Providing order amongst constant cargo traffic: Sean Munro’s group in the LMB’s Cell Biology Division and John Briggs’ group at the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry, identify how GOLPH3 enables COPI vesicles to distinguish between Golgi resident and proteins bound for the endoplasmic reticulum.
Protein sorting in the Golgi: Should I stay or should I go?

Generating paired helical filaments (PHFs) in vitro presents new opportunities for Alzheimer’s research
Research spearheaded by Sofia Lövestam in Michel Goedert and Sjors Scheres’ groups has identified a combination of 12 residues in tau which, when mutated in vitro, prompt the formation of paired helical filaments (PHFs), the distinctive hallmark of advanced Alzheimer’s disease. Interestingly, in the engineered tau, named PAD12, the residues in question are all outside […]
