🚨 Exciting update!
"The microcephaly-associated protein YIPF5 differentially regulates ER-export" is now on bioRxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
If you're curious about the #secretory pathway, #membrane #trafficking, or #neurodevelopmental #disorders, this one’s for you!

Latest paper from the lab @CellBiol_MRCLMB, Anna's @drannabelmay PhD work hot off the press @PLOSBiology! Using single cell genomics to understand tube morphogenesis, and why it's as important to switch things off as it is to switch them on!

Super cool new work from the McDole lab on the extreme stress primordial germ cells have to endure on their journey to the gonads during embryonic development. It’s wild that a new generation is even possible after all that!

In case you missed it, check out our recent preprint on developmental timing and how slower means bigger, axons that is!

Very cool preprint by my colleague Kate McDole and her postdoc Katie Goodwin @CellBiol_MRCLMB using beautiful imaging and quantitative methods to understand the wondrous migrations of primordial germ cells in mouse embryos doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.03.6…

Image shows how ER-ESCAPE binds a conserved lumenal pocket of SURF4. @jmaldutyte, @LizMillerCU) and colleagues @MRC_LMB @dundeeuni show that ER export via SURF4 uses diverse mechanisms of both client and coat engagement. hubs.la/Q02XVkYJ0

ER export via SURF4 uses diverse mechanisms of both client and coat engagement, say Julija Maldutyte (@jmaldutyte), Liz Miller (@LizMillerCU) and colleagues @MRC_LMB @dundeeuni: hubs.la/Q02XVpcs0

Really proud of this paper just out in JCB. At almost every turn, SURF4 surprised us. Amazing PhD student, @jmaldutyte, sleuthed it out.

Finally, bioinformatic analysis by @xlichem systematically examined SURF4 export signals across the secretome, finding that cytokines/chemokines and proteases are most likely to access the "fast-track".

One last shout-out to @JCellBiol who handled an efficient, constructive and very fair peer review process. I know I'm biased because I'm an academic editor there, but this is now my go-to journal for our very best work.

In @JCellBiol, @jmaldutyte, @LizMillerCU et al. @MRC_LMB show that traffic of soluble secretory proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum by the export receptor, SURF4, is remarkably complex. hubs.la/Q02XW9fQ0

Amazing new work from @diallinas @diallinaslab showcasing a Golgi-bypass mechanism of transporter trafficking to the plasma membrane!🥳 In @eLife: Distinct trafficking routes of polarized and non-polarized membrane cargoes in Aspergillus nidulans doi.org/10.7554/eLife.103355
