I'm super excited to share our study in collaboration with @jnpruneda.bsky.social, published today in @embojournal.org! We show that PARPs are modified with a non-canonical ester-linked mono-ADP-ribosylated ubiquitin species for the first time in cells: www.embopress.org/doi/full/10....

I loved 😍 reading this paper on how "special" ER-PM contact sites regulate plasmodesmata. Cell biology done properly!!! From the labs of two of my cell biology heroes @emmanuellebayer.bsky.social & @yvonjaillais.bsky.social www.cell.com/cell/fulltex... Kudos to everyone involved!!!

Big congrats @sebastianfalk.bsky.social - super happy to have you here as a fantastic colleague at the @viennabiocenter.bsky.social!

the proteasome still holds secrets – amazing new study shows how midnolin drives ubiquitin-independent degradation, repurposing proteasomal Rpn11 to act as a receptor not a deubiquitinase, while PSMD2 anchors midnolin via its NLS motif. wow. congrats to all authors. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
