Vps60 initiates alternative ESCRT-III filaments https://t.co/a0pFxgAyDY

[Journal of Cell Biology @JCellBiol]

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. https://t.co/AGMsqYD4fg

[Roux Lab @RouxLab]

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

Congratulations to Anna-Katharina Pfitzner @AKPfitzner, PhD student @RouxLab, one of the four winners of the #PrixSchläfli 2022 in #naturalsciences.

She has researched a mechanism that is key to many processes in cell #biology.

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 ➡️ https://t.co/p9JrIhhjRa

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 😁

In our ongoing series of sharing #BirnstielAward acceptance talks, we nod at #InternationalWomensDay with @AKPfitzner's (@RouxLab, @unige_en) "Sequential polymerisation of ESCRT-III subunits drive membrane deformation and fission". https://t.co/YHUvwtjKPw

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
