Paper Submitted!

By apalazzo on May 11, 2007.

But this is no time to rest ... Tuesday I'm giving the first talk of our inaugural New England RNA Data Club (yes we've renamed it to the New England RNA Data Club ... we're having folks from out of state). There will be a total of 3 talks in this first assembly, mine + two on miRNAs.

I'll let you know how it goes.

But now that the paper is out, perhaps I can compose all these little entries I've been wanting to write.

1) Gunnar von Heijne's paper in Science from way back in February/March on how membrane proteins evolved. (I should add that Dan wrote something about it.)
2) The new Hegde paper in Cell from back in March on how C-terminal tail-anchored proteins get inserted into the membrane.
3) The Izzaraulde paper in MCB on the relation between RNA silencing and P-body formation.

Any other requests?

I finally got off of my butt and read the latest paper from the Hegde group at the NIH. They answered a fundamental problem in membrane biology: how do you insert tail-anchored proteins into the membrane. When proteins are synthesized, any newly made signal sequence or transmembrane domain that…

Last week I saw an awesome lecture by Gaudenz Danuser who has a lab at the Scripps institute in San Diego. It has taken me a week to fully digest what was said, plus I haven't had the time to jot this down. Over the past few years the Danuser lab along with Claire Waterman-Storer's group (see this…
