So far we heard from Marija Zanic who talked about SSNA1, a sensor for microtubule damage and microtubule stabiliser, that increases their rigidity and protects against breakage.

Next, Varun Ramaswamy described how he tackled the difficult problem of determining the structure of full length HSET motor.

Meharry Medical College student Mudiare Ikoba highlights a publication in the Journal of Cell Biology from SBGrid member Antonina Roll-Mecak and colleagues in which the authors analyze the structure of the RPGR-TTLL5 complex to shed light on the pathomechanism of retititis pigmentosa.

🚨 NEW PAPER 🚨

Vishakha and colleagues in the Cross group show that ATPγS causes single kinesin molecules to pause under load in an Await-Isomerisation (AI) state that leaks hand-over-hand backsteps.

"ATPγS substantially defeats the biasing mechanism for kinesin steps”

Axons and dendrites are fundamentally different. An example from #Drosophila:

"axons and dendrites can accumulate different microtubule-binding proteins; protein synthesis machinery is concentrated in the cell body; pre- and post-synaptic sites localize to distinct regions of the neuron; and specializations similar to the initial segment are present. In addition, we track EB1-GFP dynamics and determine microtubules in axons and dendrites have opposite polarity."

"Polarity and intracellular compartmentalization of Drosophila neurons", Rolls et al. 2007
https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/1749-8104-2-7

To collapse axons and dendrites into point neurons in a simulation of neural circuits is, at this point, malpractice.

Anne says: The motors are out of quarantine and we plan to assemble in person on 8th May 2026 at University of Warwick Campus for a fun day on motors and the filaments they walk along. Livestream is planned too. More details on registration, travel bursaries etc. will be revealed soon.

@sellathechemist @compoundchem phallotoxins like phalloidin, also fascinating. Used extensively in #CellBiology research to label #Actin #Cytoskeleton, but i don't really know the route of toxicity in animals.
