the TRIM9/TRIM67 Interactome
New Preprint from the lab by Shalini Menon et al is available on BioRxiv. “The TRIM9/TRIM67 neuronal interactome reveals novel activators of morphogenesis”
Gupton Lab Works Remotely
The Gupton lab started ramping down our lab work the second week of March, and shuttered our doors on March 17th to socially isolate and slow the spread of coronavirus. We donated all our available PPE and while we miss the lab, we are happy to do our small part in this battle. We have plenty of writing and data analysis to do at home. See you soon lab!
Laura will head to MBL Physiology Course!
Laura McCormick was accepted into the historic Physiology course at the Marine Biological Laboratories in Woods Hole MA. Congrats Laura!
Two New Internal Funding Awards
Laura McCormick received a 10k CFAC award for her proposal to define proteome changes in the PSD of our Trim9 and Trim67 knockout mice! Stephanie Gupton and Saskia Neher received a 50K award to study LPL trafficking from the School of Medicine Emerging Challenges in Biological Research
New lab preprint on TRIM67, SNAP47 and exocytic mode
Fabio Urbina et al., post a preprint on BioRxiv showing SNARE complex composition distinguishes discrete modes of exocytosis with distinct kinetics and diverse consequences in membrane addition and morphogenesis in developing cortical neurons.
Review by Laura McCormick published in Current Opinion in Cell Biology
Laura and Stephanie publish an invited review, “Mechanistic Advances in Axon Pathfinding, in Current Opinion in Cell Biology.
A Yin Yang of Ligases in Filopodia Regulation
Nick’s final paper from the lab was published online at JCB this week! Congratulations Nick!
ASCB/EMBO 2019
Stephanie, Fabio, and Laura attended the annual meeting of the ASCB/EMBO in Washington DC, with 2 talks and 4 posters between us (including Shalini Menon and Nick Boyer’s work from the lab). As always ASCB was inspiring, empowering and exhausting!
