First up is Dr. Alaina Willet! She is working on understanding phosphoregulation of cytokinetic proteins. Fun fact: she learned to make French macarons FROM SCRATCH during quarantine. Kudos Alaina! #postdocappreciationweek

These movies are the Gould Lab gold standard for measuring contractile ring dynamics and I will never get tired of making them and watching them 😍

So excited to announce the latest paper from Gould Lab, now out in Molecular Cell! We found a new autophosphorylation site that helps regulate the activity of CK1. I'm going to attempt my first tweetorial... 1/8 authors.elsevier.com/c/1eq1Y3vVUPK7…

New work from Alaina H. Willet et al. at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (Vanderbilt School of Medicine) shows that Ankyrin-1 inhibits #membrane binding of Myosin-1, an actin-based motor that works with the Arp2/3 complex to trigger #endocytosis in yeast. molbiolcell.org/doi/epdf/10.10…

Another set of temperature sensitive alleles that didn’t fit into a recent pub. Special thanks to undergraduate student Bita Tavafoghi for her hard work finishing this up!
