Pfitzner, Zivkovic et al. @RouxLab @unige_en characterize a novel membrane-bound ESCRT-III copolymer initiated by Vps60 that are spatially & biochemically distinct from classical Snf7-based ESCRT-III filaments in vitro & may have diverse functions in vivo. bit.ly/46dKlmD

In this work @AKPfitzner, @HenryZivkovic and @ces91bernat, in collaboration with the Odorizzi lab in Boulder, show that Chmp5/Vps60 can form ESCRT-III filaments like Snf7, suggesting that distinct ESCRT-III filaments can perform similar functions. @sciences_UNIGE @unige_en

My first preprint! We combined chemical kinetics with elasticity to study the dynamic assembly/disassembly of shape-shifting composite filaments that sculpt cell membranes 🌀 Joint forces with @SaricLab @ivanpla, @Lab_Baum and @RouxLab @AKPfitzner ➡️ biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
Et voilà 🥳 Check out the last chapter of my PhD work in @RouxLab done together with the brilliant Master student @HenryZivkovic biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Thesis celebration 🥳
This tuesday, @AKPfitzner from @RouxLab succesfully defended her thesis "Membrane remodeling by dynamic ESCRT-III polymers" 😀
Congratulation Dr. Pfitzner, we wish you all the best for the future 😁

Did you ever wondered how cell membrane tension evolved during osmotic shocks? The answer is counter-intuitively simple and quantitative. Congrats to @CRoffay for her first paper! Great collaboration with @lenz_lab and @GuckLab ! @sciences_UNIGE @unige_en

Super cool movies of in vitro sliding MTs at different ATP concentrations from this year’s cytoskeleton practical course. I am amazed every time again!🤩🧪🔬
