #FIRSTPREPRINT, we present methods to measure nanometer-scale organization around & between specific proteins in condensates in live cells. We uncover unexpected heterogeneity for a liquid-like phase with local meshwork spanning 10-50nm, stemming from ribosome biogenesis in the nucleolus.

Proud to share: "Ensemble docking for intrinsically disordered proteins" from Dartmouth undergrad Anjali Dhar 24' and grad student Tommy Sisk. We present ensemble docking strategies for IDPs that, remarkably, seem to work! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Code: github.com/paulrobustel...

Endosome maturation is orchestrated by inside-out proton signaling through a Na+/H+ exchanger and pH-dependent Rab GTPase cycling https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.12.09.627558v1

Our work on how CPEB4 mis-splicing leads to its aggregation in autism spectrum disorder is now published in Nature. rdcu.be/d2qjW I would like to thank the collaborators who joined the team during the revision process as well as the funders who supported us.
