ARAP2 regulates responses to interferon-gamma by restricting SOCS1 Open
SUMMARY Interferon-gamma (IFNγ) is critical for immunity against intra-macrophagic pathogens, signaling through the JAK-STAT pathway to induce a tyrosine-phosphorylation cascade that ensures a potent immune response. Excessive JAK-STAT sig…

Endoplasmic reticulum morphology regulation by RTN4 modulates neuronal regeneration by curbing luminal transport Open
Cell functions rely on intracellular transport systems distributing bioactive molecules with high spatiotemporal accuracy. The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) tubular network constitutes a system for delivering luminal solutes, including Ca

Endoplasmic Reticulum morphological regulation by RTN4/NOGO modulates neuronal regeneration by curbing luminal transport Open
Cell and tissue functions rely on an elaborate intracellular transport system responsible for distributing bioactive molecules with high spatiotemporal accuracy. The tubular network of the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) constitutes a system fo…

Satellite repeat transcripts modulate heterochromatin condensates and safeguard chromosome stability in mouse embryonic stem cells Open
Summary Heterochromatin maintains genome integrity and function, and is organised into distinct nuclear domains. Some of these domains are proposed to form by phase separation through the accumulation of HP1α. Mammalian heterochromatin con…

Illuminating chromatin compaction in live cells and fixed tissues using SiR-DNA fluorescence lifetime Open
The global compaction state of chromatin in a nucleus is an important component of cell identity that has been difficult to measure. We have developed a quantitative method to measure the chromatin compaction state in both live and fixed c…

A waveguide imaging platform for live-cell TIRF imaging of neurons over large fields of view Open
Large fields of view (FOVs) in total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) via waveguides have been shown to be highly beneficial for single molecule localisation microscopy on fixed cells [1, 2] and have also been demonstrat…

Intra-mitochondrial proteostasis is directly coupled to alpha-synuclein and Amyloid β 1-42 pathology Open
Mitochondria have long been implicated in Parkinson’s disease (PD), however, it is not clear how mitochondrial impairment and alpha-synuclein pathology are coupled. We report here that intra-mitochondrial protein homeostasis plays a major …

BAX requires VDAC2 to mediate apoptosis and to limit tumor development Open
Intrinsic apoptosis is critical for normal physiology including the prevention of tumor formation. BAX and BAK are essential for mediating this process and for the cytotoxic action of many anticancer drugs. BAX and BAK are thought to act i…

Bid chimeras indicate that most BH3-only proteins can directly activate Bak and Bax, and show no preference for Bak versus Bax Open
The mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis is initiated by Bcl-2 homology region 3 (BH3)-only members of the Bcl-2 protein family. On upregulation or activation, certain BH3-only proteins can directly bind and activate Bak and Bax to induce co…
