New work out of Deb Bell-Petersen's lab shows the circadian clock regulates the CPC-3 kinase, using uncharged tRNAs binding to GCN1, to phosphorylate the translation initiation factor eIF2alpha, suggesting translation and peak cellular energy levels are temporally coordinated.

New work from Meritxell Riquelme and colleagues characterized the chitin synthase expoert protein CSE-8 in Neurospora. They show that chitin synthase-3 (CHE-3) requires CSE-8 for export from the ER and proper sexual development, and that CSE-8 is an ER-specific protein.

An interesting historical perspective of classical genetics by Durgadas Kasbekar on the Neurospora fmf-1 allele, which encodes a TF for activating mating pheromone signalling genes. Given the sexual cross defects, they tried to use fmf-1 to enrich for RIP mutants, but could not.

New work from Xiao Liu and colleagues highlight checkpoint kinases CHK1/2 regulate chromatin composition during the circadian cycle, with CHK1/2 binding the WCC for H3T11P & H3K56ac, which counteract H2A.Z deposition. CHK1/2 are also needed for a robust circadian transcriptome.

This interesting new work is found in Nucleic Acids Research, here: academic.oup.com/nar/article/53…

Thank you Neurospora community for such a fun- and nurturing environment! 🙌 Neurospora Oh, the Places You'll Go!

It is frightening how quickly one transitions from one role to the other after taking a faculty job. Sorry current and former Hurley Lab members. Faculty got to be Faculty!

Just a few days left to apply. Looking forward to your application! careers.rpi.edu/mob/en-us/job/…

My department is looking for our newest faculty member. The review of applications starts soon. Hope to see your application in there! careers.rpi.edu/mob/en-us/job/…
