Our latest paper is out!

/ News / By Suayib Üstün

Our latest publication about the interplay of autophagy and the proteasome during bacterial infection in plants is out in The Plant Cell. You can find our publication here:

Excited to share our latest work by Gautier Langin Excited to share our latest work by Gautier Langin on how „ER-anchored protein sorting controls the fate of two proteasome activators for intracellular organelle communication“. Our findings provide a new conceptual framework, in which an autoregulatory feedback loop integrates signals from different compartments to ensure global surveillance of cellular proteostasis. You can find the link to the #preprint in our story! Listen also to the audio summary provided in the story! https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.12.11.571118v1 . . . #proteostasis #science #sciencecommunication #scicomm #research #plantscience #arabidopsis @ruhrunibochum @biologie.rub #molecularbiology #biology #microscopy #genetics #biochemistry #microbiology

Protein translation is one of the fundamental step Protein translation is one of the fundamental steps du generate proteins. Under certain stress conditions translation is stalled in structures called Processing bodies (PBs). Their generation, composition, and dynamics are still not understood. #theustunlab is trying to decipher their functions during plant-pathogen interactions using various techniques including #proteomics #cellbiology. Using our approaches we could identify several new components of PBs that appear during bacterial infection. The image is live-cell microscopy of a PB (fused to GFP, green) and a novel PB component (fused to RFP, magenta) that seem to transiently interact in plant cells. We hypothesize that this component might be required to recycle PBs upon infection ♻️🦠 . . . #plantscience #microscopy #science #sciencecommunication #scicomm #proteostasis #arabidopsis #microbiology #research #laboratory #confocalmicroscopy @leica.microsystems #biology #autophagy @biologie.rub @ruhrunibochum

This week is the 5th anniversary of #theustunlab 🥳We had our ups & downs, success & failure, celebrations & farewells, moved from University of Tuebingen to Ruhr University Bochum @biologie.rub @ruhrunibochum. Often it was rewarding & sometimes painful, but I still share the same excitement for my job and #theustunlab🙏 Let‘s see what the next years will bring us. #happybirthday . . . #scicomm #science #sciencecommunication #research #laboratory #university #postdoclife #phdlife #academics #academicchatter #academia #plantscientists #plantscience #bochum #tübingen

I‘m grateful for everyone who crossed my path during this time and thankful for all the experiences I made. Special thanks to @margot.ra for her great surprise 💚 📸 @goopaul

Publication alert 📣 We had the chance to summar Publication alert 📣 We had the chance to summarize key findings on „the plant ubiquitin-proteasome as a target for microbial manipulation“ in @annualreviews. We highlight the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system in plant defense responses and how it is exploited by various pathogens🦠for their own benefit. Our own research in #theustunlab is also focusing on the role of the ubiquitin-proteasome system during environmental stress responses.
